That is the kind of card that might look funny on paper but never really works out unless there is an ally to swap stats with, what I can't think of right now... in general it doesn't convince me
I sometimes worry about LoR's future, but only because of two things - one, if i play at certain time of the day, i end up matching against the same guy over and over, leading me to believe there are not so many players, and two, because when i play (often in casual matchups), i get queued into a LOT of Noxus/SI bots, sometimes 4 or 5 games in a row, again making me concerned about how many people are really playing this thing? They certainly flood with content though, it's exhausting trying to keep up :)
It's not "too f2p friendly" - it's monetized differently. Rather than paying for the privilege of getting to use the cards in the game, you pay for the cosmetics to look cool while you do it.
And there are plenty of people who pay to look cool. And even some who are impatient to get all the cards, so they pay for those too. But even there, you pay for exactly the cards you want to get, rather than paying for a random chance to maybe get the cards you want to get.
That's too bad :( Never picked up the game due to a shortage of time, but I really hoped it'd thrive. Always sad to see passionate people have to give up their dream. I also want to give a huge shout-out to Nirast, who put so much time and effort into putting a spotlight on the game on this site.
I guess it will be okay in ez draven but neighter Ezreal nor Draven profit that much from a free attack.
In ViRiven however, where every unit is 5+ power with overwhelm and often enough also elusive a free attack is a "little" better, especially because this is an augment trigger aka 1 bonus attack
I like it. Not gonna lie, I had to look up "Alembic", but that turned out to be very neat flavor and an alliteration is always a good choice for a card's name. Mixing costly ingredients to get something potentially strong is also nice flavor. It's also very cool that the card curves into its effect. The one minor thing that literally caught my eye is that the last line isn't centered (compare it to the one above), probably to avoid a clash with the attack symbol. You could have tried to solve that issue with reducing the font size. Gonna vote 4 or 5 stars.
Now I feel bad for not having given Mythgard a real chance. For me, it was a matter of how much time I can put into my hobbies and with me having gotten quite invested in Hearthstone over the years, Mythgard had small chances to get a place in that cramped time schedule right from the start. I did like the flavor of the game though, it is a very cool setting.
I'm really confused of how this would end up being of financial impact.
It's simple really! Control decks are expensive, and if they dominated the meta then Tickatus can dominate Control decks, encouraging players to play cheaper aggro decks, therefore, Blizzard has financial gain by forcing a meta that costs less money...
We kept Basic cards when they moved to Legacy, so the precedent is that we keep them. I could imagine new players needing to craft them if they start playing after they have already left Core though.
At the end of the day, the CCG market was never going to support all these different games. This is especially true as the big boys Hearthstone and MtG master the art of squeezing every lady dollar out it’s customers.
in the end all that will remain is Hearthstone LoR and MtG Arena. Everything else is dead they just don’t know it yet

This actually could be the unit that makes support heavier decks a thing.
For now I keep playing Taric Aphelios and call it the day but let's see what happens....

Still better than shutdown of Duelyst or MM Doc.

Priest nerfs are always a positive change for the game. The less we see priest, the better.
New Noxus Card - Ruined Reckoner
I feel like this is actually pretty good in Ez/Draven to get your champions to attack. It's also pretty good in Overwhelm decks.

It’s quite possible that LoR is a loss leader, in which even though it runs at a loss it helps drive new players towards trying LoL proper
