- Cons and Pros last paragraph

Super important note: If you think you like the game and can see yourself playing it for the long run, I recommend rerolling to optimize your experience as a beginner. First, download the mobile version and keep rerolling. With each reroll, open your new account's packs and share it on the games' official discord for opinions on your legendary cards and if they are worth keeping, or should just reroll for another chance. Note that rerolling is not possible on steam unlesss you're planning on creating a steam account for each reroll.

Pretty awesome game. it looks bland and generic at first, but it gets better the more you understand it and the more you dive deep into it's mechanics and gameplay. You find yourself getting attached to some cards, for example. there's a story that is funnily boring at first. but it gets intense in many parts and keeps you engaged with it's characters, plot and twists. VN players will enjoy this free experience I'm sure.

The devs throw so many packs for new players 50+ just for creating an account, and more packs just for doing story and beginner quests. after finishing them all, ( would take two to three days maximum depending on your speed) you'll eventually open around 100+ packs. the game isn't p2w at all, and doesn't require a penny if you play it consistently, just like any other CCG tbh.

PVP will teach you the game slowly and how many cards works and what not. You get Ranked rewards for winning. Meta decks will require some work to be able to craft them. You get a lot of Vials ( to craft cards ) that you can work with and grind for to be able to craft Meta cards. Or simply open a pack and pray for a certain card you're looking for. Meta state of the game gets boring sometimes, normally repetitive depending on the format you're playing in. Rotation: players can play with the last 5 expansions released, Or Unlimited: players play all the expansions available in the game.

Pros:
- many classes of leaders to choose from, each with their own playstyle and unique cards.
- Tons of rewards that keeps coming for new/old players
- with each new expansion, players get 10 packs for free, and 5 more packs 2 months after the release of a new expansion, Grandmasters get another 10 packs.
- you're most likely able to create a Meta deck right from the beginning to be able to grind and start your journey with a strong deck. (Depends on your luck)

Cons:
- Like any CCG game, if you take a month or two or freaking three months break without playing, the game punishes you hard, because powercreep exist. most old cards (not all) will be dominated by new cards. leaving you with an old deck that's not worth much And can't win you games anymore. Also, daily quests\logins are going to be your only source of pack openings, missing them isn't fun at all.
- The Meta can get very repetitive at times, it's gotten a little better now, but still, repetitiveness is awkwardly there, not as boring as before that's for sure. and it's extremely repetitive when playing the Rotation format since people are forced to build decks from the last 5 expansions only.

The game is worth checking out, but certainly not for everyone, and despite it's flaws it still is a fun game.
