I have never had this problem. So far I have spent just under $300 on
MTG (about 1/3 of what I have spent between SR and Battletech) and
that is only because my original $180 set was stolen out of my car and
I needed to replace it. Can I beat the guys who have spent $10,000
(yes I know a few who did) on their sets every time. No, but I do
manage to beat them about 40% of the Time. My problem with the game is
that I can't find anyone to play with now. All of my friends got the
addiction and then got over it and now they won't play because they
are afraid that they will become re addicted.
