Like all good CCGs, if you get good enough you don't need to spend money on it. But you need to be like close to Beesa level.

well if i play standard i'm not kidding about it being expensive(i live in a 3rd world country with student allowance to spend with) also the only mtg shop here is very scarce of cards it's very hard to find cards some of the players aren't willing to trade or sell

well that'll change if i start working but i'm definitely not working just for mtg lol

Yeah, that is rough. There is always magic online, but that has its own set of flaws and costs. Or Topdeck Moba, which is totally acceptable.

seems like the secret to becoming a successful NA player is watch anime !

As Kupon has said: anime is the second greatest power in Dota only behind racism. EG is clearly top 2 anime and number 1 racist, therefore they are the best team in Dota now.

If you're really good at Magic or can predict how good new cards will be, do speculation on cards and trade, it's absolutely possible to consistently be turning profit on Magic without being a pro tour level competitor. That's still insanely hard, tho.

I have a bunch of friends who judge the Grand Prix and they all seem to be able to play for pretty much free. Of course they have to buy in for every draft, but they normally break even. Card speculation is another matter all together.

I expect by "break even" they mean that they get value in cards equal to their monetary outlay, which is very difficult to convert back into pure cash.

They still end up having invested into a collection which while valueable still constitutes spending money on the game. However, the transferable nature of the cards means that their value is extract-able after a fashion, which makes it a lot more reasonable than certain electronic-only competitors.

eh, good drafters that are breaking even/going infinite aren't really spending any money outside of their initial investment, which is barely anything (cost of a few packs). Obviously that relies on being much better than the competition though

it's like going 7 or more wins on average in arena in hearthstone

Exactly. Of course they spend a small amount of money and cherry pick the tournaments they decide to enter. But in generally they don't spend money on any drafting events with the small prize pots and knowing which cards to trade/sell.

warhammer is actually 2 universes
the basic warhammer aka fantasy setting
and warhammer40k aka the scifi setting
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

I generally like fantasy more than sci-fi but if 40k is indeed 3 '>' better, than I can always go Sci-fi.
