> Agreed that Limited is better. But it still costs money, yes? A new deck every time? The draft I play in charges $8 for three boosters. You get to keep the cards and you can easily sell your rares for >$8 most of the time if you want. $8 for an evening of entertainment isn't bad, cheaper than a movie. > My problem with M:TG is that the knowledge keeps turning over. It really doesn't though, it just changes form on the surface. The pillars of Magic are card advantage, speed, efficiency and a good mana curve. Those things apply universally, it really doesn't take long to get up on the new cards. In draft you are rarely going to make an elaborate deck, it's much more about bang for the buck (granted, this does mean you are missing out on a entire side of the game, but that's the side that requires money and time, so...) At most 3 expansions are legal at a time. I was a very serious/obsessed player in the 90's, now I am a very casual for fun player. All the cards I own fit easily in one tiny box. Draft/limited play really can be for fun and simple.
