What decks cost

The median deck costs $391.

Half of these decks cost more than $391. 21% cost over $1,000 and 3% come in under $50.

These decks were built, tuned and run through a rating engine before they were uploaded, so the sample leans toward optimized lists rather than kitchen-table ones.

Price by power level

A power 8 deck costs about 11× what a power 4 deck costs.

A power 8 deck runs a median $1,982. A power 4 deck runs $185, so power 8 costs about 11 times as much.

The thinnest power bands, each under five thousand decks, are left off so a handful of decks do not distort the medians.
