Why is this a budget deck again?
A person said:Total price: $149.95
Quick question, what is your definition of a budget list? No leles? Under x dollars? Because it is possible to make a list with 2 leles (80$) for under 100 dollars. I’m asking because I have a delphox break list that might be considered budget even with leles cuz delphox is so cheap.
I’m wondering because I have two versions of the list (one with lele and one without)Under $100- $105 at max. Lele's cash value isn't really sitting at any one certain place, so I don't like having Leles' on my budget decks.
Example: Lele sat at a comfortable $43.00 for two weeks, then for no reason had a $10.00 price spike. (On: TCGPlayer.com)
Lele's pricing is highly un-predictable, so I don't want to have it be a liability on me to constantly replace it with something else. As long as the build can guarantee a price under $105.00 24/7 (at MAX) I'm fine with it.
It's mainly that when someone opens a budget deck spoiler and sees Lele, they'll think this is an un-reliable resource.
I mean, spending $40 on one card is a little ridic. You would just have to put a little disclaimer in your list saying that even though Lele is expensive the deck is still budget regardless, or something along those lines.

Without the shining mew, shining jirachi, and espeopn, its at $105.It's budget because there are optional cards you can replace to make it more budget friendly.
Such as-
Espeon EX (Though not listed as optional, it is)
Shining Mew
Shining Jirachi.
Some of the price is under the assumption you might already have 1 or 2 of the cards (1 EX, 1 GX, 2 GX, 1 EX, etc)
Without the shining mew, shining jirachi, and espeopn, its at $105.
Couldn't you run just 1 lele and have the rest of the deck under $50?
pretty much anything except for marshadowboxOn what deck?

1 empty space. You can use the extra spot to put in Tapu Lele,(Since this is pretty budgety anyway.) Note: Xurkitree GX is the priciest card in the deck so if you have it, or it can easily be traded for, than this deck is easily feasible.
