Competitive where? At the LGS the weaker end of decks you are going to run into for standard are things like bunnies, boros burn, collectors cage, landfall, temur combo, roots, dimir tempo, mono white tokens, esper control, sultai control, and esper/dimir self bounce.
Most of these decks are still expensive because any mythic play piece right now is expensive and deck defining.
Many playable uncommons like stock up and boltwave are multiple dollars a pop.
Most of these decks are using play pieces that are printed for commander or other eternal formats that keep prices high.
The land base in standard is crazy expensive. All of the uncommon lands are tap lands that cause you to die on the spot to aggro decks since standard is a turn 3-4 format and the land base is largely coming from either shock lands that are expensive as they are good in nearly every format, verges that are underprinted, and starting town/multiversal that are underprinted.
