I had a similar problem a few years ago. I sunk a few hundred dollars into
MtG and had a very hard time keeping up with their quarterly updates.
Thus, I gave away (yes, GAVE) my several hundred dollar MtG collection.
Recently, I saw the MtG CD Rom game. I bought it. Why? Cause I can play
against the computer in an isolated environment without having to worry
about the computer picking up a bazillion starter packs that I don't know
anything about and can't design my deck around.
This has been the best solution I have ever seen (without just giving up
the game altogether).
