I'll second that. I played Magic: The Gathering on and off for probably two decades. Dominion is like Magic but much more self contained. Sure it'll cost you a bit to buy every single expansion but then once you have there's no need to buy anything else.

It is also endlessly variable and thus infinitely replayable.

But the best part reason why Dominion trumps Magic in general? No mechanic like the land mechanic where so many games are decided by mana flood or land screw. Richard Garfield designed a great game in Magic but the whole land issue taints the game for me.
