This deck plays in 3 player games most of the time, sometimes 1v1. My meta is filled with big, horrifying creatures which is why there's so much removal. I don't currently own any sweepers but I'd be fine picking up one or two that are decently priced. It's a budget deck after all. Note: Some cards here definitely aren't considered budget. This is because I got lucky trading for them or finding them in packs. All new additions must be budget friendly.
The plan is to control the board with a lot of removal as well as hand disruption (not much draw power in my casual meta) while winning with General damage.
Yup, there's a Brain Weevil in there. Don't get those eyes checked. He's great with Mimic Vat.
My meta uses a lot of artifacts especially for protecting overpowered Generals. This is the reason for my including painfully expensive anti-artifact cards and things like Incinerate.
Just wondering what can be done to improve this deck. Olivia makes herself bigger allowing me a lot more breathing room in terms of equipment. I ‘m thinking more hand disruption and discarding is needed here.
Alternatively, I was thinking of adding things like Enslave, Act of Treason, Traitorous Blood, etc along with some cheap sac outlets to take some of the aforementioned horrifying creatures for myself then sacrificing them. A few mana for a big swing followed by some dead enemy creatures sounds good but I’m not sure if I should just forget about that and use Olivia’s second ability should I want to steal.
other cards to look into- Syphon mind- it replac es the 1 for 1 discard and makes a 4 card swing- -2 for them +2 for you. decree of pain- this can wipe the board and draw a bunch
I understand the idea of the burn, but you are better off with things that hit more than 1 player-
[CARD]Exanguinate
Earthquake[/CARD]

Just some ideas
Let's say around $3.
Syphon Mind should have been an auto include but Decree is a tad pricy. I own an Exsanguinate but found that I was rarely able to generate enough mana to make it worthwhile. Earthquake is out because damn near everything flies.
