Question 2 of 5

How much are you willing to spend to start a new TCG from zero?

🎯

Under AU$50 for my first purchase

I need to be able to play immediately on a tight start

🃏

AU$50 to AU$150 to get started properly

A starter deck plus some singles to upgrade it

📦

AU$150 to AU$400 to be immediately competitive

I want to play competitively from the start

💎

Whatever it takes to have the full collection

I want the premium versions and full sets

Question 3 of 5

How do you feel about buying singles instead of opening packs?

✅

Strongly prefer singles — I only want specific cards

Pack opening is wasteful on a tight budget

⚖️

Mix of both depending on the situation

Singles for key pieces, packs for the experience

📦

I open booster boxes and fill in the gaps with singles

The box opening experience is part of the hobby

🎉

I open everything — the pull experience is the point

Singles are for filling the collection after opening

Question 4 of 5

How do you feel when a card you own spikes in value?

😅

I immediately consider selling it to fund the next purchase

The profit matters more than keeping the card

🤔

I check if it's still in my deck first before deciding

If I need it, I keep it. If not, I sell.

📈

I track it on the market page and sell at the right time

I use price data to make the decision

🛑

I keep it — my collection doesn't get liquidated

The collection is not for sale

Playing a full game with a deck that cost under AU$50

Maximum fun per dollar is the goal

🤝

Having a competitive deck that holds its value

Smart spending that I don't regret

🏆

Winning at a local event with a well-built deck

The investment justified itself through results

😍

Completing a set or owning every alt-art version

The collection being complete is the win condition
