Heh. I recall ages ago being told by friends that they were so into Magic: The Addiction that if I wanted to have anything to do for a while with them, I'd need a deck. So for the hell of it, I spent about $5 on a dime-store card dispenser which had randomly loaded five-card packs, and about another $5 on specific cards in the store's uncommon and rare inventory.
The result was a totally unpredictably random deck. If the cards went entirely my way, I could absolutely dominate a game. This happened maybe one time in eight. Every other time, I washed out early. But as a vehicle for getting me in conversation range with my friends, it wasn't a bad deal. I just never got hooked, and thus avoided spending any real money on it.

Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.
