I enjoy the game but….
*update after response from developer:
Your automated response didn’t address a single thing I mentioned. Why even bother responding at all? I’m ok with ads. I use them for little boosts all the time but those boosts are way too low. Watch an ad to turn 180 gold into 300 gold, when you need 50,000 gold? It’s pretty ridiculous. And for the record, when I “watch” the ads I usually put my phone down and go to the bathroom or something 😂
Response from developer
Hello, we would like to apologize if our previous response seemed automatic. It definitely wasn't – your feedback means a lot to us. We know that the game's progression can be a bit slow for free players, and we're always striving to balance things out. We don't want anyone feeling forced to purchase in-game offers. Our ad rewards are also intentionally set at a level that keeps the game challenging while still giving you a little boost. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for being a part of our gaming community. It's players like you who help us make the game better for everyone. We can't wait to keep improving and making your gaming experience better. Kind regards, Black Deck Team
Great game but come on be fair
Ie. Deck power 112k defeated by a 45k? Something suspicious there.
There are some annoying aspects of the game where you manage to get into the silver league and you end up facing card deck twice your strength, you may find a few decks your strength and slowly move up towards the 2nd tier but it takes a few refreshes to do so. But then you wake up the next day to find you have been knocked back to the Stone Age, bugger it and Gomorrah.
What needs to change:
Allow essence to be free to collect over time so you can foil your cards. Some people do not have deep pockets.
Fairer system of pitting you against decks you stand a chance against. It’s not all about power.
But all those poor decks I have mashed into the mud climbing the ladder only to find double my strength opponents who laugh and send me back to the bottom league.
Some way off trading your useless bronze tokens in the town hall into either higher tokens, coins, diamonds, or Foil points. What’s the point of getting tokens you can’t use?
Overall it’s a great addictive card game to distract you from your daily chores.
Just be kinder to the poorer people out there.

The improvements are now being tested in our beta version and will be included in the next game update, which will be released within a month. As for your suggestions regarding essence and tokens, we've already sent your feedback to the development team and we'll discuss what we can do about it for the future updates.

Fun, but…
The artifacts upgrade system is terrible. You can spend all your coins to upgrade 1 artifact (I just lost about 3000 coins attempting to upgrade an artifact that cost 245 coins). I deleted the game to save myself the headache.
Response from developer
Hello. Thank you for your feedback. As you progress through each level, the game becomes more challenging and all in-game resources can be obtained for free, although it may require additional time and effort. As for the artifacts, to maintain balance and ensure a fair challenge, we've made the artifact upgrades a bit more challenging: the higher the artifact's level, the tougher it becomes to successfully upgrade it, because high level equipment gives you the highest strength improvement. We're continuously working on improving the gameplay experience, so we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us and hope to see you back in the game sometime. Best regards, Black Deck team
Good game but could be great!
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for reaching out and sharing your suggestion with us. They help us make the game even better :) We're planning to release the first version of guilds very soon. Please stay tuned! Best regards, Black Deck team
Does anybody even play anymore?
Haven’t seen any decent new cards in ages. Almost no decent campaign rewards.
Response from developer
Hello, thank you for the review. You are right, upgrading legendary cards can be really challenging, because they are the rarest and the strongest cards in the game. That is why it takes more advanced resources and time investment to them. However such efforts bring great outcomes for your deck. We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. As we are constantly working on making the game better, our team is trying to take every player's feedback into consideration for future updates. Kind regards, Black Deck Team
so pay to win it’s unfair
mobile game makers these days are only focused on one thing: profit. they don’t care if it makes it virtually impossible to play their game (and enjoy it) if you’re unwilling to pay anything. so unsatisfying :( i gotta delete it
Response from developer
Hello and thank you for your review! We are sorry to hear that ads caused you frustration. Unfortunately, we cannot remove the ads from the game completely, as the ad revenue helps us to continue releasing new updates and developing new features. Thank you for sharing your opinion with us! We really hope to see you back in the game. Best regards, Black Deck team.
Nothing but ads and P2W
Response from developer
Hello, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us on what can be improved. We'll make sure the development team received your feedback about the pop ups frequency and they'll discuss what they can do with the amount of pop ups for the future updates. Best regards, Black Deck team
Love the game! A great addition to the card community
Ive had a lot of fun playing mtg over the years, and it is so nice to get back to the bare bones of the game type. There aren’t millions of cards, but there are enough that it seems like no two decks are the same. They’ve really nailed it when balancing between ease of use and strategic fun! I can’t put the game down, and I really enjoy being part of a community that wants to hone the skill of deck building with me. Come join us!
Response from developer
