Reply to comment by oodelay in Loot box purchasing is associated with gambling and problem gambling when controlling for known psychological risk factors of gambling by AddictiveBehaviorLab

Sure, buying packs in hopes of getting specific cards is also gambling. The major reason this isnt an issue is that there's not that many MTG players who buy packs for a specific card. You buy a box to draft with and you buy specific cards on the secondary market.

That's not what i said at all, i agree it's also gambling and I'm pointing out why there's less of a big deal about TCG packs as there is about lootboxes.
