I recommend trying these different kind of Magic once youre confident in the rules to figure out which you like best
If you chase value per pack , buy boxes or bundles rather than single packs and consider Japanese boxes, which often cost less per box than English while reaching new sets first
Instead of trying to complete massive Pokdex collections, or master setting a whole collection, you can focus on smaller themes like birds, fossils, insects, plants, or rocks and minerals
For instance, Umbreon ex has an attack costing one Darkness, one Lightning, and one Psychic energy, while its counterpart Espeon attacks with Grass, Psychic, and Darkness energy
Grading services also authenticate your cards, so if you stumble across a rare and valuable Pokmon card for a low price, you can make sure it's not a fake before trying to sell or trade it
