Yup as the title says I am a total and complete muggle to this game and I am currently thinking about picking it up as a little side hobby.

The main questions I am asking myself are

1. does it make sense to enter it now that it was going on for a few years? Would I be at a disadvantage since I wasn't in since the beginning?

2. how much moneys are roughly required to start a healthy deck with hopes of winning stuff? And would I just buy full premade decks or do I have to search my own cards one by one?

3. is there a Wiki where this game is explained for the dumbest of dummies like me who can't even google and have to rely on people on reddit?

Yes I know I should google it myself but unfortunately I am VERY easily distraczed and I can learn the best by doing stuff. First learn WHAT to do and lateron WHY I do those things. But I am not sure how to start sooooo how and whrre would I learn what to do and how much to spend?

Edit: ogh yeah I flrgot to mention I completely am new to this sort of game... I so didn't play YuGiOh or Pokemon or any other of those games...
