I was wondering how much the average person spends on playing standard/draft?

For draft, I pay $10 and get nothing but a free draft for winning. But it's a university club so its all friends.

When I used to go to stores, I paid $13-15 and the prize support was better.

The last time I played standard Jund was big.

When I was just starting, about $20 a week.
These days, about 3 hours a day at my LGS.

I only draft on MTGO, and I am still running on the same $50 I spent 4 months ago.

As for standard, it really depends on how competitive you are. If you are constantly trying to get the latest tech, you could easily empty out your pocket before you know it.

When I still care about standard, I drop about $20 a week to tune my deck, plus another couple hundred every month when I decided to completely try something new.

About $2-300 per set plus FNM and tourney fees. Drafts are included in the total.

I've spent less than $100 on standard cards and standard tournament entry fees this year (not including pre release events). So, not very much for me, but I have a dentist friend who spends hundreds every month on standard foils.

About $30 a week between a couple drafts. Probably not the smartest thing in the world when I make $10/hr, but at least I'm profitable when it comes to events.

Draft; $10, prize support is $15/10/5 in store credit. It used to be $15 and a pack and a half per person for prize support.

T2; $0 entry fee means no prize support is added for you, and you can't get prizes. $5 is for adding support ($5) and you can get prizes, then $8 which is the same as $5 but you get a free pack.

$400-500 per set on average which includes 3 booster boxes, 2 fat packs, a prerelease event, and 1 or 2 booster drafts.
