How is it expensive? you get free decks. Also you can just use gift codes for the game to get tons of cards and wildcards to make your own decks

MTGA can certainly be expensive. However there are countless guides to show new players how to be exclusively F2P. These guides show how you can build up resources and card collection and how eventually you can go infinite. id suggest looking into drafting for collecting cards and utilizing starting decks and packs you are given.

It has the worst monetization system and card crafting system I've ever seen in ccg games

Just play f2p. I dont see a reason to drop high amounts of cash, while still having fun.

It's expensive if you want everything immediately.

If you are fine playing the same decks at the beginning, the starter decks are enough to do the dailies with. There are also about 30 booster worth of codes which is enough to get a few select rares/mythics to round out a deck to get to mythic with it.

If you can play well drafts will let you earn premium currency no problem and upgrade your collection.

I think the monetization is pretty fair and way better than irl magic.

If you are concerned about resale value, go buy stocks or apartments, i guess. I am not going to complain about the terrible resale value of something without resale value. >_>

I mean, it's a card game. If you have the cards that are stronger in the meta you're going to win more. What else is news?

Might I interest you in this digital-only CCG called Legions? It's set in the WH40k universe... and it's monetization and crafting are atrocious (fun game otherwise though). I suppose atrocious monetization also makes it truer to form given how the table-top game and GW is, so maybe it's just for immersion.

I play both, but MTGO is by far better its just an outdated software(quite frankly a terrible UI because MTGO team wanted to save money making their own version V4 instead of paying the company that designed V1-3 which is way worse than Version 3). Besides that MODO is better in every way.
