I've been looking to buy a good combo deck for some time now and a friend subjected Long.dec.. I tested it out and i like the style of play but with the card that are in it, it's going to cost a lot here's my present deck list any suggestions on making it cheaper $100-$250 would be great. Keep in mind there's a 5 proxy limit.
Thanks for your help.

All the expensive cards are basically the ones that are the keystones of type1 magic, there's really no effective way to budgetize the Power.
There are 2 things I think you can do, though neither is optimal they are changes that I think wont horribly screw up the deck:
i) cut a 'real' mox for Chrome Mox and save 1 piece of Power that way. Chrome Mox is nowhere near as good but it might be good enough if you're on a budget. Try it out & see how many times it works well enough & how many times it screws you because you don't have a card you're happy to imprint.
ii) cut Time Walk. You're playing storm combo, you win in 1 turn, while Time Walk is great early like on turn1 to cantrip & give you an extra land drop to set yourself up, it's no good to draw/Desire up when you're halfway through your storm count and going for the kill. This is probably the least important Power card in this deck. Replace it with a cheap cantrip (Sleight of Hand, Peek), cheap card drawer (Night's Whisper, to steal an idea from Meandeck Tendrils) or bounce spell to give yourself an out against Chalice/3sphere (Chain of Vapor, Hurkyl's Recall).
