It may not be great for you, as it's still a hyper competitive format that does rely on a lot of new cards. That's actually one of my favorite things about it. It's this weird format that is based around a lot of old, very powerful cards, like Lightning Bolt, Counterspell, and Brainstorm.. But then they're all held together by the weird janky modern commons of today which tend to not see Standard play because they were more designed as draft filler pieces. With that said, it is very affordable, as it's name suggests. Many of the new cards that see play are very cheap.. Often worth <$0.50/ea. Many of the "Expensive" staples tend to be some of those older cards that haven't seen many(or sometimes any) reprints, like Snuff Out which is around $6/ea I think these days. You can put together a deck capable of winning a local event for <$50 quite easily. There is a format that is currently gaining a lot of popularity however that may be right up your alley called Pre-Modern. It has the deck building restriction of cards from 4th edition, until the adoption of the "Modern" card frame. It's very popular, in part due to the love of the old border.</blockquote>
