Game isn't worth the money imo. It suckered me in at the start because there was just one initial set to buy. But if I were looking at it now, no way... no way at all.
Like most card games, deck building possibilities are limited mostly to what the creator (Blizzard) intended. Unforeseen metagame elements change this a bit, but not too too much.
There isn't enough cards in standard rotation, and Blizzard is too afraid of "frustrating" players by introducing interesting effects (they said they'd never do discard, but they just introduced the 2/6 taunt guy who brings a creature into play, so that's promising).
Blizzard also doesn't get how to balance cards. They tend to over-nerf and forget about cards that are made worthless. Look forward, they say. But the base set, if nerfed, sticks with us forever in standard rotation...
I'll be keeping up with the game and likely buying wings as they come, but I try to invest as little as possible. It's worth keeping up with given up much I sunk into it.
are you talking about HS or ECG?
I agree with HS its a big money pit. I dropped about 120 dollars into it over my first 2 months playing buying solo adventures, a few packs of cards, and a few arena runs.
I have enough of a card base now that I can have fun switching up my decks and grinding. I feel like the solo adventures are almost required to play the game.
I will spend more money on solo adventures if I cant save up enough gold to buy them. I won't spend any more on arena runs. I can't say about new card packs when they are released. Maybe just $10 worth of packs.
I dont know what the card aquiring is like in ECG, but since its still in alpha and fairly new I think starting now and playing a little here and there might be a good idea to keep up with cards.
Like I said though IDK how their card purchasing/acquirement even works.
