If you mean digital card for magic online, then yes- they are almost always dramatically cheaper. The are about 4x cheaper in my experience.
If you mean buying paper cards from an online retailer, then not really. Sure, you can find some deals if you spend a lot of time shopping around, and you might be able to find an ebay deal, but you will generally not find prices that much different online than at a FLGS. Many brick and mortar shops use online guides to determine value, so the prices all come for the same sources.
Another useful number might be "Price without Mana Base". In a few decks much of the cost is the mana base, which skews the price for many long term players that are comming it to the format. Once you have collected some shocks, some fetches, and such the "cost" of the deck (as you have it listed) is pretty irrelevant. I have been playing for several years, so I have few shocks, and have finally collected all the Zen fetches, so when I am looking at a deck's price the number is not useful.
Note: I am talking about lands that are added so as to produce mana and fix colors. Manlands, even ones like Celestial Colonnade that produce two colors, and utility lands (scryng sheets, Grove of Burnwillows) are not included in the deck list to fix the mana base.
