I'm sure all the old cards have been power creeped into obsolescence, yeah?
Not really. Cards are often reprinted into new sets, meaning that select older cards are still modern legal. Most of the cards in the deck I'm building were initially released around 2003, some going as far back as 1997.
Oh, cool. That's usually an unavoidable thing, because there's typically only so many ideas you can come up with--so OP strategies become the easiest to think of, and the easiest to sell.
Have you been playing for awhile, or are you just getting into it?
I've been playing for a few months, but casual play. I'm just getting into the competitive scene. There are certain kinds of decks that tend to dominate, such as Jund, Living End, Affinity, Burn, and Infect. The key there is that they all (except Jund) have decks that counter them and they aren't just a specific set of cards. A deck type is built around a common idea. Living End, for example, cycles cards into the graveyard. The player continuously cycles until they have a lot of creatures in the graveyard. They play a card called Living End that destroys all creatures (both players) on the field and moves all creatures from the graveyard (both players) to the field. This means that, in 4 turns, they can play a dozen creatures. The only things that the deck requires are Living End and a lot of creatures with cycle abilities. You can freely optimize and customize within those parameters.

Things post-Revised tend to have trade-offs for huge amounts of power.

Because there are thousands upon thousands of MTG cards and a deck probably 15 of those in duplicates and quadriplicates. If I want a Cryptic Command, I'm not going to dump money on mystery boxes or boosters. The chances of getting one that way is astronomically low, especially from boosters (1 card per pack is a rare, CC is rare even as a rare).
I'd buy a box for EDH, but Modern requires very precise strategies.
there's not thousands and thousands of cards per set, though
there's 301 for the set your card is in, so your odds are low, but they're not that low
the real reason you wouldn't by a box is holy shit they're way more expensive than i thought they'd be
It's not like it's a 1 in 249 chance, though. There are a 61 rares in MM15, and only one rare per booster. There is a 0.0000000001% chance of me pulling for Cryptic from four packs in a row ($14). The odds to just pull one Cryptic is 0.11%, which is not a good idea when every attempt is $3.50. Actually it's worse than that, because you can get a foil instead of a rare sometimes.

Buying individuals is better than boxes, especially if you're planning on doing tournies like me. how so, exactly
'cause you'd be paying more for less back in the day, unless things have changed

Near Mint (fresh from the package) 
but yeah no, that's smart
i was gonna say, if you don't care about condition, it should be easy enough to find the stuff you want for cheap, if you know where to go (e.g. not amazon)
or just try your luck by buying a whole box of them--which is a greater value than individual packs, of course
then again, i haven't fucked with MtG in yeeeeaaaarrrsssssss
Buying individuals is better than boxes, especially if you're planning on doing tournies like me. The card I'm complaining about in the OP is a rare card that's also really good. It's $25 per card atm. The alternative to 4 of those is a combination of 12 other cards for like $8, but it's not as effective. If they don't drop, I'll just have to pick them up with store credit down the line after more modern nights.

so do you just play, or are you also collecting
like, do you care what condition the card is in
I play, it's why I'm building a $140 deck that's a budget version of a $374 deck. Yes and no. Lightly played has a few scratches or white spots, but it's basically new and a lot cheaper. I'm not going to buy everything Near Mint (fresh from the package), that's just throwing money away. I might upgrade to foils down the road, though.

Why is your username always Prime "X'?
Because I like to change my name with my themes a lot, but I don't want people to be confused about who I am. It still happens anyway, but I can at least say that I tried.

I don't want to drop $100 on permission spells, but the alternative is to clutter with Snags, Leaks, and Anticipates.
Why can't things just be cheaper?

It's going to be JP2, except with Crisp Rat. Story will have something to do with those samples that were smuggled out on the helicopter.

Can we talk about mental illnesses now?
Diagnose me, Flood.
All of my nightmares for the last few months have been indistinguishable from reality. They start with me waking up to find a "visitor" in my bedroom and staring at me. It was a ghost face last week and a shadowy figure a few months back. It's not sleep paralysis because I get up and scare said creature off when I notice it. I don't wake up at the end--it was like I was awake all along.
Am I going to die?
You're a Final Destination. I'm sorry, it's terminal.

They're all on Watchdub, if you care.
Is there a Piss4 app for it?
It's a website. Did you need an app to access Sep7agon?
I usually watch Netflix and other things on my PS4. My computer doubles as my bedroom TV.
