If you have a ton of cash to throw at a game, this is your game, if not stay as far away as possible. I cant stress it enough! If you want something casual to play, at a decent price, go elsewhere, this aint for you... Really good card game, great mechanics, awesome customer service. But I repeat if you cant shell out thousands of dollars every couple of months (at least) you will always be on the (very) bottom rung. Ive spent thousands on it over a few years and Im still constantly frustrated that my deck is easily beaten by people who spend that every month or so. And its not cuz my inability to make a good deck but because the cards they released a few months ago are now obsolete and the cards you win thru the game are a joke most often. Just go download Magic the Gathering and be happy with it.
