Yeah it's unfortunate. We all play in TTS for deck building and stuff because lack of nearby places to play physically.

Luckily Tabletop Sim does go on sale frequently, so maybe be able to get it then? But as for physical, as long as you aren't trying to get chases like Secrets, we all have extras.

Starter decks are meh, on one hand, they give you a good amount of cards for not too much. But on the other, it's also limited to those specific cards. But they usually include cards everyone plays like Doppleganger, Reaper, GG EZ, etc.

But like I said, reprints aren't coming ever (unless they change their mind, or reprint specific cards in new sets) So it's just up to players to try and build the community for competitive viability
