I'm amazed that no one has replied to this one. As someone who does collect trading cards, I got tired of relying on RNG to get a certain card, so guess what I did. I bought a single online. For like the same price as a booster pack, I bought the exact card I wanted. Yeah, I had to reply to this one, too. >.> Because if booster packs = loot boxes....yeah. Buying random packs DOES get old and if there's one shiny card I really want, Im not gonna spend $150 on packs hoping to get it. I'm gonna spend $10 on the card itself. Take that as you will, if someone wants to make that comparison.My husband and I love to play Magic the Gathering. And we never buy booster packs. We buy the cards we want on the flea market or online at ebay or whatever. I only play white decks, and I only buy white cards.
