So I should buy the Lego deck, start buying my foil damia deck, or invest?

I'm in the process of trading for 2 of the duel deck liliana.

What legacy deck?

Leylines. Unless you have another suggestion of a budget deck that'd still viable and fun?

Nope, just curious.

Leylines and Manaless Dredge are on the Low-Budget-Not-/Really-Playing-Magic track.  My first one was Affinity, which is still pretty affordable.  The only expensive cards are the set of {Mox Opals} and is still fairly competitive.

not-really-playing-magic?

Dredge has a reputation as being one of the farthest things from Magic you can play while still playing Magic, since the deck plays so much differently than any other deck.  Leylines is is kind of on that level because it's you basically end the game, one way or the other, in the first three turns.  However, being able to aggressively mulligan with {Serum Powder} sounds hilarious.

any decks you'd recommend over leylines, while still being budgety?

normal dredge is your best bet.  its budget ecept for the leds.  manaless is a lot cheaper, but it has no answer at all to graveyard hate.  normal dredge can still do stuff.

But LEDs at like $300..

I'll give you $350 for those lands Remillo

[Remillo]

The three Semi-Competitive, Semi-Budget options I can think of off the top of my head are Affinity, Goblins and Merfolk.  Affinity's highest cost is about the 200-250 for your set of {Mox Opals} and can compete pretty well.  Goblins has kinda fallen out of favor, but the most expensive things for it are a set of {AEther Vial}s and {Cavern of Souls}.  Merfolk is the highest cost of the three, since you'll need Caverns, Vials and probably a set of {Force of Wills}, but it can be absolutely devastating in the right metagame.

There's already a merfolk player at my lgs, already a few affinity players, and I want to play a more unknown deck.

Last I heard, my store was giving 375 in credit for the set, which seemed kinda meh against the 500-600 you could get on EBay, but then...  Ebay dropped a little bit and I realize, hey, it's free money anyways.  Might as well cash them in now.

[Dudecore]

Yeah. I've been on ebay, no one is getting $400+ for them. Someone at my LGS will sell for $375, trying to see if I can get em for $350

I have a bunch of {Auriok Champions} signed by the artist. At least the ebay auction claimed he signed them. Frankly I think the signature gets in the way of the flavor text :)

I also have a foil 8th edition {Grave Pact}, idk how I managed to forget that lol, that is easily in my top 3 favorite of my cards that I own.

Which you will trade to me because that person should have traded it to me.  They just forgot about me.  :P

In my defense, I did call dibs 😁👍

I got a hot wife and 2 kids with her so that means I have gotten lucky at least twice 😆
