I just went to deckstats.net and plugged in my decklists to see what they were worth. I understand that this site pulls the low-end price for each including the lowest priced version. And of course, doesn't figure in "bling", but I don't go for that anyway.
** You can upload your deck from MWS or paste from text and it will calculate automatically.
And besides values, it gives you mana curve and breakdowns. It's pretty handy really.
Actual amount I paid for the cards in the deck is probably quite a bit lower than that site comes up with too, as I'm a serious cheapskate and look for good deals/trades.
Here was what I got for my decks:
Dralnu - $140.66
Ghost Council - $268.89
Grand Arbiter - $136.68 (still got a couple proxies)
Savra - $187.48
Sharuum - $149.26
All in all, not too bad. Beats the heck out of what a good T2 deck costs!
My only deck is Karn, Silver Golem, and my trade binder has been funnelled into trading for cards for it to the point where I have like 40 dollars left of cards in the binder. I've got a fair number of expensive foils, like grim monolith, in addition to a NM Workshop and a NM Tabernacle. The deck clocked somewhere over 1k.

Funny, it has no idea what Future Sight costs. It gives a "?".
Seems like lands (no volcanic island for me ), SoFI and manafacts make up the bulk of the cost. Good thing I got cards like Bribery and Treachery when they were worth half of what they are now...
My Wort, the Raidmother deck is worth ~$177
My Rasputin Dreamweaver deck is worth ~$245
My Eight-and-a-Half-Tails deck is worth ~$137
I cant really price my karador ghost chieftain deck since he doesn't exist yet.
I was surprised by the value since I didnt spend nearly that much building them.
Scion 1250ish (beta timetwister, 10xduel/fetch/shock lands, mana drain)
Jenara 400 (jace 2.0 and mostly the land again)
Clique 200 (mana drain)
I would note that most of my spendy stuff came out of packs 15 years ago and was shuffled without sleeves. Sadly multi color land bases add up fast but man it is night and day difference having fetch/duels/shocks.
My other decks are largely pimped, so I really can't be bothered to figure out their actual value with MOTL. I fear that Dralnu would probably be in the same vicinity, though.
As you can see, the difference in prices here is amazing. My decks average 60$ more taking european prices. I don't really understand, if an € is worth more than a $ how come the same cards cost so ☺☺☺☺ing much more here?
I thought the site would do a straight conversion from dollars to euros... that's weird. Your Rith deck alone is 75% higher.
Chainer - 581$ - It's almost foiled out though : )
Arcanis - 581$ - Wow Creepy, Both my deck costs about the same xD!
Progenitus - 2120$ - This is filled with alters so the value might fluctuate a bit ^^,. But there is still a lot of foils and duals etc in here : )
Cards in Europe seem to cost a bit more, probably because of slightly lower availability and demand, especially in the case of the cheaper cards. Highly desirable cards like Jace, the Mind Sculptor are roughly equal in value on both sides of the pond.
Ashling-assuming you pay double for foils $240.06
Lorthos $122.35
Lu Bu... $78.49
Radha $84.70-only an estimate as I've misplaced the deckbox with half the deck in. It is however nearly the same as BlackLeadAlchemist's deck with a few cards different.
A grand total in English of £333.70. Thinking back... I think that's actually pretty accurate.
EDH, on the other hand, is more like a monster truck rally. It's more about the spectacle than the race, the games go long, and it's not usually clear who's in the lead until there's only one truck left.*
Single player EDH is like two guys smacking each other with pillows... until one of them pulls out a shotgun.
The deckstats.net thing is cool, but inaccurate if you have anything besides nm nonfoil cards in your deck. For example, I put my Teneb deck in and got $534.02. However, my Teneb deck is 67% foil, with many promos, so according to Starcitygames it's worth $956.26. I know the latter is probably slightly inflated, but that's the price I'm going to go with because it actually accounts for the specific versions of the cards I own.
My other decks don't have as many foils, so I'll just use deckstats as a rough estimate to save myself some tedious searching on Starcitygames:
Mayael - $218.94
Sharuum - $516.68 (This deck has a fair number of foils too, so it's probably off by maybe $100)
Xira - $311.23
Momir - $236.94
Brion - $238.99
So altogether I have about $2500 worth of EDH decks. That seems high, but considering that it includes most of my collection's total value, it's not that bad.

EDH Decks:

Gaddock Teeg -- $222.38
Rasputin Dreamweaver -- $169.04
Squee, Goblin Nabob -- $123.26
Spirit of the Night -- $242.82
The figure for Rasputin really surprised me; I figured it would be much higher.
But yeah, like Blackjack said, my EDH decks typically cost me $40-$50. I wish I could find someone who would buy them for these prices.
