Okay, those are all good perspectives and solid advice.
I used to play a lot. Played in a few Pro Tours and won a State Champ (humble brags - ha xD), but haven't played, aside from a draft here and there, since 2013, really.
Back in the day I had every deck. Jund was my favorite, followed closely by Jeskai Control. I also enjoyed Affinity a bit.
So, I have played quite a bit, and have some experience with the decks. I'd probably just get Jund, because I love that style of play, but it's looking near $2k, which is about double my current budget.
So, just trying to get some info and figure out what people who are knowledgeable about the current meta and finance trends about how to ease back into the game.
I know that prices can change at any time and nothing is certain, so with those things already in mind, which deck would you buy if you were just getting into Modern today?
The two criteria I’d like to focus on being: 1) competitive enough to win if played well, and 2) knowing what sets are coming out in the near future, and your own speculation on reprints, the deck with the most cards that have the highest likelihood of maintaining value over the next year, being paramount in the consideration.

Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate it!
