This month's deck is the tournament winning deck "
Broken Brujahs" played by
Martin Major. Basicially it is an "
Alastor" deck, but has access to alternate damage sources ("
Heroic Might" & "
Preternatural Strength") and a strong bloat component with the 7 "
Vessels" and the
Dminitra's special ability.

Wow, is it any shock that a deck that had a number of high value and high power rare cards came out on top? The cards making up the 10 actions are exceptionally rare and come out to be approximately USD210 on the secondary market. Throw in the Heart and you're looking at approximately USD230. This is definitely not a deck your average player can even hope to ever be able to build.
Yes, today and with that list the deck is expensive if you want/need to buy from the secondary market.
But there are two things to consider:
1. High priced cards often are reprinted, like "War Ghoul" or "Jake Washington". Unfortunately this hasn't been done (yet) to some of the cards in the list like "Heroic Might" or "Parity Shift". But this is a matter of time IMHO.
2. The deck can be cut down to 70 to 75 cards, removing some of the expensive copies, without making the deck any worse. Here's a 70 card version of deck (the only addition I made was adding four Ashur Tablets for recursion):

As the designer of the deck I have to admit, that I couldn't afford those cards either. Fortunately our playgroup is pretty big and I could borrow the cards I needed (3x Preternatural, 2x Heroic Might).
