A friend tried to get me into Magic, but the cards are absurdly overpriced. It's impossible to make a playable deck without dropping an upward of $100 on mana and other card dependencies.
For instance, I bought a random assortment of cards from eBay and there were a few copies of Bayou Dragonfly. The land that it needs (a Bayou) goes for $60+! $60 just to play such a weak card.
I bought a few booster packs from Walmart hoping they might have some of the dependencies I'd need, but they didn't. What's the logic in printing maybe a few hundred instances of mana cards when cards like Bayou Dragonfly are so common?

I don't follow. You seem to think that you need a Bayou to play the card in the OP image, but it clearly requires only 1 green and 1 any mana, which can be produced by a Forest and any other land.
Are you just pretending to be ignorant, or do you legitimately not know how to play?

Not a magic player, but I would just make proxy cards at that point.

Nigga buy the cheapest 80% of the cards of the deck for 30 bucks. If its a playgroup, proxy the rest and fuck dropping coin. They know you're new and should cut you slack.

I-is that the punchline OP?

This. You can pick up most decks on the cheap, with format staples costing the cheddar.
If your mtg store is worthwhile, they'll have good shit to buy as singles. Learn to git gud at draft to build up store credit to buy the singles you need. If they don't have singles, go with sleeves, playmats and other assorted supplies that you need.
Also, save your chase rares that you draft to sell off or trade. MTG is a game more about jewing than anything else

Yes.
/tg/ is too autistic to realize this.

Excellent trolling.

That's the problem with dragonflies in general, too damn expensive.
You gotta do something cheap like kobolds.

Bayou is worth more than $60 by a lot
Magic is a hobby not a simple game you can pick up for a few hours and then forget about. If you want to get into it play cheaper formats, you can buy a pre constructed edh deck for $40. Start from there and work your way up. Worst case scenario, just play edh and modify your deck as you go.
