And what happens when the price of my deck spikes from one week to the next week?
Your deck would no longer be legal so it would have to be edited down to the price ceiling.
Although if this was something held weekly and casually I would allow some leeway in the price ceiling to accommodate individual card price fluctuations.
Essentially it would be a tournament of $70-$80 decks or a range of whatever your play group decides on.

I think it would just be far simpler to have a pauper tournament. A lot of people already have decks...it's got an established meta and ban list. Decks are cheap unless you run 4 chain lightning.

What you're proposing actually does exist on MTGO; it's called "Heirloom". The only difference is that instead of a total budget for your deck, they ban individual cards if their average value is over a certain amount of Tix (based on rarity; it's a sliding scale to accommodate the fact that Mythics are scarcer than Commons).

I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
Interesting idea. Do realize that it's not particularly amenable to already-established Legacy players, and that you couldn't sanction these tournaments.

That's where you write down decklists and lock the value of cards in for the sake of the tournament.
Not that Legacy cards tend to suddenly spike from week-to-week like you're suggesting. It's not Standard...
