Eh, you can buy a Commander precon and win games right now. The game is fine. My budget decks rack up plenty of wins. There’s actually a lot of fun to be had in finding cheap ways to do what the expensive decks do and building around undervalued cards. My Xyris deck is now kill on sight for anyone who’s ever played against it and it’s my cheapest deck by far.
MTG is very very different. I used to play with my group of friends around the release of 2nd edition. Mostly bought them from a comic store. It was picking up hype, but felt not so bloated as around 4th or 5th think I ducked out around then?
Was around when everyone was “you have to make a slivers deck!” what was that Tempest? Shit got too expensive and there were a lot of “you have to buy this card or buy this premade deck” displays showing up.
Also I was dumping all my funds into Warhammer 40k, I left TCG’s in the dust. Than eventually I left 40k because I needed my money to pay rent and live.
