It's just a question of how you spend your time and money. Granted, some are more financialy draining than others... one of the reasons I play Duel Monsters anymore is that it doesn't require umpteen gazillion dollars to assemble a good deck. As for it being a POINTLESS waste... well... you have fun. That's the key part. Just like any other hobby. And believe me, the games can be quite fun. As long as the person watching doesn't have any anti-geek sentiment, you wouldn't believe how many people I've seen watch a game of magic and get interested because it looked really fun. And how on earth, if you understand baseball cards, can you not understand Magic? You can't DO anything with baseball cards. They just sit there. All they are are little pictures of baseball players with their current stats on them... you can get the pictures and stats anywhere on the internet, free. And the whole "They are worth money" line is bunk IMHO... 99 out of 100 people, or worse yet probably, never see a dime in profit from collecting baseball cards. In fact, most people sink lots of money IN to the hobby.  Deed... enough. Like someone else said, if you don't like it fine, but tons of people do. More than play other CCGs, probably. Apparently plenty of people are not "bored to tears". I wasn't.</blockquote>
