At MTGRandom we define Casual Constructed as any format for which players construct decks out of the cards they happen to own or can easily obtain. Our group allows every Magic card ever printed, including silver-bordered ones, but we encourage each playgroup to make its own decisions about which cards to restrict or ban. The primary goal, after all, is for everyone to have fun.
Unless they pull X or Y out of a pack, most casual players have few, if any, opportunities to acquire more powerful and/or expensive cards, and even when they do, their wallets may not allow for it. Budget 101Â highlights our suggested substitutes for cards that are out of reach for one reason or another. If having fun is the point, then we need the right cards to build the best decks possible ...

    Both cycles of fetch lands have been reprinted twice; however, due both to their rarity and to the popularity of the Modern and Commander formats, they continue to garner a premium that many players can’t or wouldn’t pay. Luckily, two budget options are available for those who want to play something equivalent, if not quite as powerful.
Mirage (Fall 1996) included the allied fetches that inspired Onslaught’s cycle. They enter the battlefield tapped (rather than require a life payment), so they are one turn slower, but in most Casual formats, they are just as useful (and powerful) as their ONS cousins – even fetching nonbasic lands with basic land types. As important, they average $1.25 per copy.
Similarly, Shards of Alara's Panoramas can proxy Zendikar's enemy cycle. They cost to activate, find only basic lands, and put the fetched lands onto the battlefield tapped (rather than require a life payment), but again, the end result in most Casual formats is the same – especially since they also tap for , can be sacrificed immediately, and double as allied fetches. The Panoramas average $0.25 per copy.
