A slight OT anecdotal - most of the best MtG players I personally knew are now stock brokers.

The game itself, meta-game and the entire ecosystem around it taught me a lot about value, perceived value, sales, psychology... I don't regret any of the thousands dollars spent on it more than a decade ago.



Zero sum games, taking prized possessions from your friends... you can do what you will.

I don't regret any of my money spent on my MTG cards, but not because it taught me skills to become a stock broker.


If dsirijus played at a higher level, his discussion of value is probably more about the value of a card in play, rather than its street price...
