Pros
Pro Asynchronous online play
Asynchronous online play allows for the player to get matched up against a friend or random opponent.
Pro Bases
Bases are permanent cards on the playing field that each player needs to try and destroy but giving that there is a choice each turn to hit a base or the players ships, it becomes a juggling act of what takes priority to destroy.
Pro Unpredictable
There is no way for the player to know what will be in their hand or what they will eventually be able to purchase, making for every game being unpredictable.
Pro Pass and play multiplayer on a single device
Players can play a multiplayer game locally using a single device by passing the device between the two players for each ones turn. This makes for an easy way to duel when only one device is around.
Pro Single player mode
There is an included single player mode where the player faces off against the CPU.
Pro Rewarding
Strictly Better Rewards than Hearthstone, and packs cost the same amount.
Pro Accessible
Game is F2P friendly due to generous leveling system, starting campaign
Pro Single player friendly
For those who don't want to play ladder, ESL offers both a story mode, and a solo arena.
Pro Has Elder Scrolls lore
Even for people that never played card games, if you loved elder scrolls lore you will love this.
Pro Mature art style
Art on cards looks great, and isn't overly cartoony.
Pro Strategic depth
Rune System, the shadow lane, decrease of ping compared to other ccgs leads to a game that requires tougher decision making.
Pro Little RNG
Most RNG is related to card draw/deck variance, with a couple exceptions mostly on unique legendaries.
Pro Interactive with opponents
Unlike in Hearthstone, there is a lot of interaction and choices with the cards and your opponent. Pirate Warriors, face hunter, solitaire/miracle rogue, to name a few.
Cons
Con Design is lacking
More thought, design and production value could have been added to the game to give it a better polished feel, sadly it is not the case as most aspects pass as just serviceable.
Con Bland card design
Con Bad UI
The UI feels like that of a game released in the 1990s in a bad way.
Con Bland board
Only one playmat to play on, and it doesn't "pop" like other games playmats do.
Con Region-locked on Steam
An error was encountered while processing your request:

Con The two lines can have a snowball effect
The two lines separation can have a snowball effect that will lead to an imminent loss.
