What's there to say about the digital card game that brought about the likes of Eternal, Legends of Runeterra, Gwent etc. I don't play anymore, but after playing World of Warcraft I quickly embraced the game that let me keep a digital collection and didn't have to worry about a physical one.
While a lot has happened since 2014, and we just had a new expansion drop with Murder at Castle Nathria, the game still holds up and many changes have been made to make it more friendly to newcomers. Instead of the "Classic" set, there is now a "core" set of cards all player's have access to for that year. A great concept that brings back old cards into the current standard rotation.
With that being said, I do have an issue with how absurdly expensive the game can be (while it has gotten better). I decided to purchase the $50 bundle for pre-ordering the expansion, granting me 60 packs and 2 legendaries. In my 93 packs I opened today, I opened a total of 3 legendaries. Plus the two I got randomly. I cannot play a single new deck despite spending all this money.
While I love it, I can't in good conscience recommend this game to newcomers due to the prohibitive cost.
