Part of the problem with MTG physical is the constant need to buy new decks/cards if you want to get into it seriously. I dropped off around Eldrazi because of the power creep. I came back for a bit for Return to Ravnica and Innistrad and left again when WoTC started getting less creative or exciting with the new Blocks. It's fun to play for real but it's not worth the spend to keep up to relevancy, relegating your old cards to limited formats and with Wizard constantly going greed mode with new releases or rereleases that are format acceptable. It's honestly the best with friends who play casually and don't care about format rules, but that makes it so the most spendy/creative player usually wins so you might have to nerf your own decks or play suboptimally to play against your friends.
