Really ?

Games good but why can’t I get out of the tutorial without the server crashing and having to restart, just dumb

Outdated and boring.

You have to spend a lot of money in this game to be competitive and the hand draws and matchmaking are ridiculously bad.

If you finally make it far enough in the ladder you will come across the same 1-3 overpowered meta decks which is just boring.

Want to love it but it’s impossible

What a complete disappointment.
This game is genuinely fun, which makes it even more frustrating to see it ruined by what feels like a terrible algorithm that's more focused on squeezing money out of players than providing a fair experience. The gameplay increasingly feels designed to push you toward spending instead of rewarding skill or time invested.
The developers are just as frustrating. They'll reach out acting like they want feedback, but when you actually take the time to provide detailed, specific examples of the problems, they suddenly go silent. Instead, they tell you to post everything on their forum, where it feels like complaints are just sent to disappear instead of being addressed. If you're going to ask for feedback, at least have the decency to engage with it instead of passing people off somewhere else.
This game had so much potential, but poor management and questionable design decisions have completely overshadowed what could have been a great experience.
Can anyone recommend a similar game that's actually run by developers who care about fair gameplay and listen to their community? I'd rather support a company that values its players than keep wasting my time here.
