That's pretty cheap for an "expensive" hobby. Factoring in the sheer amount of time you spend on the hobby (which is the point of a hobby, namely, to eat up spare time), you'd also realize that you get a lot of bang for your buck in Magic. A PS3 game might occupy you for a week or two, while spending the same amount on singles could occupy you for a month or more. Of course, the time investment requirement can also be a drawback. If you have other hobbies that are affected by Magic (like me), you may have to choose which hobby to drop.
