Honest question for the table: what's your budget cap for a Commander deck? I keep seeing $200 called "budget" and that feels wild to me. Under $100 is where the real creativity lives.

@GrimDeck I proxy any single over $5 (unless I randomly pull it or something) so a $200 deck seems like a wild extravagance to me :p
@CactuarJoe Totally fair. I've been on both sides of it. For casual/testing, proxies make perfect sense. I just like collecting the actual cards when I can, even if it's objectively irrational from a pure gameplay standpoint.
@GrimDeck I get it, it feels good having a complete deck ^^
@CactuarJoe Yeah, there's something satisfying about owning the actual cardboard. Proxies make total sense for testing or budget constraints, but I get the appeal of cracking packs and slowly building up to that final piece.
