TCG's are absolutely pay to win. Obviously, skill will be involved to an extent, but certain cards will become meta. Thus driving the price of that card up. So unless the company that makes the TCG provides products like theme decks that have staple cards, people will essentially be priced out of competitive play.
Yep... its pay to win if you want to win... But if you just play for fun, its best to play with a group with friends and just play with rogue decks, pre cons etc........ and only go to the store to play draft. If you do not want to keep up with the meta and rotating decks. You have to be at your A game and checking the best cards all the time...
Just in my experience with Lorcana, my first TCG I’ve played, I lost by exactly 4 lore to this one player who had all the meta relevant cards when if I had the $120 to get 4 Belle cards, I would’ve gotten the win on those times. It’s just flatly that better cards means the right tools to have when you need them. You aren’t even playing the same game if you don’t have the right tools
How is this a question? Yes, they are. Do you pay for a better card? Yes, are expensive cards better? Yes Why do you need 19 min to say if you pay more your deck is better and yes skill is a factor but compared to the price it is not the biggest factor into wether you win or not because between 2 equally skilled players if one has a 15 dollar deck and the other a 150 dollar deck you know the results without needing to see the match
Skill is a factor of course. But if you don't have the money to build the deck then you are not even a part of the conversation when it comes to playing competitive. I can speak only for Yu-Gi-Oh! and some cards are really expensive. You can't build the best version of your deck without paying that price. It is pay to win for sure. Skill comes into effect only after the price

Trading card games are pay to win. And gambling if you keep opening packs
