Pro Balanced well
Free 2 Play with fair rewards for non-paying customers. While those that pay will have an early advantage, players can earn the same advantage with time spent in the game for free, it just takes longer.
Cons
Con Developer has given up
Almost shut down 3 months ago, now the guy running the community is the only one doing anything
Con Few players
Very few play this game.
Con May feel pay to win
Collecting cards in the game can be difficult as no single card can be purchases, you can only get cards in packs that either cost real money or earned in game currency, which takes time and grinding to earn. This is exasperated by the fact that there is no secondary market where people can sell cards.
Con Difficult card collecting
Takes a while to get a good deck, but it is mitigated with a good ranking system. So it may take a time investment in order to earn the appropriate cards to be competitive.
