Probably nearly 100 boxes of T2 for drafting purposes, though I probably only opened about 1/4-1/12 of the packs therein. I'd estimate my life spendings on MTG to be in the neighborhood of $5,000-$10,000. I don't regret a cent of that, as I've made many friends and have playsets + of all the legacy staples.

I used to buy booster packs, and then trade cards in order to get the ones I wanted.<BR/><BR/>However I remember, several years ago, I went out of my way once, and bought a bunch of cards from a guy : 4 Serendib Efreets (Revised edition, with the wrong color and picture) and a Word of Command (Unlimited edition) for a decent price (don't remember how much exactly, unfortunately.

Ov...Well, I've explicitly bought a number of cards. Over the course of a few orders, I bought at least one each of the current core-set duals, though they're all well-played old-style versions, and only paid about 4 bucks each for them. The most outrageous price I've paid, is probably Imperious Perfect, at 3 bucks each for a freaking uncommon, that the shop had over 200 in stock, so it wasn't a direct supply/demand driven price. But I only needed a couple to make the playset in my T2 Elf-ball deck (which is essentially my favorite deck in Forge, but I can play kodama's reach).<BR/><BR/>I can't imagine only owning so few cards. Once I was bitten by this bug, I threw a pack or two into the shopping cart everytime I'm at Target or Walmart. Magic came out while I was in high school, and there were a number of my friends in the SciFi club playing it. I didn't think it was going to last long.... I held out on the game until Mirrodin, when one of my current friends got back into it after a 4 year absence.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15178010996656985441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-889604442512373664.post-55912778215266273522008-07-19T13:23:00.000-07:002008-07-19T13:23:00.000-07:00I spend 10-20% of my annual income on MtG. ...but ...I spend 10-20% of my annual income on MtG. <BR/><BR/>...but I'm a alienated ascetic hermit (aka: homeless beach bum) and have an income of roughly $200 a year, depending on how much cash I find on the ground; I spend $20-$40 on cards every year and then I give the cards away a few weeks later when I realize I have no friends to play with, or much in the way of friends in general for that matter. <BR/><BR/>This year I got an Orzov Guildmage for 50 cents.
