{"ops":[{"insert":"I am a deck builder living on the US east coast, who got into Magic the Gathering in 2022. Since then I have enjoyed putting decks together. In many cases, I try to avoid going all out in terms of cost, usually aiming for decks that are under 200$ in price. I also try to build for a range of power levels due to the pod I play in similarly having decks with a range of power levels.\n\nI have brewed more decks than I have actually played, but I have a folder listing all of the decks I am using in real life. When I build decks in real life I get to test them more often such as at the LGS, which has the benefit of pitting them against all sorts of crazy strategies. I also will upgrade those decks over time so they can get more pricey than my typical budget.\n"}]}
