I hear you on that, I played MTG way back in the day (right after Legends) I shudder to think how much money I spent on those cards. I forced myself to bail after Ice Age because it was just getting ridiculous.
This is why I do love the self-contained CCGs like Ascension and Magic 2013 and shied away from the others because of the money sink issue.
I thought that Assassin Creed CCG had interesting play mechanics but I didn't spend any RL money on that one. So I should be leery about potentially getting sucked into Sol Forge but this one seems to really want to drag me in!

Assassins Creed CCG was really really interesting Emos, probably the most unique ccg experience I've played in a long time, too bad it had quite a few connection issues etc.

I personally am really enjoying this solforge update, I like being able to choose between the demo decks, and checking out the starter decks(don't own them, just looking over the cards included etc), the game looks to be moving in a really good direction. I'm already pre-ordered, so waiting on the beta, but I like what I'm seeing in the variance in the cards, and I'm really excited about the future.

I thought I remember reading you could unlock all the cards within the game without IAP?

You can, when the game comes out

It will be F2P, in the same way that shadow era and spellcraft are. There will be an in game currency, you can gain by playing the game in various ways.

There will be a store similar to other games where you can buy singles of specific cards for in game currency, and most likely booster packs and other things as well. I'm not 100% sure on how the system will work.

They have said, you will be able to unlock all the cards without spending real $ (there might be variations of the cards, like animated cards, that have the same function but different art etc or special playmats/skins or maybe other things that you need to spend real $ on if you want them)
