I made a Chainer, Dementia Master edh deck that I love playing! It was originally a Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker deck that always felt clunky. I finally got hold of Chainer and I was hooked. When I first put it together I put a bunch of proxies in but I have since taken them out for more budget cards. I want to slowly start putting in some better stuff but BUDGET IS A CONCERN! I don't have much to spend but I want to maximize every penny I spend. So, what should I buy first? Xiahou Dun (/drool), Sheoldred? Geth?, Rune-Scarred Demon? Just looking for some ideas.
Some of the smaller/inefficient creatures like Undercity Informer, Faceless Butcher and Bone Shredder could probably become enchantments that make things a bit easier on you. Exquisite Blood without it's counterpart/combo buddy is a great card to make your life payments less worrisome in long games. Leyline of the Void or Planar Void could help out a lot. Planar Void as opposed to Leyline is a trigger rather than a replacement effect. You can respond to the PV trigger to reanimate before it gets exiled, however PV is a symmetrical effect so some of your stuff will get exiled. It doesn't shut off Dying triggers like leyline does which is important for Artist/Noble/Kokusho etc. As far as inexpensive ($$$ wise) cards that are synergistic:
