Well, if you want something, you actually have to invest money in it. But competitive VG only takes time, not money. TCG is the one that is a big money spender.
Sorry, dude, I'm studying for finals next week. I'm just checking on here because there is someone I need to battle over PlayTCG for the Auction Tournament and it seems he's not online yet. Our exams doesn't end until June 26. Sorry man.
