I make it a rule to only start inexpensive hobbies.

Once they have progressed, and I'm getting good at it, they turn to expensive hobbies.

This triggers the end of the hobby cycle and a new hobby is targeted.

    I just started magic the gathering as a hobby, lol

    My wallet feels this.

    Cheaper option: invent a time machine. Go back 30 years. Buy up all of the cardboard with the word Mox on them, and everything with a black border. Travel back to 2025. Sell cardboard and retire!

    Proxies. I have several full decks that are all fake cards printed from high quality proxy printing sites, ~$30-40 per 100 card commander deck, not sure how tariffs changed the cost, haven't ordered recently, but it was not a US based site. Obviously not legal in competitive play, but I only play casual amongst friends
