:suprised:

Even if people have the money, they usually don't bother, proxies is the way to go,

unless if u want to compete in official DCI sanctioned tournaments, in which case the cost of gaining the years of experience needed to do well is probably more than the cost of the cards anyways. (only for type 1 tourneys. type 2 is full of noobs, and anyone who knows not to play 5 colour decks can do alright)

Some of the tournaments here also allow proxies for the power 9, and some other expensive cards like bazaar of baghdad, mishra's workshop and stuff.

then again, if u are running the card ZiNgA BuRgA's Intervention, then the experience is not neccessary at all. Just mulliganning repeatedly untill u get it would beat most other type 1 decks.
