The monetisation is an egregious disaster, the RNG practically runs the game sometimes and casual players will have no reason to keep coming back. Theres some fun in there; its just locked behind statistically improbable gauntlets and marketplace auctions. Worth the asking price? Id lean towards no. Worth the investment required? Absolutely not. The buy-in isnt enough to sustain your time with the game, and its almost insulting that theres no way to earn cards when Valve already takes a cut from marketplace sales. The cards must flow, and thy wallet is tribute.”
