Right now I'm starting Magic: The Gathering because the sets rotate MUCH slower and have more cards. It gives a lot more scope for decks, plus you get more cards per pack at a cheaper price. Some of the rarer cards still go for insane amounts but that doesn't mean they're OP. =]
Magic gets expensive, I wouldn't bother, Dreamborn's brother plays it competatively (Not sure if he still does in Korea since he's teaching) but he was one of the best in the UK, and he even said the cost of the game is stupid.
