There's a lot of ways to play Magic competitively, going from Pauper which is one of the cheapest competitive formats with average deck price around $70 to Legacy where the average deck costs a few thousand.
These particular set of decks I built are should be in the "middle of the road" for competitive formats, with an average of ~$300-400 or so per deck asides from a couple outliers (MUD Stax is a pile of crazy expensive out-of-print cards). So building these boxes from scratch would be quite pricy. 🙂
However I already owned a ton of cards (I played multiple formats competitively for a decade) and I "financed" most new purchases by downsizing my collection and selling things I wasn't going to use anymore, so I didn't really spend that much money in this project.
Edit: Fun fact! I posted about this box on Twitter and it kinda blew up after being retweeted by a couple popular figures in the MTG world. Looks like a lot of people liked my little project.
Since we can't link to that website here I'll leave this image with the stats.
Oooh, nice! Congrats!
