Momir avatar + basics. Spend the rest on Fire & Lightning + Graveborn playsets.

Probably wouldn't buy anything because I don't enjoy constructed and am only mediocre at limited.
Momir avatar is a good call. If you're a good player (i.e. mistake free) it's possible to do well fairly consistantly. It can be a frustrating format, though.

Just be a degenerate and do release events while they are up, good EV.

You're saying I should drop down $40 on a single card, this Momir Avatar (which I've never heard of, btw)...
The card will become illegal in standard in several months, and then what will I do with it?
How can just adding this one card to my terrible deck yield any success?
Confused, as always..

The avatar isn't standard legal, it has it's own entire format built around it where you're allowed the Momir Vig Avatar and nothing but basic lands.
I've played it, it's pretty fun.

If I only had $40 to spend on Magic Online, then I'd probably just go and buy Skyrim or something.
MTGO is a huge money-sink, to those on a limited budget I would say "stay away".

As others have said, from my 5 or so years experience, Momir Vig avatar has been my most used and most fun spend, and easily the best $10-12 I've spent on MTGO. I wish there were as many Momir Vig daily events as there used to be, but even at the current rate, I've won more than I've put in to these events. Sure they are the most random, but they are also very fun. Check out a basic primer here: puremtgo.com/articles/momir-basic-primerAfter that, I would either save the rest of the money to use for events (Momir, and then drafts, assuming you start winning some packs to draft with), or buy a pauper (commons) deck if you fancy constructed. If you can start winning any prizes in these cheap formats, they can quickly help you build more decks or play more, without putting in much more money. Just my thoughts.

Just my thoughts.
Which are the cheap formats online, and where? What prizes can you win? This sounds like my best route for success.
