Plus by giving the deck a try with budget options you may illicit sympathy and maybe somebody will let you borrow some cards after you ingratiate yourself to their play group. For $100-150 your manaless and burn cards will be worth the same in a year because nobody actually wants to play those cards they only do so because they are poor. Don't waste $100-150 on a piece of shit deck that will alienate you from people who want to play games of magic. With the fetches being dirt cheap just play more basics, a couple of shocks if you need to. I'd like to know about the "cost efficient" Legacy Merfolk you know of though.Just play budget stone blade if you want to play stone blade. But since I'm new to the idea of Legacy, I didn't research too much about the various deck types, just what I new from experienced Legacy players. Just the Mutavaults alone are more expensive than the entire deck. The first few decks I looked at required 4 Mutavaults, and several of them require 4x True-Name Nemesis. I'd hardly call Merfolk "cost efficient" though. I'm also trying to avoid Force of Will, etc but I know if I were to go to a tournament, that's exactly what I'd need. Besides, the goal is to hopefully finish up in 3 or 4 turns, so taking 2 damage turn 1 for a Magus won't be a terrible thing. Of course they also had 8 fetches, but that's not going to happen because they're too expensive. Breeding Pool is because I have them and they were in the WOTC deck I saw. I won't do that because I like Standard too much. If I stayed out of Standard a year, I could afford a competitive Modern deck, and if I stayed out of Standard for three years, maybe I could afford a decent Legacy deck. I'd like to be able to do an Affinity deck that lets me win in 3 turns, but I can't even do that yet. I stayed out of Modern long enough, and I started out with a very budget deck, just what I had from Innistrad Block, 4x of each of the Guildpact commons, and then what I pulled from Modern Masters. Had I not even seen the blue/green deck from Wizards, I would have continued avoiding Legacy. Since I'm familiar with how a High Tide deck works because I've watched it played enough, I figured I'd start with what I know. The deck I'm working on/modifying is similar to one that was a deck on last year (plugged into SCG's deck builder, the total at the lowest cost would be $23 since I had Ponder and Breeding Pool).
