Game seems to be VERY VERY expensive, like 7$ a booster pack.

is buying cards a must?
how much is enough for a begginer?
are the starters worth it? like the fury of nature.

starting to really enjoy the game, but once i saw those prices. i dunno if it's worth it.

It is way easier to get crystal now than it was when I started playing. You could maybe count on 500 crystal a day. Now, with adventure mode, I've easily been getting 2k crystal a day. So is buying packs necessary? No. Is it recommended? Yes. To make a moderately competitive deck you will probably end up spending about 150k crystal. This is on the cheap side, and not ELO level. But, you are able to do fine in the level room and adventure mode.

Now, I'm assuming you don't want to grind for 75 days straight to get this mediocre deck, and I don't blame you. A very, very broad average for packs is about 10k crystal per pack. That average has gone up recently with their higher rate of playable rares being printed. In addition, certain guilds have a higher amount of high dollar cards than others. Sap Heart is trash for value whereas Zil and Noz have a ton of high value rares. Noz, right now, is most value per pack at regular price AND is 30% off right now. So if you are looking to buy packs in the next week, I can recommend Noz.

If you DON'T want to buy packs, you can increase your crystal income with the old buy low level chars sell them at max level. It is a lot of work, isn't much profit, and you have to do free fee'z offers for 120 fee'z every three weeks to be able to sell them. I did this for a while, and it doesn't take TOO much time, but it is very time consuming for how much money you make. If you are going for this low dollar slow build up I recommend to be a freaking COLLECTOR. Don't sell your old decks to make new ones, you'll almost always lose money and every crystal counts here.

Now I spend about ten bucks a month (fiveish on months with bad releases, fifteenish on months with good releases) on this game, have a decent win record (64%), and have, over the course of a year, gotten a reasonable sized collection. Yes, the packs are expensive compared to, say, Magic: The Gathering. But the card pool is much, much, smaller, and the size of decks is much, much, smaller, and the amount of essential cards per deck is much, much, cheaper.
