You might prefer FFG (Fantasy Flight Games) Living Card model. Effectively, each new set that comes out, you can buy a full play-set (it was 3x for Netrunner).

Unfortunately, it's just hard to compete with the gambli---er--addicti---er-- BOSTER PACK model of MtG.

(I've played MtG for 24 years, very much invested and sad that it's a LITERAL investment, see https://www.mtgstocks.com)
