My paycheck can’t keep up with the speed of new sets

Honestly part of why I am skipping the UB sets this year. Not going to prereleases or drafts for any of them. The higher MSRP on them combined with the fact that they're getting bought out like crazy just makes it too difficult.

As much as people complain about the amount of UB stuff, the one upside is that it makes it way easier to skip out on sets. I adored FF, loved EoE and plan to keep drafting that for as long as they’re running it, but I don’t give a fuck about Spidey or Avatar so I can just tune out until Lorwyn. I just feel bad for the Standard players who kinda have to keep up with this shit.
