Deck that you aren't afraid to play?

So I play budget (<$150-200/deck) and I often run into a pitfall where I play out my hand and cast my commander, just to be wiped by mass removal. Then I'm stuck with commander tax and an empty hand slugging through the rest of the game.

I know that one answer is to spend money to buy expensive ramp/draw cards to recover quickly or play more conservatively by not playing too quickly.

I'm looking for a suggestions for budget friendly commander/deck strategy that isn't afraid to play out its hand and get wiped and/or have its commander removed a bunch of times?
