Magic: the gathering.
There's several different styles of play known as "formats".
The Cheapest being "Standard". Which is the latest 3-5 sets released. The deck of 75 card deck can cost upwards of £500.
Then the most popular format, modern, which is the last 20ish years of release. The average deck there can be upwards of £1,500.
Then there's legacy and vintage where decks are in the high 4 figures and some even in the 5 figures.
I always felt like Modern was cheaper in the long run than Standard. Spending hundreds of dollars every few months on a new set didn’t speak to me. Whereas I could buy a few cards here and there to upgrade me modern decks.
I'd assume a lot of people sell/trade as the next set rotation is coming around no? I'm not sure how card economy works in magic but in yugioh today's meta is tomorrow's budget, surely there's people that want to buy in play in non rotating formats
