Sometimes I play Magic the Gathering in the real world, with real cards, but I know just basics..basically basics :D but - it's a beautiful game and I think playing it real is much better than doing it on computer. In this case Reality wins :)

except for the part where you need to pour hundreds upon hundreds of dollars into it to be competitive and trust me I speak from experience.

I disagree with that, magic is such a cheap game

 

Warhammer you need to buy about a hundred models to give yourself decent tactical flexibilty required to fight against any race, and assuming you only want to play as 1 race. This would cost in the region of $500, and even then you would still be limited in your choice. PLus rulebooks and army books, which are updated way too freuqnelty, and every time they are the models are no longer tournament legal.

 

Magic the gathering can be played by buying a $30 deck, and customising it with $10 worth of commons and uncommons. I have decks made up purely from commons and uncommons and I wipe the floor with a friend who simply puts his rarest (and thus most mana intensive) cards in his deck with no thought for tactics.

I think it's a question of what you want to do with games. If aiming to be competitive, you need to spend. Otherwise there are entry levels options.
