The prices of the Heirloom decks in paper aren't budget at all. Using the original price limits of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 1 in MKM gives an average deck price of $30. It's more accurate to use higher limits and see the price trend instead of the lowest price so there's less fluctuation in price. That's why the limits are 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 looking at the price trend.
Are you following the heirloom legality list for MTGO? (Classic Heirloom being a Player Run MTGO Event). If so, Isochron Scepter is currently legal, and would be a great place to stash a Boomerang, Echoing Truth or Memory Lapse...
Isochron Scepter + Boomerang = "return all friends to owners houses". Seems on-theme.
With the current deck, you need a win condition beyond decking them or the single Aetherling. Otherwise opponent could just kill you with like Scryb Sprites and Burst Lightnings while all your resources are spent bouncing lands. Why not play more Ebony Owl Netsuke maindeck to kill them?

There's also this nice legality checker.
If you're basing it strictly on paper prices, I have no idea what's legal.
