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.
I don't follow the pro scene much, but enough to win your local FNM, sure. And I'm sure the cheaper top decks do run in that range. Plus, good piloting and luck play a factor, too, so even cheaper decks can win on occasion. There was a Maze's End deck that placed Top 8 at some PTQ pretty recently.
