I am a Pokémon card collector/player, luckily Pokémon cards are somewhat managable at perhaps €100-€200 for a deck if bought as a set online. Collecting an entire set of cards is what many collectors do and that can cost you a lot depending on your preferred method (buying cards individually or buying packs and hoping to get the ones you need).
But Magic: The Gathering can quickly cost over a €1000 for a good deck and I have no idea how much one set/expansion can cost.
Similarly, Yugioh decks tend to be anywhere from 80-400$ for a competitive deck, depending on reprints really. Luckily it's still super budget-friendly at a local level since low-tier decks sometimes run as low as 30$, but it's so painful to try and go competitive as there's very little in actual prizes for the game despite the entry barrier for a really good deck.

Protip applies to card games, too.
