## Find a deck

- [Budget Commander decks](https://budgetbauble.com/budget): Complete deck estimates, including the commander and basic lands, with links to individual decklists.
- [Commander decks under $50](https://budgetbauble.com/budget/under-50): Full-deck budget, not a per-card limit; USD by default.
- [Decks by theme](https://budgetbauble.com/themes): Find tribes and strategies, then follow links to individual commanders.
- [Decks by set](https://budgetbauble.com/sets): Commanders and preconstructed decks grouped by set.
- [Precon upgrades](https://budgetbauble.com/precons): Additions, paired cuts, reasons, and upgraded lists. Upgrade prices cover additions only, not the sealed precon.
- [Booster comparisons](https://budgetbauble.com/boosters): Pack price versus estimated average and median contents value; not a guaranteed return.

## Methods and interpretation

- [Pricing and selection methodology](https://budgetbauble.com/pricing): Sources, card selection, price freshness, missing prices, and limitations.
- [Command Zone deck template](https://budgetbauble.com/command-zone-template): Role targets and a decklist checker.

USD prices use TCGplayer quotes via Scryfall; EUR prices use Cardmarket quotes via Scryfall. These are separate markets, not currency conversions. The default per-card cap is $2 (or €2). Prices exclude shipping and tax. Missing prices are not zero. Single-card quotes older than 24 hours are stale.

Deck match measures similarity to commonly played cards, not power or win rate. Generated lists and precon changes are suggestions to review, not playtested recommendations.

For a specific deck, follow its `/commanders/{slug}` or `/precons/{slug}` link and cite that page. Include the currency, per-card cap, and displayed quote date when reporting a price. Freshly retrieve prices rather than treating this guide as a price feed.
