Don't worry, you aren't missing much. And it's a more expensive habit than cocaine.
$4 for 10 cards.
You need 60 cards to make a deck
There are about 10 different types of energy that pokemon need to do things.
They each need different energy to attack/retreat.
You can see that this alone means that it's going to
really expensive to build even a basic deck.
After that, it'll cost more and more to make your deck better, since the better cards are more rare so appear less often.
It's business genius, and I take my hat off to the inventor.
