Apparently you were an oddity because the Digimon TCG was one of the hardest for people I knew to learn then again, these same people also didn't wanna bother with the rules for the Pokemon TCG because they didn't have any Energy cards. Once you learn how to play Pokemon, Magic is pretty easy to learn, as is pretty much any TCG Wizards of the Coast had a hand in creating. It was even regarded as a way to make Magic easier for kids to learn. Heck, even the Harry Potter TCG is built similarly to Pokemon and Magic (it is another Wizards TCG, of course).
