Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro High quality art
The art gets its inspiration from WoW and HoMM and is quite high quality. Definitely a pleasure to look at.
Pro Different game modes
There's so much to do in the game - Mazes for farming, Arena for PVP and rankings, Raids for stealing other players' currency, and more.
Pro Four different factions
There are four different factions the player can build their decks with, Faen, Humans, Neanders and Mortii. Though most factions work best when using them and them only.
Pro Shuffled deck allows for more strategy
By forcing the player to use a shuffled deck the most powerful cards may not be able to be used at first. This means the deck needs to me more balanced overall as well as the player needs to be more watchful of the opponent's plays to counter adequately.
Pro It was the only really TCG game on moblie without the heartstone layout
Cons
Con The game is unplayable without spending crazy amounts of money
The only way is to invest in an event which costs thousands of gems and will give you back the same amount plus an extra, and some premium random cards. Having in mind that there are a LOT of premium cards and that you need several copies to make them worth it, it is pretty impossible to make a decent deck, even if you try hard.
Con Some cards too difficult to obtain without paying
Even though the game is free to play, some cards are pretty much locked behind a paywal, forcing serious players to eventually spend real money on the game if they want to compete.
