The big question is whether an $80 deck can actually compete in a $3,000-deck format. As such, today, as we wait to start exploring Ikoria Standard next week, we're doing something that we've rarely done on Budget Magic: playing a Legacy deck! Today's deck is an $80 version of Mono-Red Prowess, which, if it's actually competitive, seems like the perfect starter deck for new Legacy players on Magic Online or in paper. While Legacy is much cheaper on Magic Online than it is in the paper world (mostly because there isn't a Reserved List on Magic Online, so cards like dual lands can and have been reprinted multiple times), it's still not a cheap format.

Ola, Budget Magic lovers, it's that time once again! Thanks to the pandemic keeping people at home, there has been an explosion of interest in Magic Online as a way for players to keep enjoying eternal formats from the comfort of their own homes.
