MTG, and it's worth giving another swing if you ask me. I played it for a while when I was younger and had a similar reaction.
"Neat card art, but meh"
Fast forward fifteen years and you have standardized tournament formats, organized play EVERYWHERE, and tons of quality work being put into expansions like Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash to deliver a truly unique game. You can easily drop 30$USD and get a Fat Pack with nine booster packs, and that's pretty damn good odds that you'll get the cards you need to make a solid deck or have trade collateral.
Shit, don't even do that. You can get into a sealed tournament for 20$USD which more than pays for itself. They give you six booster packs, all the mana you need, and half an hour to an hour to make a forty card deck.
(I actually prefer sealed tournament, since it puts everyone on an equal playing field in regards to their card inventory.)
Also, a thing to note about Friday Night Magic: Wizards has put time, money, and energy to ensure that establishments that wish to be labeled as 'official' FNM event hosts have qualified judges willing and able to help explain the rules of the game, and make sure you have a good time!
Check out their store locator and check go watch a tournament! Ask questions! Have fun!
