Leagues don't exist anymore in that sense Bulldog.

Leagues are now just levels dictated by a score cap... in the old days, you would rent for a League Cap...

Now, you should be aiming to rent for the best value and that is exactly what this does... those with some skill will make it through to the higher leagues by renting the exact same cards as those who do not.

In fact - a collaboration with @bravetofu and some other guys with data from SplinterStats would be a great idea to create "New Player Card Sets"...

Create 25, 50, 75, 100 Cards "Rental Sets" designed and labeled New Player Rental Sets with the top 25, 50, etc cards priced at entry level Rent Prices...

Hell, I'd help with this any way I could. If we want to help bring in new players and welcome them, we shouldn't be trying to box them in to archaic Bronze League level caps... we should be aiming to give them the best bang for their DEC and show them that they can advance if they play well... and offer a relatively easy path forward.

But as for "affordable"... 50 Cards for 14 Days @ 1 DEC each is only $.50 and I think, as far as games go... that's pretty dang affordable.
