I am basically creating a super budget version of this deck, and the big problems occur with the following (because they cost too much)
Sylvan Caryatid, Courser of Kruphix, Hornet queen (kind of), Temple of abandon, Wooded foothills, Haven of the Spirit dragon, and Nykthos, shrine to nyx. (Note: I am adding one Atarka, Dragonlord , and replacing the plansewalkers with 4 Atarka, world eater or something because budget. Do you have any advice on what to do with those? Any help would be appreciated.
The link you included doesn't actually work, but I'm assuming it's a Gx devotion build of some kind. The green red lands can be replaced by cards like Kazandu Refuge. Some of the cards don't have an actual replacement like Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and effect the deck so much that it's not worth building without them.
Also you said you have a tournament. What format is this for?
If you're playing in a tournament, is that Modern format? If so, you could probably post on the appropriate format's deck creation subforum for the appropriate help.
Also, assuming that's Mono-Green Devotion, that whole deck needs Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx to work. If you can't afford that card, the deck's just bad. What some Modern format decks do for similar results, which may be cheaper, is 4x Arbor Elf + 4x Utopia Sprawl plus additional bigger ramp spells and land-untappers. Google "Modern RG Ponza" and there are a bunch of decks and critiques. "Modern Amulet Titan" would probably be the closest established deck in concept, but several of the central cards are pretty expensive.
I am new(ish) to MTG, as in I know what stuff like Ferocious is, but I need advice on this deck.
(before I say this apologies I do not know how to do the card link thing lol)

And its kinda like an in-between tournament in which you can use any cards (not banned or fake obviously)but there is still prizes/places/stuff
Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker
Sarkhan, Fireblood
Xenagos, The Reveler
Are all fine cheaper options that could help you cast your big dragons
Speaking of Big Dragons, how about some smaller ones too?
Stormbreath Dragon
Glorybringer
Might have a place in this list also.

You should definitely post, if you have questions or anything please ask. Never feel bad or embarrassed about not knowing something.
btw TCGplayer generally has pretty good prices for singles.
