derbrack. I dunno about "As for things like sol ring, it's so cheap there's no reason not to just get it from the LGS or tcgplayer if they don't have stock." By all means, support your local game stores. Go to events, buy sleeves and boxes, and snacks, and board games. But I'd never buy a $10,000 car, if the same one could be bought for $3,000 with the contingency that I could never bring it to the Indy 500.

Sol ring is $1.44. Assuming I buy a deck where the average card is $1, that's still a $100 deck. And I think that would be considered budget by most. Or I could pay $20 to print the cards on the back of some lands and suddenly I could play any 5 decks I'd ever want to play for the same cost as that budget deck.

God forbid I get tired of my $100 deck, I'm shit outta luck. I have a precon I've upgraded through the years and is now probably around $150. I don't play it anymore.

I much rather play my Tiamat, win by changing opponents' creature types and playing cards like King Suleiman (a $500 deck excluding lands)

Or my Rafiq, win by changing opponent's land color and then swinging in with a big Coiling Woodworm ($300 excluding lands)

Or my Bant reverse-voltron deck that wins by equipping my creatures with Spy Kit, and my opponent's creatures with Pariah's Shield ($300 excluding lands)

Or my Gabriel Angelfire deck that wins with cards like Jangling Automaton ($250 excluding lands)

And lands are expensive. I would argue that my $150 enhanced precon is more powerful than any of those. But dammit if those other decks are far more fun.

My deckbox hold 6 decks. By proxying, I can fill that deckbox with anything I want for the price of my one enhanced precon. Even if I had the disposable income to buy all of those decks in paper sans the lands, it would send me back $1500. The car I been driving for the past couple years is a $3000 manual-transmission burnt-orange Fiat 500 that drives like a jellybean and I love it.

Those purchases can't compare. I could make a 6-figure salary, and I'd still proxy. And I wouldn't care if anyone did too, so long as their cards are recognizable, and they're following the normal social conventions of playing to the power-level of your pod, communicating ahead of time, and not cheating.

If you're a pubstomper, I'm gonna avoid playing with you because you're a pubstomper, not because you proxied your whole deck.

If I can't proxy my King Suleiman and Sliver Overlord and Morophon, the Boundless for my Anti Tribal-Tribal Tribal deck then I wouldn't have and Anti Tribal-Tribal Tribal deck.

Truth is, it's a bad deck. It does cool stuff, but it's not cEDH by any means. If playing original dual lands makes it a bit better, it lets me play more cards like Floating-Dream Zubera and Dormant Sliver. I don't see how that could be bad or mean I lack creativity.

Budget does not breed creativity. It makes it difficult to express creativity.

Aladdin in particular is kind of pre-legendary, I think it would have been made Legendary today, probably along with King Suleiman and Ali from Cairo (although I'm sure more than one person in Cairo is named Ali).

Cevraya shows up in several flavor texts like Slime Molding, but doesn't seem to be developed as a character--maybe Glowspore Shaman?

There's at least two different people named Ennor on different planes, but one of them became a ghoul. I suspect the second Ennor means that the first Ennor won't get a card, despite having a simple storyline.

Outside of flavor texts, how many Worldslayers or Pearl Lake Ancients are there? No particular story reason to make them legendary, but a single lake can hold only so many giant monsters, and who makes more than one apocalypse sword?
