You do not play for fun. You do it to inflict pain.

Recently started to get into MTG. Biggest problem I encountered is that you want to spend money sensibly, but you can't really grasp the idea of deck power before you play hundreds of games with different decks.

Because of it I can't build my own decks since I have no idea how to make them viable, and can't choose a strong deck online for the same reason. Precons are nice but even in casual setting they only get you so far

When I played, back when I was a late teen, I didn't generally care about winning so much as pulling off cool combos or winning in a stupid way. I just found cards that worked together.

Depends what your goal is. Like most games, if it's to win you have to get sweaty.

I liked how mtg let you get real creative to pull off a semi viable deck with insane mechanics, even if it was strictly worse than "the correct" way to play
