lol, sorta but not like i have had to do in the past for some items i wanted thats for sure!! Honestly tho card prices are always high but i do well enough buying and winning packs that im able to curb my cost on acquisition. for instance i judge two store set championships each set that helps me buy a new case when the next set releases. Then weekly i play in a locals for about 10 bucks, i normally make top cut and earn $30 that i either put in store credit or get packs depending how many boxes i've opened so far.
There are ways to play without having a huge cost. some deck combinations are just as good but are under $150 in price.
