Way better than TCG pocket, but I really wish there was a game mode to use older cards. I made the mistake of using my accrued gold to get cards from some of the earliest sets available in game but I found out I can't even use them. There really should be some kind of Retro Play or something, or maybe warn the person like "hey, you can't actually use these cards in play anymore." before wasting gold on them.

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.

This game is great! I've been playing standard at IRL events and casual since forever, and I think this is a great adaptation from the table! The only way to purchase things with real money is to buy the thing you want irl, which isn't bad anyways because if you're good at it, getting cards for standard isn't an issue. The only reason I have deducted a star is because sometimes it just crashes and it's annoying.
