I got a buddy who runs a comic shop. I asked him about this 'cause of this game. He told me that he used to do that, but then stopped because it was WILDLY not worth it.

Yep.
I still remember an store owner who still had single cards on sell before year 2000, with the 1° pokemon cards.
Probably also other cards, much before I saw, likely Magic collections..

It's a risky thing, because HERE u will sell all, in real it's more difficoulty, especially with 50cents card (or less).

is it better to just buy the card individually for easier deck building ? like 50 cent for our much needed card rather than opening random pack ?

It depends on how competitive you are as a player. If you want the top level decks that can complete in the serious tournaments you'll be searching online for the few cards you want 4 of to complete a MTG decks. But if you largely play for fun then the excitement of opening the usual random pack is more than enough to maintain your interest.

Few of the people I know who play Magic: The Gathering on a regular basis will purchase single cards often. They do however purchase an entire box of the packs at a time to take advantage of certain bonuses that are often found when opening 36 packs at a time.
