Totally agree with the OP. While this has not necessarily been the point of a thread, it has been stated in many threads.If you love the game, buy 2 base sets for sure. Even then, there are only going to be a couple of certain cards that you want.
Hand of Bim Shalla for example, you will only have 2 copies.
When it is all said and done, if you are crazy like me and some others that I know, you will likely want a couple of Tome 2 sets as well.
