What's the purpose of Ornery Tortoise in this deck? 

It curves well into Houndmaster because of it's high health I guess

Ornery Tortoise have good status for  Houndmasters and can enter turn 2 with the cost reducing by Helpless Hatchling.

I will make a new version of budget hunter to the standard format!

Thanks for the comment and goodluck!

Yes, exactly! :)

Suggested upgrades for those of us who have been collecting cards for a long time?

This deck accept many variations so you will modify it according to what you are finding.

Good addition options are:

Phase Stalker and then and another secret for exemple a snake trap rat trap or another.

Wild bloodstinger is a great option against galakrond decks.

Master's Call, Scarlet webwever, Hyena Alpha, Nightmare Amalgam, scaped manasaber, life drinker, Oondasta,Octosary and king krush.

Thanks for the comment sorry for the delay to answer! And good luck!
