Ratings and reviews

Absolute waste of time so far. Made an account, saved the username and password, and one or the other is apparently wrong. Tried to get email verification, but seven hours later and I haven't gotten anything back. Massive waste of time, and as someone who was looking for an alternative to MtG, this isn't making me want to spend cash on the actual cards. Might change my mind if the game lets me log in, but idk if I'll even want to play it after the junk I went through.

A great way to play the TCG if you don't have a way to in real life. The game provides really powerful starter decks for some reason, so you're able to get started even if you don't previously have an account or cards. The casual mode is great for new players in this regard. My only real nitpick for this game is that when first joining, it jombards you with a ton of account creation rewards, which feels a little obsessive. It also gives you an insane amount of credits too, so the shop is broken.

I love this game, I think it is almost perfect in design. There is not one in game purchase option thrown in your face. They also offer a free battle pass. The only things I would like to see in the future is the option to do friendly battles and stability fixes. When someone leaves mid match the game just breaks and you have to reload. If you decide that you want to check a message while your opponent is thinking up their turn your game will reload to the menu screen and your match will be lost
