If you have any suggestions please let me know it would be of great assistance, I've been playing with this deck for a year and a half now and have come to a wall in how to improve it. Please note im not in the market for cards over the 25 dollar mark, because my budget is kind of stretched.
Honestly against Teir 1 decks you won't keep up. They are consistently faster then a creature based deck. I know this because I play Teir 1 decks and have a Kumena deck of my own. You'd likely be better off just switching pods. I'd say build your own Teir 1 deck but you mentioned budget so that's probably not an option.
Only other thing you can do is hold up counterspells and removal to stop their combo or remove combo pieces before they go off.
