This game just makes me sad. It's my favorite card game of all time and has the best graphics/sound/UI/world/vibe/etc. in my opinion. I wish it would get some sort of revival - I keep checking back every few months, hoping beyond hope.

This is the best dead CCG game I've played in... well, forever.
It's a shame, and not really worth buying unless you got some friend to play with.
I would love to know of another game that blends head-to-head tactics + CCG like this game does.

This is one of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing. I don't say that often and love the experience. Thanks so much to the developers and the human beings I've had the pleasure to play with. The experience is so detailed and immersive that it reminds me of the 90's playing magic the gathering. I have to give this game my highest recommendation if you love card games or chess. It's awesome!

Interesting single-player campaign. Decent free to play options

The ability to select and place lands on the board provides so many strategic considerations. It's also interesting that having presence on the board is rewarded, with additional options for land placement and "faeria" (this game's version of "mana" or "energy") if positioned correctly. If the overall flow of card games and/or the art presented above inspire appeal, this is probably worth playing. I habitually refuse to engage in micro-transactions or purchase DLC content, but I've been enjoying this enough that I made an exception (when they went on sale, of course).
I have not thoroughly investigated PvP, so I can't speak to any meta or the overall balance of power among cards, but I successfully got in a few matches with ease. There is a wealth of solo content to be completed, some of which unlocks additional cards. Additionally, one is able to craft some new cards each day (one card per six hours, after a certain early player level, at time of writing). Packs are obtained from leveling up and completing daily given quests, which can be rerolled once if you would like a different task than the one it presents. There's a draft mode ("Pandora" it's called) which I have yet to touch after almost 80 hours logged.
I would recommend this wholeheartedly, with a few caveats. First, know that there is unlikely to be any new content; there hasn't been a balance patch in years. The developers are openly working on other, newer projects. Secondly, to get the most of your play time and unlock cards efficiently, it might be best to play regularly/daily rather than dedicating isolated, longer blocks of time.

Fun game it had real potential but the devs/publishers killed it when they made it paid to play vs literally all of the other card games that were free to play. Now if you're gonna play it expect to play against bots or find a friend to play it with you, you might need to through them a copy.

This is the best digital card game I've ever played. There is no spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on packs like in other games. Every player has access to every card just by earning them in game. The way you not only play lands and cards, but also move around the board is genius! Unfortunately, due to the success of pay to win card games, I'm sure they don't make anywhere near the money other card games do. I would love to see more players get involved with this game.
