>Reanimator I googled a list, and this looks like something I could actually throw together. I actually have some of the cards, like Elesh Norn and Iona, and I've built various reanimator decks in EDH quite extensively.
Next question, if I do sink like $2k into this deck, would it really be worth it? I'm a budget jank-master so it seems to run a little counterproductive to my instincts, but if it's fun and playable with other people, I'd be more than happy to set it up.
Is there a quality guide on building legacy doomsday? Do you still make a pile and labman yourself? I'm not as familiar with the extremely powerful removal in this format, so it seems a little... fragile for my liking.

You can run a budget Reanimator by going BR instead of UB. It'll save you plenty of money on the landbase. BR sacrifices durability and resilience for explosiveness, so if you're okay with that, go for BR. I think UB is around $2k but BR should be around $900 maximum.

>BR reanimator >$900 Sweet Moses Malone, that sounds perfect. Do you have a list I could look at? I could probably build that shit with my first pay cheque. Are there any other fun budget lists I should be aware of? I have pretty reasonable google-fu, but basically everything I find is around $2k to assemble.

While the Eternal Masters set + SCG stopping weekly Legacy coverage have caused prices for a few things to drop a bit, overall legacy is a pretty great investment. I have bought into and sold a few decks over the past 8 years or so, and never lost money. If you sink 2k into a deck now, in 2 years if you xecide to pick something else up, you should easily be able to cash out for at least that much, most likely more.
I will never understand people who come into Legacy and play stuff like Junk, Jund, or Maverick. This is a format where you can draw your whole deck turn 1, reanimate any creature with free counterspell backup, make 300 mana and Blue Suns Zenith someones while deck, get storm counts over 30, lock people out of playing magic, cast Armageddon, break suspend cards with Shardless Agent, play Dredge in all its glory, and so on, yet peeple want to drop $2k to play 2/1 First Strikers for 2 cmc and 4/5's for 4 cmc. Its like goimg to a buffet and just eating some oatmeal.
>play Parfait >utter silence No one has ever been intrigued by this deck.

Doomdsay in legacy (sometimes known as Doomsday Fetchland Tendrils or DDFT) is primarily a storm deck, with lab man as a backup plan. >is there a quality guide for ddft Well not really. The mtgsalvation primer is decent for a starting point but the deck is deep and it really just scratches the surface. There are whole forums dedicated to the deck if you'd like to sift through them. You can also take an existing list as a starting point and just play it and lose a lot until you start to get the hang of it. This is my baseline list: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/baseline-ddft/ >fragility It is nowhere near as fragile as it looks if you know what you're doing. In fact of all the storm variants it is arguaby the best at playing through hate. The tradeoff for this is a very slight speed decrease and a sharp increase in difficulty of play.
and yeah, 2k is about average price for most legacy decks. there are some cheaper things like burn. LED dredge is also very reasonable. I think eldrazi (currently a top deck) is right around 1k, possibly less depending on what deals you can find.
