Honestly, the best thing in this game, if you ask me, is the economy.
There is only 1 currency shared between both transaction purchases and in game rewards, so you aren't left in a state of "Oh I only need X in game currency to buy Y thing I want right now, damn, better buy Z amount of [INSERT PREMIUM CURRENCY] here buy it, which is gonna cost me $24.99", you just buy the small amount you might need.
For the introduction of the game, at the very least when I started playing it, they have 3 1-time-purchase bundles that give you 10 packs + a heavily played stable cards, for less gems (Ingame currency) than the regular price of buying 10 packs - and on top of that there are some pretty good deals for if you DO want to buy some currency to kickstart your collection, that you can buy 3 times giving you a decent amount of gems at a heavy, HEAVY discount.
There's also the system where you can unlock the various "secret" packs that have a much smaller cardpool to pull from, so if you want cards from a particular archetype you want to try, you can just buy those packs and get a pretty decent chance of pulling some of the cards you want/need.
Unlock MTG Arena there is also a bloody dust/craft system, with each rarity having its own crafting currency. Dust 3 of a given rarity and you can craft 1 of that rarity that you want.
This is my first time playing Yu-Gi-Oh since I was a little kid and there was a craze about it in the public school days where no one ACTUALLY knew how to play the game right. Watched a bit of content from various dedicated creators, learned a bit about the mechanics/stables/meta. Found a deck I liked, crafted the core of it day 1 without spending a dime. Good fun
Good to see that the hearthpwn crowd are still absolutely fucking horrendous at evaluating cards and can't recognize strong cards when they stare straight at them.

Thank fucking god and good fucking riddance. They ruined standard for long enough.
I like shaman and I am excited for trying out a some sort of value shaman built around this and not hagatha
