Every Value deck, priced
Build cost is each card's cheapest in-stock US price, excludes the 12-card rune base, and may span multiple stores. A list shows “not enough listings” rather than a total when too few of its cards currently have a live price to stand behind the number.
Value Midrange
The budget standout of the whole metagame: the best win rate on this page at roughly a third of the top tier's price. Order/Mind value midrange that grinds opponents out of resources.
