I haven't read a boab article in a while but I saw this and the article said it was easy to piece together. I guess I mistook this for cheap to put together, after checking it comes to about $95. Is this considered budget nowadays?

compared to some of the current standard decks that run anywhere between $300 and $500 for a deck yeah, it's pretty budget

Honestly, reveilark seems like an odd choice. the deck is running 24 land with no mutavaults, and is using a dual land that is far more expensive than the M10/M11 one. It really seems like there would be better maindeck choices, even if they were cryptic commands.
I didn't see a jund matchup, I suspect this deck would not fare well against it, especially tapping 6 to play a lark and not having any countermagic to stop opposing planeswalkers.

'Budget' seems to be a very subjective term nowadays. $95 is honestly a good price for a reasonably decent deck like this. I wouldnt call it budget by any means, but it's better than the prices of some of the other decks in extended.
I like fun, but competitive decks. So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

anyone think they'd have trouble with getting this deck for less than 95$?
looks closer to 25-30
the 0 mutavaults in the list definetly qualifies as budget
12 lords? pfft we want 16 or 20, 24?

Not to question your math skills but unless you want to waste half your life dealing with actual players on mtgo when it comes to acquiring cards...(no one does)
Then the playsets of Wanderwine Hub and Reveillark will cost 45 alone. Wake Thrasher is another 15 and Glen Elenda Archmage is 18 for the PAIR! So right now thats 78...Double your estimate. I would continue pricing but I think you get the point. I built a monoblack Commander deck for either close to the price of this deck or less...

Sadly, if it's under 100$, I'd call it cheap/budget. That's just me, but I'm not sure how much lower you can go while making any decks with the ability to win.

Hey Jacob, this is a little off topic, but it might be a good break to try to make a new pauper deck. It's been a while since you've done something outside of standard/extended, and the last few sets have given us some interesting commons...
Just a thought. gl, hf
