I want to dip into that, but I'm kind of afraid of dumping too much in a ccg. Would a starter and a couple boosters be a good investment?

People are talking a lot about how much easier it is to get into this because you only need 30 cards for a deck and there's a limit of 2 per card, but you have to keep in mind that the card pool is effectively split in half since most cards are either Villain or Hero cards (and a deck can only be one or the other) and there are only 5 cards in a booster pack. Also, the starter decks aren't "complete" decks: they're only about 20 points worth of characters (out of a normal 30) and 20 cards.

Thanks, that's actually news to me. I didn't realize cards had hero or villain on them on the bottom of the card.

Yeah, it's not that it's bad, I actually like working with the asymmetric card pools, I just don't want anyone to be fooled into thinking that this is going to be the CCG for budget-conscious people. LCG's still fill that niche, as long as you get in early.

They've mentioned they plan something like 3 sets a year of equivalent size to Awakenings, but nothing about rotation yet. I wouldn't doubt rotation, though.
