As a bonafide Magic Junkie, I can agree with both of you. However
Roleplaying out your deck can get really weird. Lots of cash does not
equal a tough deck, most of the skill in magic is in deck construction,
and it is quite possible to build a very good deck with few or no Ultra
rare out of print super expensive cards.
