I am making one pretty cheap. I just went half and half for the izzet vs golgari deck and picked izzet. Then im taking the preconstructed izzet deck from return to ravnica. And sifting through commons and uncommons. Built it for 35$ and it runs great so far

My controll deck is 650 and that is nothing for a legacy. It is standard though.

Standard is the most expensive format to me. It's the pace of it, a new set comes out every 4 months? I know the most expensive decks are legacy and vintage, but at that point it's an investment. Those lands won't lose value, whereas in standard a peaked {primeval Titan} saw north of 25$ and now it's 5-7$

That's good to know. Mine seems to be heading Ina aggro direction, with the non-izzet cards I put in. But will bring it back to control soon. Not that anybody cares. What's the cheapest yet most effective kind of deck?
