1) Not challenging at all. Expensive. There's no challenge involved in collecting the sets beyond opening your wallet.
2) I'm not going to believe the "highly competitive using only common and uncommon cards" hype until I actually play the game, and see it for my two eyes. This is an industry where a major company like fantasy flight can say "you can build a competitive deck using only two core sets" and what they are actually saying is "it's not possible to build a tournament legal deck without buying two core sets".
the proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
