This is true. But what happens is newbies don't take the time to learn the
intricacies of the existing cheap cards and wow!! over the old stuff that is
worth a lot. Point and case, I created by way of a joke, a green cheap deck,
the hole deck being worth less than 10 dollars and made of all commons and a
couple of really cheap uncommons. I never lost a game with it and played
against numerous decks with single cards worth more than that whole deck.
but anyway wrong listing for this.
see ya,
