so I've been saving up for half a year now and managed to get a 160 dollars.

These are links to the tournaments that happened yesterday/today, I'm interesting in playing monogreen or the junk reanimator deck, for the monogreen deck I only have already 3 coursers, a carytid, and 2 chords of calling and the commons/uncommons. The cost of the 3 carytids,Polukcranos/Nissan etc is more than 160. And the cards I need for the junk are pushing 180. Help needed..

Adjust the deck so instead of Polukranos run a different 4 drop for now maybe something that's a common then eventually when you get more money switch it back

Deck is sweet, but I feel it wants a couple of {Chord of Calling}s.

You could always play Modern instead of Standard....
Only if his budget had an extra zero on the end...

Modern runs {Young Pyromancer}, {Delver of Secrets} and some other commons and uncommon from the past 2-3 years. Modern is a non-rotating format that you can grow with it. Fetches flooding the market now, Shocks just left Standard. {Liliana of the Veil} and others are expensive, but you could be in tier 2 of Modern and build over the coming months into Tier 1.

I know :P

Just giving you a hard time. Tier one is pretty expensive though. THSTS shy I'm building bloom titsn. $275~ and tier 1.5-2. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Dudecore

I for the record, do not play Modern. I detest the format and think it's very very poor. That being said, I care about players. :P

A non-rotating format will always be better then Standard because of the investment for reward. Standard is sort of price fixed in a way that Rares will always be $20 or less, at a price above $20 it's worth it to open boxes. Save for the {Mutavault} thing, that trend has been around forever. Also, when Standard rotates prices plummet. Casual players have no worries, because they're not searching for the super playable cards everyone else is spending their paychecks on.

Modern has the advantage of growing with you, staples will always be good. So in another 2-3 years, even if the entire landscape is different, Shocklands and Fetches will still be good.

I love modern and trying to get out of standard, because in the long run, standard is more expensive than modern. I hate that in order to stay on top of standard, you constantly have to pour money into it. While in Modern, though the initial cost maybe high (depending on the deck), once you build it, all that's left is just a few updates here and there. You don't have to worry about rotations. I have 2 modern decks that do not run fetches that are pretty competitive, although I'm building up to fetches for my zoo deck...
