Dusk Wrote:Words is suggesting something that is not only very expensive, but very hard to play. You can definitely build a good casual deck for 50 bucks. 500 is a pretty reasonable budget for a tournament quality Standard deck, and the only reason you'd need to spend more is because there's a bunch of old cards that are insanely overpowered that run over 100 bucks each.
By the way, check out tappedout.net for a place to build a deck and browse other peoples' decks. It calculates the price of the deck, too, if you end up wanting to buy it.
Damn it, you're right. Just checked and they're really really expensive and I didn't know that... I used to have some of the cards listed in the deck when they were kinda cheap and I never thought they'd be so pineappleing expensive. I thought that deck I posted, other than the vendillion and snapcasters would be cheap, and would be $100 tops but holy crap this game is expensive. And even if it's hard, he said he likes control.... but yeah ignore my first post, KhainiWest.
I'm sure that if you look for "pauper mono blue delver" decks you'll find something very cheap, fun and control-ish.
EDIT: Also, $500 is enough for a competitive quality standard deck? Like tier 2 or tier 1? Seems cheaper than a year or two ago.
