It's amazing to me that Affinity has jumped so much. Now, it would cost me more to get just the 4 mox opals than I spent on the entire deck a little more than a year ago.
Also, I agree with:

If we're "cutting no corners," then Mono Red Burn is not $100 because of fetches and Grim Lavamancers. You're also missing The Rock, which I think is up near the top.
Burn is not cheap if you optimize it to run B and/or W in addition to R.
It is similar to Junk Blade from Legacy. It has Bob, Discard, and some number of Baneslayer Angel, Lingering Souls, and Brimaz. The only reason I know this is because I messaged a PTQ winner who piloted this deck because I assumed it was BW Tokens, which it was not. The only similarities are discard and removal.
Thanks a lot for the explanation. I still wonder how they find names for some decks:rolleyes:

Does anybody know where the name came from? I know it originally came from a legacy deck, but their primer doesn't mention any history.
Edit: Nvm, just looked it up, the deck I found was around $240. I guess it went up quite a bit from when I bought it.
I'm really surprised at thee price jump in White Lifegain decks given how they've fallen by the wayside a bit in terms of tournament presence. I bought my entire Martyr Proc list only about a year and a half ago for about $120, and despite no-fetchlands it's in the 350-400 range now. I'm guessing a big casual demand?
I think that because most of the tier 1 modern decks are upwards of $500, newer players are looking into the "cheaper" decks like Soul Sisters. When everyone starts to buy up the pieces for these "cheap" decks, the prices. rise. I just checked and it looks like quite a few of these cards spiked or started rising around January 2013.

Jon Finkel and his collaborators were drinking Dead Guy Ale beer while they were brewing the deck. It's a BW aggro deck, not to be confused with BW Stoneblade, which is a control deck.

Oh that's awesome. I thought I was being clever by doing that while playing with the deck haha. Great beer; great deck.
Jesus Christ, why is hatebears 700 dollars? I got the entire deck last summer for under 200 dollars. (Minus the hereachs, only have 3). 60 dollars for a BOP with exalted stapled on is not sane.

I'm starting to think that someone at wotc has a lot of money tied into the secondary market. Either that, or they are a little disconnected from high prices(more likely). I mean, Hey, its a 40 dollar game piece, I only need 40 more. Magic makes warhammer looks cheap.
Aside note, it can be fun to see how fast the jund player can throw more money down on the table than the worth of your entire deck.

This guy gets it. Increased demand+ static supply = higher prices. It can make for some very strange fnms, when 50%+ of the field is all these budget decks, and the rest is teir 1 decks.

The fact that there are so many different decks in Modern, some of those cheaper decks actually have favorable matchups against some the more expensive decks, depending on the matchup.
please wizards, reprint noble hierach and fulminator mage!!
fulminator is not going to get reprinted for standard I would bet that much.
Also the modern version of deadguy ale is far from an aggro deck. If the legacy version is considered aggro then we need to be calling the modern version something else.

Fulminator Mage could definitely see a standard reprint. It costs three and you have to destroy a nonbasic, we have commons right now at 4 than can destroy any land. Fulminator Mage is only good in Modern because of the amount of manlands (looking at you Celestial Colonnade) and how fragile some of the land bases are (some Pod decks can be set back quite a bit by losing a land or two because you can deprive them of an entire color).

They're disconnected by the year or two they have to work ahead by. And it's definitely fun to kill the tarmogoyf that's worth more than your whole deck with a 50 cent removal spell.

We are the 1%
First Jund could get renamed into BG/x decks. BG Rock and Junk count as different decks but are basically in the same price range as Jund depending on the build.

And you could add RUG Twin to the list which costs ~1800 to build
