Just having some fun coming up for a budget-y Modern combo deck and came up with this. Obviously I won't be able to afford more upgraded versions of certain cards already here (e.g: Thoughtsieze), but I would still like some feedback. I am deliberating over the inclusion of certain cards for example, and looking at options:

-Is Soul Spike any good here? I'm currently choosing it over Rite of Consumption ; which is more useful/more flexible?

-Are the Doom Blade s necessary, or can I take away one or two to put in more oil cards like Pain's Reward ? Also, before anyone mentions, I tried Ad Nauseam and most of the time the deck was just too fast for it to be any use.

-Do I need Disentomb to help me bring back my Death's Shadow s?

-Dash Hopes ? I'm thinking this won't work very well, but need confirmation or correction on this one.

And et cetera. I'd like any feedback you can offer, but remember, BUDGET feedback.
