I have mixed feelings. On one hand, every bullet point in Rubin's list sounds like a good goal. I also want to see a lot of variety over time! But I also want to see healthy, fun metas at any …

The details of the balance changes have allegedly been leaked. https://reddit.com/r/LegendsOfRuneterra/comments/wlqaup/_/ijv8p5q/?context=1

I complained a lot at first about this game being region-locked, but now I'm relieved. I can wait and see what they come up with before this rolls out to the US, and I don't have to have an opinion …

• Their stance remains that new cards represent "more options" rather than "more power."

I always hear this, and not just from this game. It's a great approach in theory, and I'd love to …

I called him clueless and said I'm not sure if the game can fix itself. That's not a defense of him.

I'm just trying to figure out why the game is set up this way, because it's actually a …

Brode is getting a lot of flak for being greedy, but I think he might just be clueless. Or more specifically, he doesn't have a good handle on what players want from progression. He seems to have this idea that …

Wow. I don’t play the game yet, but I just went and checked on the reaction in Reddit. Now, I expect most people on Reddit to be angry about any update. But even so, I was shocked at the level …

And the game is not covered here. I'm pretty sure I remember Flux saying firmly that he had no desire to include Gwent in Out of Cards. I'm not sure what changed.

There are some almost-good ideas here. I like the feeling of killing followers to gain power. I like a spell that protects a specific champion AND punishes your opponent for trying to target her. But I agree with everyone else …

Yeah. Part of me feels like I don’t need a major shake-up, because the current expansion is only two months old and seem pretty fresh. But even so, this one doesn't feel like it’s offering much…

I like this. It incentivizes the Rogue's opponent to interact with Secrets in a way that I don't think Hearthstone has had before. You WANT to trigger your opponent's Secrets before killing Halkias, or you want to try extra-hard not …

I agree that a 5/4 body in late game means very little, because it doesn't take too much effort to clear. However, it still means something. It will probably cost your opponent one more 2- or 3-mana spell, or …

It’s 1 mana cheaper PLUS you get a 5/4 body on the board. Normally, by turn 7 it doesn’t help much to get another minion that does nothing this turn. However, when it’s summoned alongside the three companions, an extra …

Relic of Dimensions shouldn’t get worse unless you reach fatigue. I think you’re assuming that it draws more and more cards, but it will never draw more than two. It’s the cost reduction that improves over time. 

Ha ha. Why is my "all Nozdormu" deck listed in the hot options for this brawl? I don't know whether that was hand-picked or chosen by an algorithm, and I'm not sure which option would be funnier.

As the …

Yes, you can always put off using your location until a later turn. You are sacrificing tempo, of course - Playing a 2-cost card that won't have any payoff until later is a little greedy (especially since the payoff is …

Yep. For more information, see, well, almost every comment on Marvel Snap articles. Many people (including me) find it annoying.

FWIW, you shouldn’t find yourself very far behind when the game launches for real. The vast majority of players …

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "iOS inclusion", but this is what we know so far. Does it answer your questions?

• The game is currently available in the iPhone App Store if you are in the …

Thanks, that makes sense. I still have a lot of questions when I wonder about it.

Since the game is being presented as a beta version, people who try it should have some patience with unpolished pieces. I know …

I would love to know more about the logistics of rollout processes that leave the game unable to be played by most of the world. (Is anyone looking for a new article to publish? Hint, hint.) I assume that this …
