Cheapskate Format
- Minimum deck size: 60 cards
- No more than 4 copies of any card, except basic lands
- Cards can be of any rarity
- The legal card list is updated every 4 months based on the following Scryfall search:
f:vintage ((r:c eur<0.05) or (r:u eur<=0.15) or ((r:r or r:m) eur<=0.5))
Based on Heirloom but with paper prices.
The periodic updates to legality would help keep the format fresh if it gained enough popularity to affect card prices. Unlike Pauper where some “budget” decks still cost $60+, this format should have genuinely cheap decks thanks to the rolling card pool.
This is great, I just want to throw out that MTG Online has “Penny Dreadful” as a format:
I like your idea a lot! I would certainly play this a ton.
Penny Dreadful is such a fun format. Never have time to play mtgo anymore but that is by far my most played format on there
