Painter (budget legacy)

I understand where you are coming from. Its meant to me a playable more reasonably priced deck in a format where the average deck runs you $2000-$5000 to build from scratch. I've been researching decks in legacy and trying to brew up more cost effective versions that can still be fun and competitive when at your local legacy events and the like without sacrificing all of the efficiency. A good example is this deck here normally costs around $1500-$2500 to build but tuning it a bit and reworking the strategy a little so it can play without those higher dollar cards and still be fun and competitive, you can get that list down to the high $300s or low $400s. This isn't budget at all in terms of standard (it is around what a tier 1 standard deck would cost though) and it's a pretty reasonable price point for a build if you are getting in to let's say pioneer or even a cheaper modern deck. In terms of legacy though, I feel it's fair to say this is a very budget friendly build for those seeking to get in to the format especially considering you can build it for the cost of a really good standard deck and still see results and have fun in the legacy community. My personal legacy deck (I run a colorless post deck) cost me around $1200 to put together (would be even more now with the price increase on some of the cards) and that is considered a budget friendly option for legacy lmao. Also, sorry for the long explanation, I just wanted to clear up why its budget for a stack of 75 pieces of cardboard to cost around $400 lol. I appreciate the feedback though!

I completely understand what you mean. Normally, I think budget at like $50 or less...but considering the deck playstyle...i can see what you mean.
