I have no idea what the deck even looks like... this gets upvoted on story alone! Great read!

I agree, it was way too easy to win with an evolve shaman. The wins/losses weren't displaying on the front chalkboard screen, but they did show in the actual game, so I doubt that was it... I think they just saw how simple it was to get to 12 wins.

A lot of dragon artwork (no surprise there)

I like the calendar mechanic... from a marketing standpoint I think it is really effective

Ah, that makes sense. I'm not seeing coverup here btw, just some people not making a big deal over leaving. I also agree that it probably garnered attention now due to Blizzard's current activity in the news. Thx for the clarification Flux!

I'm a little confused... if this happened in May, why is the article being written now? Did something change or some new development occur?  

I'm not being snarky or anything (I didn't realize they left at all, which is maybe the point of the post), I am just trying to understand...

Yep, that was the implication

"How do you know it will work?"

"Because it fixes the problems!"

"How do you know it will fix the problems?"

"Because it works!"

Seems odd to have the confidence that the patch will fix all (or almost all) of the problems, but don't have the ability to send the patch out now... if it's not ready, how do you know it will fix all the problems?  

Thx! I will take a look... last time I checked (maybe 2 years ago?), they had connections but no unifying sense of lore or structure... it's great to hear they've put in some work to make it more rich and concrete!

Not a fan of this brawl... there seem to be WAY too many ways to cheese out wins (i.e. choose Paladin; if the rotation comes from the right, summon a silver hand recruit every turn).

Interesting... I wonder if there will be a strong push towards establishing solid lore in LoL (I may be out of the loop, but I was under the impression it was pretty cursory on lore, focusing more on gameplay)

LoR basically provides the same, but with some addeed depth. The gameplay is still fairly simple, but much more engaging than HS, the visual design isn't perfect, but it's definitely more appealing than most of the other card games, and finally it's set in the universe of a very popular MOBA that has many people …

Great write up and introduction to the game! Outof.cards is providing an excellent resource for all of us that have not yet had the opportunity to play, and the reviews of the preview have been pretty much all positive! Hopefully it won't change elements before full launch...

This is the first DCCG that has looked as interesting since I …

Did pre-registration, but I guess I wasn't lucky enough to get into the preview (I did pre-register after it was posted here, so it was probably already in progress). Thx!

Is this game live? I was under the impression that it has not yet launched, and to purchase packs before even experiencing the final game play seems... presumptuous on the game's quality...

Sounds great, but I'm somewhat concerned about the business model and how that will affect the players... if you can buy a lot of wildcards, then it becomes pay-to-play (which, to be honest, a lot of F2P games are). If you can't buy a lot of wildcards, then early adopters will get frustrated with waiting and you will also have …

The work put into this is incredible... great job! I think it may be a bit overpowered (even given the weaknesses, this class could snowball like nobody's business easily), but the concepts, the artwork, and the incredible detail given to the card mechanics is awe-inspiring!

I did notice the portraits within the Arena now display a Halloween theme (which I didn't see before), as well as the CPU home screen has a theme as well (including the aforementioned candy corn... not a fan either of the candy, but the screen looks nice). I only about 800 wins away from the 1k on my closest class …
