I'm not sayin',

But I'm just sayin'.

I'm not sure if anything in the Magic community bothers me more than whiny budget players. People using the terms Cashseize, Moneyvault and Dollargoyf annoy me to no end. I just wish I could shoot them through my USB port. I myself am a budget player, and I'm content with how I play the game. Yes, I do have chase rares and big-money playsets. I have a playset of Wraths, 9 pain lands, 3 Damnations, 2 Thoughtseizes, et. al. But get this: none of those cards are vital to any deck. Sure, they help out. But assuming that you're not on the way to a PTQ (in which case, quit your whining, the best deck does need money. Get over it, hobbies cost money, especially if you want to earn money, etc.) all of those are replaceable.

Arg. And even if you have budget constrictions, there are easy ways around it. It's really simple, and all upside: Play Limited! If you care about winning, getting better at limited pumps your DCI. Then, with your winnings, you can trade off for your money rares. That's basically how I did it. I win big, then traded big. Yes, I order singles. There's no reason for me not to, as the singles I order are within my budget. Also, people on budgets should realize the power in investing. You can usually see money rares coming from a mile away, and should gun for them at prerelease or release events. Also, buy things that you know will have stable value/use. Like the Pain Lands, for instance. They're perfectly reasonable, and they make any deck for them better.

And people who complain about stuff like this are basically scrubs. There is no reasonable argument you can give for whining about being on a budget, anyways. Magic is a freakin' hobby.

Hm, it seemed more elegant when I thought it up. I had better points, anyways.

I should get people to read this D:
