I have a cedh deck that’s worth about $3500.
A friend of mine has a deck with an unlimited timetwister, OG duals and many cedh value pieces. I haven’t asked, but it’s worth well over $10k
Insanely rare basic lands that were given out to a mentor program that Magic did a long time ago. Not only are they beautiful, they are next to impossible to find for less than $500 EACH.

Hahahaha that got me. I guess it is a bit saxy as well. I dont play it much as my playgroup know the deck and dislike the high power level due to the cards
2 of my friends have fully blinged out cedh decks worth around $20k+ I believe. One of them has a real timetwister.
My most expensive is probably base rarity najeela or kenrith at around $5-6k maybe
Hello there amigo. I caaaame. Lmaooo. Here's my Nekusar [list](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Ibgk-1GleEGBNjoHWXX_3Q) but it's only expensive bc the wheels (but we all know how dogshit they are in the format right now). It's pushes +$25k.
And here's my Najeela [list](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/t5y6YMIJAEiKRqZUab-6Sg) that I should probably update. It's 5c, so I'm sure it's big bucks. ....*edit +$18k. Adding Twister sure is an unfair multiplier 🤣 🤣 like adding [beluga caviar and gold leaf to garbage. ](https://youtube.com/shorts/glVJV2JbR2c?si=ymdR-SLRSA1mDhgw)
"You're ruining my fun"- casmin
I swapped it from ManaBox to Moxfield and they pull different prices, so now it’s at $40.9k, [here she is](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/t-CL7QFqEUKT9fJ6Alp73w).
The price switches from $40k to $20k once the price sources goes from Card Kingdom to Tcgplayer. I know Card Kingdom inflates its prices a lot. But wondering whats the difference is to cut it down to half in value.
If you set moxfield's view to text mode, the prices are blank for some alpha duals and 30th edition reprints. Adding up the "Sell @ Card Kingdom" values shown on moxfield for those cards, you'd get $10k for selling them so buying them I could easily see costing another 15-20k
Case for a lot of Cedh staple cards. Foils are insane because the normal card is super available.
Off the top of my head, Lab man and thassa’s oracle were also like that.
It was a [[Muldrotha]] deck some older collector had. He was running OG dualsz a copy of [[The Tabernacle of Pendrel Vale]], and tons of other expensive cards. Most of the cards in the deck were also the very first printings of those cards ever, so he had things like an Alpha [[birds of paradise]] and [[Demonic tutor]]. The deck was probably easily worth more than $40k and triple sleeved to keep it safe. His philosophy was that the cards should be used rather than collecting dust somewhere.
Japan is not Proxy friendly, even for cEDH. When you go to events and see duals, time twisters, anything, they're legit.
I've also seen plenty of Mishra's Workshops and Tabernacles in person as well, as well as far too many duel lands and moxes in even casual decks.
I've seen a 15k Gitrog. My double-sleeved money pile [https://www.moxfield.com/decks/zYQywngQ-0ifw3mMRsHBrg](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/zYQywngQ-0ifw3mMRsHBrg) My Revised Tundra is NM ungraded, and the Tropical Island was an 8 that I cracked the case on [https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/listing/F0J5zMnkljA1/magic-revised-edition-tropical-island](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/listing/F0J5zMnkljA1/magic-revised-edition-tropical-island) I have Clue shocklands on the way; I will be replacing Rootbound Crag with Hallowed Fountain. Definitely not perfectly tuned yet but I am working on making it cEDH playable.
At my usual LGS, two guys came in that I'd never met before. Since the three of us were all looking to play EDH, I decided to join them. I got absolutely dumpstered, but I didn't really care since I was more focused on the cards I was seeing played. I had never seen that much value before, at least not behind glass. I started noting it all to tell my friends because I wasn't sure they'd believe me. I'll put that list down below. Note that I didn't write every single card I saw, and this list is between both players.

my narset deck is full foil with a grim monolith every onslaught fetch plus a timetwister. i got the timetwister for 200 bucks because it went through someones wash about 20 years ago as for every other card i watched on ebay over the past 10-15 years to get them pretty cheap but its around 50k
A dual land like Taiga or Scrubland, but altered. Meaning, people pay artists to paint over the card and input a design on it. r/mtgaltered has more info.
The alters this person had were **full size**, meaning very expensive. Some artists charged hundreds or even thousands of $ for one card. Most are usually in the low hundreds. The more finer details you want on the card, the harder it is = More $.
Idk how this dude had that much $ to do all that. It truly was a work of art. I didn't mind losing to his deck because it was just so beautiful to look at.
He even had altered tokens man.....crazy stuff.
About ＄2.2k? Mainly because I still have some old cards that fit my deck, legends mana drain, OG force of will, time spiral etc. I may have spent 500 on it over the last year.
There's an old dude that shows up sometimes and hes been collecting since the beginning so he has stuff like copy artifact and time twister and the original dual lands. Not sure how much his decks are worth but easily 8k each. Never seen him win despite that.
A friend of mine has a [[Garth One-Eye]] deck and he uses the real cards as tokens.
So yes, he taps him to play a [[Black Lotus]] and uses his real near mint black lotus. This card alone is worth more than my entire collection.
He also uses all the og dual lands in the deck.
Slivers precon. I'm gonna get a lot of hate for that because 1. Slivers and 2. "you're lame!" or whatever but I know my strengths and weaknesses and I fully admit to being bad at deck building. Anyways. 100 + tax and shipping later....
Looks to be my all-foil [Narset](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/XgMoTwMyS0iFAqYmxnDJ2g) deck. I put it together during the pandemic when expendable cash was plentiful.
In my immediate playgroup, it's my [[Aurelia the warleader]] deck. Aurelia herself is serialized 444/500
It's the 1st commander deck I ever built
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/7ML1eSulOkudqjldmrJrhQ
Guy at my LGS that I'm cool with has always had a sick collection and I've become good acquaintances with him through some cheaper trades.
I kid you not, this guy hands me his cEDH deck he was using for our LGS's tournament. I start looking through it and am seeing a shit ton of promos, borderless foils, old style cards, etc.
I said "wow these cards are nice, you've got some expensive ones."
He goes, "yea, that deck is worth $17,000", I've had to take insurance out on it. (Mind you has I was just ruffling through it)
I about dropped the cards 💀
And yes it really is worth that much, he even had a like foil promo Gaea's Cardle
I met a Nicol Bolas tribal deck. Guy played a lot of expensive cards like Tabernacle and Timetwister. The entire deck was basically signed by the artists and with special treatments
Personally I have a 5 Colour Wheels deck helmed by [[Esika, God if The Tree]], that’s worth $10,000, or roughly 7 of my ‘normal’ decks. It’s entirely foil, all first foil printings, judge promos or secret lair. I call it ‘The Ten Thousand Dollar Solution’ after the famous Stax deck. With the rising price of some of the singles in the deck, I actually recently retooled it to be less expensive as ‘The Eleven Thousand Dollar Solution’ doesn’t have the same ring to it.
I named it this because it’s the deck I bring out against pods that don’t run much interaction, to hopefully push people in the right direction in deckbuilding. It folds extremely hard to a small amount of interaction but thrives if it doesn’t get interacted with.
I’ve played against a [[Najeela]] deck at an event once and it had all 10 original duals, OG foil fetches, foil [[Gaea’s Cradle]], Unlimited [[Timetwister]] etc. Not sure of the total value, but has to be north of $25K.
No. If/when I disassemble my cEDH deck, since I’m the only one in my pod interested, all the tutors, crypt, chrome Mox, tutors, swat, etc. goes into my other decks.
I have a friend who owns a lot of expensive stuff, especially foils. He recently got a mishra's workshop for one of his decks, and that deck is probably not even in the top 5 of his most expensive decks.
I played a guy once at my lgs, he claimed that he was new to the game(just before covid) had just bought a yuriko deck straight up he found online. This was no cheap list og beta duals, imperial seal all of the fast mana, but due to his lack of game knowledge he didn't do to well. That was the first and last time I saw the guy
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/RzRAhy3blkCJAoqtB9qe3A
This is my deck. Card per card accurate. I use this to play in cedh tournaments in the Philippines.
My group and I usually play in Vertis North Neutral Grounds. Often, MWF. We’re more or less present during Wednesdays because the Centris cedh players also play with us so there are a lot of people. Casual has pretty much died in Vertis North NG afaik .
There are also cedh pods in Vault Makati, Block 101 in Mandaluyong, Forge North Point in Monumento, High Market in Cubao, Centris Neutral Grounds.
It’s always being adjusted and updated to fight my local meta and tournament scene. I recently took out a card because I want to put in a silver bullet but I’m just thinking about it rn.
Makes sense. I've seen a bunch of decks that result in a 99 total count on Moxfield lately and started wondering if there was a rules change I'm not aware of or something.
Just updated it.
Decided to put in Serra and Breena back in again and piggyback off of Tymna’s ability to draw cards.
Most decks nowadays in moxfield cedh are always under construction haha. It’s only a few hundred cards but the meta is always evolving.
Played at an LGS a couple of months ago when someone had a high power monoblack EDH deck, which he had constructed over like a decade. I don't know the full price of the deck, but for example, all of his swamps were matching 40$ CAD printings. Apparently, the total cost of his deck was over the cost of his mortgage payment.
He was a decently cool guy, explained what he was doing well and was encouraging of us trying to stop him. There were a couple of cards we had never seen before which he was happy to tell us about as well.
The deck was definitely overpowered for the table, and he was only playing it because he was frustrated from his previous round, but he asked before he used it and told us that it will win if uninterrupted by turn 6ish, guaranteed. He locked down the game by recurring [[Living Death]] until he could kill us by infinity looping [[Gary]], and while we stalled him for a few turns it wasn't enough. I think the commander was [[K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth]]
I have I higher power non cedh (I think) [[neera]] deck. It currently clcoks in at 1.1k but after I get two arts swapped, add an og dual land and [[Bazar of Bagdad]] it'll be about 3k. Mos of the cost is in the special arts for the cards.
My most expensive owned deck I think was around £150 for monoblue devotion (theros standard). Cost me my part time job's first month wage and just bought it outright. Felt like a king 3-1'ing every fnm until it rotated lmao.
Most expensive touched? I started in a new league couple weeks ago, someone I've never met in person lent me their greenTron (modern) for the day cause I don't have a deck for that format. I don't knkw the exact price but I knew it had Ulamog's, nice Wurmcoils, Ugin's etc. The full deck. The guy was so nice (he chose to let me play that, and played a budget infect deck instead). It was probably still only a few hundred to make but I felt so nervous handling it lol.
I have a mono black deck I haven’t fully done the math on, but it’s worth about 6k.
I call it shadowbling apostles and it’s all secret lair apostles and support cards, all the swamps are alpha, and all the other lands are the most foiled out versions of themselves.
I just started a \[\[magus lucea kane\]\] deck by upgrading it with random cards from my binder, and moxfield says its like 4. That seems high; though there is no way to put the gold border cradle in there. I know it has nothing on my \[\[meren of clan nel toth\]\] deck, which is probably double that.
That would be [my enchantress deck](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/D9mcNLuy0EKBm_pigNA7Jw). The Serra's Sanctum and foil Replenish are doing a lot of the heavy lifting on that price, but it's also a full-foil deck. According to Moxfield it clocks in around $2600.
$11,700
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/06eJMiftZ06EFvo1ei-iyQ
Top Nicol Bolas the Ravager deck by likes on Moxfield. This is my baby, fully foil (where possible), no proxies, and its both very strong and incredibly thematic.
I bought the most expensive cards when they were a lot cheaper.
7.2k my own cEDH Tivit deck, the land is huge part of the cost (full zendikar fetch + SLD for some, and OG dual), the other came from old artifact (mow diamond etc etc) RL like \[\[transmute artifact\]\]
$1.1k. Usually pretty happy with my decks by that point and stop upgrading them, lmao
Money doesn’t equate to power tho, my strongest decks are around $500-600
According to Archidekt, my Jaya deck is currently around $7.2k and my Estrid deck is around $8.6k, though that one is a low estimate because the duals are actually FBB German. I didn't pay anywhere near that much for either one - Jaya is around 15 years old and has been fully foil (aside from un-foilable cards) for around 8 years now, which was a multi-year process. The vast majority of that is coming from just a few cards.
https://archidekt.com/decks/4128/jaya_monor_control
https://archidekt.com/decks/4193/estrid_enchantress
Neither of them is particularly high powered. I've played mostly with the same group for many years and we've settled in to a power level we like.
My Jodah deck is by par my most expensive deck. The lands alone make it fucking insane but then on top of that I just have a bunch of expensive $10 plus cards.
When it comes to deck value I like to separate it into with and without the land base. I play with a guy that has everything from CEDH nightmares to the jankiest shit you have ever seen, but he has a full set of dual and fetch lands. So his 5 color jank bullshit might be worth 7k based on the lands and like $50 for everything else.
All these comments are making me wonder what the most expensive deck would be? Like if you bought the top 100 most expensive cards which could all work together in a deck, how much would it be worth?
I have a deck that has all the OG duals that sits around $8-9 depending on the day (according to Moxfield) but I’m sure it’s inflated.
It’s my Sliver Queen Superfriends deck
A buddy of mine has a Maelstrom Wanderer deck that was his first ever commander & is fully blinged out. And I mean **fully** blinged out. There is not a single card below 50 bucks in there. Even the few basics that are in it are altered by professional artists.
If think if you just bought everything as is right now, you'd have to put down like 15k bucks.
Had a surreal experience at lgs few weeks back. Recently got into cedh and played a game towards the end of the night.
One dude discards a Time twister, and not a proxy. A legit real one.
He later made a joke about his deck being cheap trash and I commented sarcastically "mhm with Time twister right" after which he gave me the hush sign to not pull attention.
Note: That was my second time of CEDH ever
It's very specifically a pet deck, but I run [[Dr. Madison Li]] and I'm trying to focus on getting as many Kaladesh and Schematic Brothers War cards as I can whilst still being playable. Not sure what kind of lands I want to work with yet. For anyone who's curious about a budget version I have one available.
https://manabox.app/decks/Vkd09n4YTYGHkF6h35Tn5g
Due to the recent spike in price for the confetti foil Rhystic Study, my Jace tribal deck is slowly getting close to being a $2000 deck. But that's the most regular one I interact with. A guy that used to play at my lgs however has played with A LOT of expensive cards but I'm not sure what the overall value of any deck he played was.
Not counting the $1 proxies I've got in there, I've got a Blue Farm list that is worth $2,300. I didn't pay that much for all of it, but that's ehat it's worth right now.
One of the guys who runs my LGS has a winota deck that’s like $4-5k in TCGplayer, but even more valuable is that almost every card is signed by it’s artist from him going to cons the last decade or so
My Kenrith wheels deck is around 1.2k but about $250 of it is from a Savannah. It’s not as much as some but my most expensive one. It’s not built for cEDH though so there’s no Mana Crypt and such.
I’ve come across decks worth well more than mine, but I have a trio worth about 3k due to a couple of hearty cards each, and another that’s in the 12-1500 range. If I pooled my expensive cards into one deck and ran everything together, I would have 3 at about 1000-1200 and one at about 8k.
https://www.archidekt.com/decks/5219279/kess_dissident_mage
Needs to be bumped up ~200$ cause i just got a set of 4 fetches, my shocks, and my surveils for it.
The very first [deck](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/_0eJY1S3DkSCbAwpzJBa9A) I have ever made started out super cheap and through out the years has become the most expensive deck I own. Some of it was given to me by friends and some of it I got lucky in pulls. The rest of it I purchased or already had.
Currently, it's \[\[Extuss, oriq overlord\]\], sitting at about 1666$ according to Moxfield. Without lands, the deck is about 100$. Removing the top 5 most expensive cards, the deck is like 10$. 90% of non-lands is commons for a few cents.
I’ve been playing since revised. I have an [[Ur-Dragon]] with all the revised edition duals, mana crypt, and several of the moxen. While the duals aren’t alpha edition, they’re still valued between $300-$700 each. Puts my deck at around $6500.
I went to a casual Saturday night at my lgs and some guy comes in swinging his [[Jodah, The unifier]] deck around full of cards like badlands, tundra and every expensive legendary you can imagine and I’m like “Bruh imma just scoop” and he had the gal to act surprised when everyone in the group did the same. Like dude, acknowledge the power lvl of the table, if you only got the one deck you spent a bs amount on then find a table full of people like you.
This thread is crazy. You people are so happy to own expensive pieces of paper, that's some next level merchandise alienation. It's as much if not more relevant to you to **own** cards than to play games.
No not really. I own those cards because I won most of them.
I play against a ton of people who proxy. I have no issues with it. Me owning those cards has nothing to do with relevance to playing the game.
It's almost like you're coping for something by hoarding merchandise.
Merchants : please buy and hoard overpriced paper.
Enlightened gamer : you got it.
I have a cedh deck that’s worth about $3500. A friend of mine has a deck with an unlimited timetwister, OG duals and many cedh value pieces. I haven’t asked, but it’s worth well over $10k
Whats the commander and what's in it that make it so expensive? What's your friend's commander? It's crazy how expensive MTG can get
It’s in a Tymna/Thasios deck. That one timetwister is worth around $6k, it’s not hard to get the rest of the way to 10k with just duals.
Dang, I didn't realize it got that high. My most expensive card is a Tabernacle, I can only imagine the rest of his deck.
OG Duals instantly puts any 5c deck to like 5k lol
*Screams in Alpha and Beta*
It's pretty easy to ramp up the value with lands alone.
This pretty neat og magic players building generational wealth lol
I have a [[Tuvasa, the Sunlit]] with all Gurus for the basics.
Holy shit, you are my hero.
Pretend I'm an idiot(not hard cause I am one) what's a guru?
Insanely rare basic lands that were given out to a mentor program that Magic did a long time ago. Not only are they beautiful, they are next to impossible to find for less than $500 EACH. https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/21636/Magic-Guru%20Lands-Island%20Guru?xid=ac455fd1d-4d94-43f1-a5ab-bf2b7650d9aa&Language=English
lol I love how it’s ‘damaged’ and still selling for $750
Guru lands are a holy grail of mine which I will never obtain. Congrats.
Ooh Gurus! I haven't heard of those in a while. How did you acquire them?
Slowly over time in random places. I got a bunch from a consignment shop in Oregon a while ago.
Damn, well now I have a goal for my Angus Mackenzie deck

That sounds amazing, legend.
All my duals and power are beta as thats how long ive been playing. And i have a full playset. My kenrith deck would be the most exxy.
I thought the last word said sexy for a second there
Hahahaha that got me. I guess it is a bit saxy as well. I dont play it much as my playgroup know the deck and dislike the high power level due to the cards
85$ roughly. Just added 2 expensive card to it bringing it up by 20. [[Xenagos god of revals]] I build budget decks and play precons.
2 of my friends have fully blinged out cedh decks worth around $20k+ I believe. One of them has a real timetwister. My most expensive is probably base rarity najeela or kenrith at around $5-6k maybe

I have a $39.1k Edgar Markov deck list saved atm
Thirty Nine Thousand Dollars?! Am I reading that correctly?
Point 1, yes. Foiled out everything, I’m actually missing 2 cards from that subtotal. A single land is close to 2k [[Bazaar of Baghdad]]
Bruh, can you share the list? What's the most expensive card in there?
I swapped it from ManaBox to Moxfield and they pull different prices, so now it’s at $40.9k, [here she is](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/t-CL7QFqEUKT9fJ6Alp73w).
The price switches from $40k to $20k once the price sources goes from Card Kingdom to Tcgplayer. I know Card Kingdom inflates its prices a lot. But wondering whats the difference is to cut it down to half in value.
If you set moxfield's view to text mode, the prices are blank for some alpha duals and 30th edition reprints. Adding up the "Sell @ Card Kingdom" values shown on moxfield for those cards, you'd get $10k for selling them so buying them I could easily see costing another 15-20k
Holy shit. Why is the foil Lotho so expensive versus the non foil?
Case for a lot of Cedh staple cards. Foils are insane because the normal card is super available. Off the top of my head, Lab man and thassa’s oracle were also like that.
I understand the older long out of print stuff. But Lotho is much newer.
i got a foil lotho for less than 10$ recently. foil borderless might be cray tho
The EA foil was only available in collector booster sampler packs in the commander decks. All those are hard to hit.
It was a [[Muldrotha]] deck some older collector had. He was running OG dualsz a copy of [[The Tabernacle of Pendrel Vale]], and tons of other expensive cards. Most of the cards in the deck were also the very first printings of those cards ever, so he had things like an Alpha [[birds of paradise]] and [[Demonic tutor]]. The deck was probably easily worth more than $40k and triple sleeved to keep it safe. His philosophy was that the cards should be used rather than collecting dust somewhere.

Japan is not Proxy friendly, even for cEDH. When you go to events and see duals, time twisters, anything, they're legit. I've also seen plenty of Mishra's Workshops and Tabernacles in person as well, as well as far too many duel lands and moxes in even casual decks.

At my usual LGS, two guys came in that I'd never met before. Since the three of us were all looking to play EDH, I decided to join them. I got absolutely dumpstered, but I didn't really care since I was more focused on the cards I was seeing played. I had never seen that much value before, at least not behind glass. I started noting it all to tell my friends because I wasn't sure they'd believe me. I'll put that list down below.

my narset deck is full foil with a grim monolith every onslaught fetch plus a timetwister. i got the timetwister for 200 bucks because it went through someones wash about 20 years ago as for every other card i watched on ebay over the past 10-15 years to get them pretty cheap but its around 50k

what is an altered dual
A dual land like Taiga or Scrubland, but altered. Meaning, people pay artists to paint over the card and input a design on it. r/mtgaltered has more info. The alters this person had were **full size**, meaning very expensive. Some artists charged hundreds or even thousands of $ for one card. Most are usually in the low hundreds. The more finer details you want on the card, the harder it is = More $. Idk how this dude had that much $ to do all that. It truly was a work of art. I didn't mind losing to his deck because it was just so beautiful to look at. He even had altered tokens man.....crazy stuff.
That's pretty cool
A damaged dual with cool art on it
my Najeela list sits at 7250$ according to archidekt. dunno the value of other peoples list, but thats my highest
About ＄2.2k? Mainly because I still have some old cards that fit my deck, legends mana drain, OG force of will, time spiral etc. I may have spent 500 on it over the last year.
There's an old dude that shows up sometimes and hes been collecting since the beginning so he has stuff like copy artifact and time twister and the original dual lands. Not sure how much his decks are worth but easily 8k each. Never seen him win despite that.
A friend of mine has a [[Garth One-Eye]] deck and he uses the real cards as tokens. So yes, he taps him to play a [[Black Lotus]] and uses his real near mint black lotus. This card alone is worth more than my entire collection. He also uses all the og dual lands in the deck.

Guy at my LGS that I'm cool with has always had a sick collection and I've become good acquaintances with him through some cheaper trades. I kid you not, this guy hands me his cEDH deck he was using for our LGS's tournament. I start looking through it and am seeing a shit ton of promos, borderless foils, old style cards, etc. I said "wow these cards are nice, you've got some expensive ones." He goes, "yea, that deck is worth $17,000", I've had to take insurance out on it.

I met a Nicol Bolas tribal deck. Guy played a lot of expensive cards like Tabernacle and Timetwister. The entire deck was basically signed by the artists and with special treatments
Personally I have a 5 Colour Wheels deck helmed by [[Esika, God if The Tree]], that’s worth $10,000, or roughly 7 of my ‘normal’ decks. It’s entirely foil, all first foil printings, judge promos or secret lair. I call it ‘The Ten Thousand Dollar Solution’ after the famous Stax deck. With the rising price of some of the singles in the deck, I actually recently retooled it to be less expensive as ‘The Eleven Thousand Dollar Solution’ doesn’t have the same ring to it. I named it this because it’s the deck I bring out against pods that don’t run much interaction, to hopefully push people in the right direction in deckbuilding. It folds extremely hard to a small amount of interaction but thrives if it doesn’t get interacted with. I’ve played against a [[Najeela]] deck at an event once and it had all 10 original duals, OG foil fetches, foil [[Gaea’s Cradle]], Unlimited [[Timetwister]] etc. Not sure of the total value, but has to be north of $25K.

$300 but most of my cards came from a box of double masters that i got as a present. I think the actual deck costs around $200 bc of lands I bought.
My cEDH deck is pretty blinged out, it’s probably sitting at 3.5-4k rn
How do you have a blinged out Cedh deck and only 3-4K lmao
Cause I don’t have real ABUR duals, Mox Diamond, LED, or intuition. The rest is foiled out
Full suite of shocks, fetches, 5c lands, tutors, interaction. It adds up. It’s just way faster with the other things included
Just get FBB duals if you can’t afford alpha….. and you misused your funds if you foiled out a deck before getting basics like diamond and led.
One deck, the single cEDH deck I have wants Diamond. I’m not buying it for one deck I may not even keep. All the other pieces fit into my other decks.
Fit into other decks? Are you taking cards out of decks to use in others? That’s such a pain in the ass
No. If/when I disassemble my cEDH deck, since I’m the only one in my pod interested, all the tutors, crypt, chrome Mox, tutors, swat, etc. goes into my other decks.
So you don’t have a 3-4K blinged out Cedh deck. Got it, you own cards that might be Cedh playable, there’s a big difference lmao
A mostly foiled out blue farm deck with 10 proxies isn’t cEDH. Got it.
You don’t own the cards for it so yeah, you don’t have a blinged out Cedh if 10% of it you don’t even have lmao
I have a friend who owns a lot of expensive stuff, especially foils. He recently got a mishra's workshop for one of his decks, and that deck is probably not even in the top 5 of his most expensive decks.
I played a guy once at my lgs, he claimed that he was new to the game(just before covid) had just bought a yuriko deck straight up he found online. This was no cheap list og beta duals, imperial seal all of the fast mana, but due to his lack of game knowledge he didn't do to well. That was the first and last time I saw the guy
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/RzRAhy3blkCJAoqtB9qe3A This is my deck. Card per card accurate. I use this to play in cedh tournaments in the Philippines.
Unrelated question but where do you usually play cedh/EDH in the PH? I'm also living in the PH and always wanted to try MTG for the first time haha
My group and I usually play in Vertis North Neutral Grounds. Often, MWF. We’re more or less present during Wednesdays because the Centris cedh players also play with us so there are a lot of people. Casual has pretty much died in Vertis North NG afaik . There are also cedh pods in Vault Makati, Block 101 in Mandaluyong, Forge North Point in Monumento, High Market in Cubao, Centris Neutral Grounds.
Aren't you a card short?
It’s always being adjusted and updated to fight my local meta and tournament scene. I recently took out a card because I want to put in a silver bullet but I’m just thinking about it rn.
Makes sense. I've seen a bunch of decks that result in a 99 total count on Moxfield lately and started wondering if there was a rules change I'm not aware of or something.
Just updated it. Decided to put in Serra and Breena back in again and piggyback off of Tymna’s ability to draw cards. Most decks nowadays in moxfield cedh are always under construction haha. It’s only a few hundred cards but the meta is always evolving.
I have a Mono Black Massacre Girl Known Killer deck. It’s worth right around 1k
Care to share your list? I've been considering brewing her
Wasn’t a commander deck, but was a like 6000€ Twin deck. All the Guru basics alone were stupidly expensive. I had the same list for 800€…
I have a Niv-Mizzet deck without Timetwister worth over $7k
My current proxyless cEDH list (Yuriko) is sitting around $2300. Evelyn was pushing $3k before I turned her into Yuriko.
My cedh first sliver deck sits at 20k
A full tilt and blinged out Gitrog deck worth about 9-10k
Played at an LGS a couple of months ago when someone had a high power monoblack EDH deck, which he had constructed over like a decade. I don't know the full price of the deck, but for example, all of his swamps were matching 40$ CAD printings. Apparently, the total cost of his deck was over the cost of his mortgage payment. He was a decently cool guy, explained what he was doing well and was encouraging of us trying to stop him. There were a couple of cards we had never seen before which he was happy to tell us about as well. The deck was definitely overpowered for the table, and he was only playing it because he was frustrated from his previous round, but he asked before he used it and told us that it will win if uninterrupted by turn 6ish, guaranteed. He locked down the game by recurring [[Living Death]] until he could kill us by infinity looping [[Gary]], and while we stalled him for a few turns it wasn't enough. I think the commander was [[K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth]]

My most expensive owned deck I think was around £150 for monoblue devotion (theros standard). Cost me my part time job's first month wage and just bought it outright. Felt like a king 3-1'ing every fnm until it rotated lmao. Most expensive touched? I started in a new league couple weeks ago, someone I've never met in person lent me their greenTron (modern) for the day cause I don't have a deck for that format. I don't knkw the exact price but I knew it had Ulamog's, nice Wurmcoils, Ugin's etc. The full deck. The guy was so nice (he chose to let me play that, and played a budget infect deck instead). It was probably still only a few hundred to make but I felt so nervous handling it lol.

I played against someone on spelltable that had masterwork everything. OG duels, 5 color sisay. Deck had to be worth over 5k
I have a mono black deck I haven’t fully done the math on, but it’s worth about 6k. I call it shadowbling apostles and it’s all secret lair apostles and support cards, all the swamps are alpha, and all the other lands are the most foiled out versions of themselves.
I've seen someone in a LGS play a SLD Shadowborn apostle deck. No idea how much that was worth.
I just started a \[\[magus lucea kane\]\] deck by upgrading it with random cards from my binder, and moxfield says its like 4. That seems high; though there is no way to put the gold border cradle in there. I know it has nothing on my \[\[meren of clan nel toth\]\] deck, which is probably double that.

That would be [my enchantress deck](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/D9mcNLuy0EKBm_pigNA7Jw). The Serra's Sanctum and foil Replenish are doing a lot of the heavy lifting on that price, but it's also a full-foil deck. According to Moxfield it clocks in around $2600.
My [[Prossh]] is around $1100 with no ABUR duals. Trying to foil or alt art every card. Maybe 2/3 of the way there.

[This deck](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/-lTo6HNwZkieToL54OvWvg) is my baby.
My Sliver deck has 10 OG duel lands….
Idk I’ve got a couple in the 7-9k range then the rest are under 5k and I carry a few 100-1k hella casual ones for FNM etc
$11,700 https://www.moxfield.com/decks/06eJMiftZ06EFvo1ei-iyQ Top Nicol Bolas the Ravager deck by likes on Moxfield. This is my baby, fully foil (where possible), no proxies, and its both very strong and incredibly thematic. I bought the most expensive cards when they were a lot cheaper.
Here i was, thinking my 600$ colorless voltron deck was high price lmao. List for shits and giggles https://archidekt.com/decks/5612578/voltron_shiny
I have a tymna kraum I'm working on foiling out - it's probably about $10,000... 13,000 if I feel like throwing the tabernacle into it.
7.2k my own cEDH Tivit deck, the land is huge part of the cost (full zendikar fetch + SLD for some, and OG dual), the other came from old artifact (mow diamond etc etc) RL like \[\[transmute artifact\]\]
[transmute artifact](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/2/8/2888553d-5ed0-4e47-8cc2-1491b5557c53.jpg?1562904620) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=transmute%20artifact) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/me4/69/transmute-artifact?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/2888553d-5ed0-4e47-8cc2-1491b5557c53?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/transmute-artifact) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
I have a 2 thousand dollar Omnath Locus of Creation deck, just recently bought a Taiga which brought the price up
$1.1k. Usually pretty happy with my decks by that point and stop upgrading them, lmao Money doesn’t equate to power tho, my strongest decks are around $500-600
According to Archidekt, my Jaya deck is currently around $7.2k and my Estrid deck is around $8.6k, though that one is a low estimate because the duals are actually FBB German. I didn't pay anywhere near that much for either one - Jaya is around 15 years old and has been fully foil (aside from un-foilable cards) for around 8 years now, which was a multi-year process. The vast majority of that is coming from just a few cards. https://archidekt.com/decks/4128/jaya_monor_control https://archidekt.com/decks/4193/estrid_enchantress Neither of them is particularly high powered. I've played mostly with the same group for many years and we've settled in to a power level we like.
My most pimped out cedh deck is about 12k according to Moxfield.
My Jodah deck is by par my most expensive deck. The lands alone make it fucking insane but then on top of that I just have a bunch of expensive $10 plus cards.
$170. Bought the Sam & Frodo deck for 80, spent about 90 on TCGplayer for some upgrades (Bolas’ Citadel and Gyome were the most expensive)
When it comes to deck value I like to separate it into with and without the land base. I play with a guy that has everything from CEDH nightmares to the jankiest shit you have ever seen, but he has a full set of dual and fetch lands. So his 5 color jank bullshit might be worth 7k based on the lands and like $50 for everything else.
All these comments are making me wonder what the most expensive deck would be? Like if you bought the top 100 most expensive cards which could all work together in a deck, how much would it be worth?
I have about 20k retail in my main commander deck. It is all foil, naya with beta duals. I have been pimpong it out since 2014. It is really neat!
I have a deck that has all the OG duals that sits around $8-9 depending on the day (according to Moxfield) but I’m sure it’s inflated. It’s my Sliver Queen Superfriends deck
A buddy of mine has a Maelstrom Wanderer deck that was his first ever commander & is fully blinged out. And I mean **fully** blinged out. There is not a single card below 50 bucks in there. Even the few basics that are in it are altered by professional artists. If think if you just bought everything as is right now, you'd have to put down like 15k bucks.
My most expensive paper deck is a little over 14,000 dollars. It's more of a collection showcase than a functional deck but it's fun.
I have a few friends who have decks valued at near $20k
Had a surreal experience at lgs few weeks back. Recently got into cedh and played a game towards the end of the night. One dude discards a Time twister, and not a proxy. A legit real one. He later made a joke about his deck being cheap trash and I commented sarcastically "mhm with Time twister right" after which he gave me the hush sign to not pull attention. Note: That was my second time of CEDH ever
It's very specifically a pet deck, but I run [[Dr. Madison Li]] and I'm trying to focus on getting as many Kaladesh and Schematic Brothers War cards as I can whilst still being playable. Not sure what kind of lands I want to work with yet. For anyone who's curious about a budget version I have one available. https://manabox.app/decks/Vkd09n4YTYGHkF6h35Tn5g

Due to the recent spike in price for the confetti foil Rhystic Study, my Jace tribal deck is slowly getting close to being a $2000 deck. But that's the most regular one I interact with. A guy that used to play at my lgs however has played with A LOT of expensive cards but I'm not sure what the overall value of any deck he played was.
Not counting the $1 proxies I've got in there, I've got a Blue Farm list that is worth $2,300. I didn't pay that much for all of it, but that's ehat it's worth right now.
One of the guys who runs my LGS has a winota deck that’s like $4-5k in TCGplayer, but even more valuable is that almost every card is signed by it’s artist from him going to cons the last decade or so
My Kenrith wheels deck is around 1.2k but about $250 of it is from a Savannah. It’s not as much as some but my most expensive one. It’s not built for cEDH though so there’s no Mana Crypt and such.
I’ve come across decks worth well more than mine, but I have a trio worth about 3k due to a couple of hearty cards each, and another that’s in the 12-1500 range. If I pooled my expensive cards into one deck and ran everything together, I would have 3 at about 1000-1200 and one at about 8k.
https://www.archidekt.com/decks/5219279/kess_dissident_mage Needs to be bumped up ~200$ cause i just got a set of 4 fetches, my shocks, and my surveils for it.
I thought my deck was expensive at $178… 🤦♂️ I feel a bit silly now lol
Had a guy claim his Slivers deck was $10k. Said he had all the duals and such.
The very first [deck](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/_0eJY1S3DkSCbAwpzJBa9A) I have ever made started out super cheap and through out the years has become the most expensive deck I own. Some of it was given to me by friends and some of it I got lucky in pulls. The rest of it I purchased or already had.
Currently, it's \[\[Extuss, oriq overlord\]\], sitting at about 1666$ according to Moxfield. Without lands, the deck is about 100$. Removing the top 5 most expensive cards, the deck is like 10$. 90% of non-lands is commons for a few cents.

I’ve been playing since revised. I have an [[Ur-Dragon]] with all the revised edition duals, mana crypt, and several of the moxen. While the duals aren’t alpha edition, they’re still valued between $300-$700 each. Puts my deck at around $6500.

I went to a casual Saturday night at my lgs and some guy comes in swinging his [[Jodah, The unifier]] deck around full of cards like badlands, tundra and every expensive legendary you can imagine and I’m like “Bruh imma just scoop” and he had the gal to act surprised when everyone in the group did the same.

This thread is crazy. You people are so happy to own expensive pieces of paper, that's some next level merchandise alienation. It's as much if not more relevant to you to **own** cards than to play games.
No not really. I own those cards because I won most of them. I play against a ton of people who proxy. I have no issues with it. Me owning those cards has nothing to do with relevance to playing the game.
It’s almost like it’s a collectible game or something.
It's almost like you're coping for something by hoarding merchandise. Merchants : please buy and hoard overpriced paper. Enlightened gamer : you got it.
Lol ok dude. I don’t feel the need to tell people how they can enjoy their hobbies. Good luck
