Budget Modern Ruby Storm Performance

1 requestsStarted 9/17/2025, 8:27:26 PM
What is the deck in the actual modern metagame with the best performances in proportion of its price value in real life ?

I'll analyze the current Modern metagame to find decks with the best performance relative to their real-world price. Let me start by getting the recent meta data.

Now let me get some sources to support this analysis:

I need to clarify something important: I don't have access to real-world card prices in my tournament database. My analysis focuses purely on tournament performance data (winrates, presence, etc.).

However, I can identify the highest-performing budget-friendly archetypes based on what are generally known to be lower-cost decks in Modern:

Top Budget-Friendly Performers (July-September 2025):

1. Ruby Storm - 53.21% winrate (3.09% meta share)

  • Excellent performance with relatively low presence
  • Historically one of the most budget-friendly competitive decks

2. Blue Belcher - 52.9% winrate (4.58% meta share)

  • Strong winrate with moderate presence
  • Generally requires fewer expensive cards than tier 1 decks

3. Esper Blink - 52.33% winrate (7.04% meta share)

  • Solid performance with good representation
  • Blink shells can be built on various budgets

4. Azorius Control - 52.21% winrate (2.92% meta share)

  • Good performance, lower presence
  • Control decks vary widely in price depending on build

The Ruby Storm deck stands out as having the highest winrate among typically budget-friendly options, though its 3.09% meta presence suggests it's still a niche choice.

For accurate price analysis, you'd need to cross-reference these performance results with current card prices from sources like MTGGoldfish or TCGPlayer.
