The important difference between a CCG and this game is that you know exactly how many boxes you need to buy to get a complete set. In MtG for example, you have no clue as to how many boxes you would need. In WI, you know you need three boxes of the core set. This means that you can budget how much the game is going to cost you. While it's not perfect, it's still a lot less expensive to buy all three copies of each card in WI than it would ever be to buy all four copies of a 'mythic rare' by acquiring boxes for MtG.
Fewer than 3 copies of a card in the core?
