Ya, formats have a lot of influence over cards. I bought a card for 15$ and it shot up to ~50, it’s gonna drop soon because it will probably get limited in the next ban list... mtg tends to hold more monetary value because the makers limit how much cards actually go into circulation which can be good to collectors and ppl who want to make money off it, but bad for players... yugioh makers tend to just put a lot of cards into circulation so it’s relatively affordable and if they see something is out of price for the average consumer they’ll reprint it after a year or 5.
The issue I have w/ Magic’s format is the rotation... the fact that you HAVE to build a new deck irks me... competitive decks range from 200-600$ and having dish out that much money each rotation is dumb.
Yeah MTG from a competitive standpoint is a dick measuring contests. and by the time single card prices are reasonable the rotation is 3/4 done.
I like casual EDH format play because there's almost zero banned cards and you can play from 1 to 5 color, completely open format. My wife plays a mono green elf deck with only creatures. There's 1 board wipe but other than that it's all elf creatures, it should be a shit deck but she has won games before.
