Title: What defines "budget"?
Post by: lonelytower on October 25, 2014, 06:41:02 am
I realized I've been labelling all my decks "budget", even the ones with pricey spells and planeswalkers in, simply because my own definition of "budget" is less than $50. I'm curious to know what other people here define as "budget". Do you factor in just the price? Or do you consider things like power level, card rarity, ease of getting the cards?

For me. As I have been playing a while and I know the cost of a "budget" deck that meets my Budget.

I have seen "Budget builds" range from $30+ depending on the format.


For Standard. I budget $100 for a deck.

For vintage I budget $200-400. As any Vintage deck that is a "budget" deck is over $100 easy.

I built a fairly good RG beats Vintage deck for a few hundred dollars. BUT I don't think this can happen nowadays. This was back in 09'



IMO,

When on a budget. Save to spend $50 or more.

My definition is under 25$ for budget in general. I play almost exclusively casual constructed in my playgroup, and we've come up with a pretty decent assortment of decks that work really well within a 10$-30$ price range. We're all teenagers with pitiful income though, I would scale budget to your local meta and how much disposable income you can reliably come by.
