So far it's basically all about stability though and not content so the buzz has died down a little bit once the updates become more content oriented it should build up again. Still think it's got a good thing going though. | ||

Here is the discussion on the Hex Forums, but this link is the only break down I have seen from someone claiming to be a lawyer on this specifically, and here is another article about copyright in video games. | ||

Giveaway can be found here: http://www.gamerpet.com/giveaway I also made a video about the game here: If you have any other questions about the game feel free to ask. I don't want this post to be counted as spam. I really want people to get into the game because it's really fun. One thing to note, Acution House would be implemented soon so you can't trade yet. Also, PvE is not implemented yet ... so the game right now it's PayToPlay basically. You will only get a Starter deck and if you want other cards you need to put some money in. When you get in I recommend you to get the "Orcs Starter Deck". I also have 2 extra beta keys and some Draft Starter Packs. I will give those during a live stream or something. Thanks | ||

What have I been looking for? Online MTG with better software. This game basically is MTG, but I am sure they are going to use their advantage of starting fresh to make improvements on the flaws of MTG. Hearthstone was too simple for me, but this fixes that. It is closed beta so there is still a lot of work to be done but I have a feeling that this game is going to be very successful so I think I will keep investing time into it to grind out cards. Not gonna put any money in for a while though. | ||

Anyone know how it's going with that?

I tried the game, it seems to be pretty good so far, but if I understood correctly there is no way to grind out cards for the moment. You have to pay to get more cards that the ones you get with the tutorial. Well, I guess it won't stay this way for long, so I'll keep an eye on it ! You get 100 gold per random match win. I started playing today, I have played a couple hours, I have made 900 gold. That's enough to get a handful of commons or maybe an uncommon. So the going is very slow, but it is possible. However, when you do the starter trials you get extra cards for beating them. And if you put together the cards from the other starter decks and do the start trials with those you will get even more cards. So if you don't want to spend money the going is slow, but it is possible. I am having fun with my initial cards right now anyways though. | ||

I guess I must have missed that the first time I played.  | ||

While I'm still undecided on whether to play this game or not, I'll be hoping the increased competition results in cheaper Magic in the future | ||

may have spoken somewhat too soon, i have several bids out with the small amount of gold I have won. But it has been extremely hard for me to win with the starting deck + the few cards I got from the trials. I started as humans and while some of the individual cards seem strong (tons of +dmg/defense and cards that give your troops abilities) but atm it is hard to combo them well. The most obvious thing to me to aim for atm with this deck is to get 2 more of the paladins that gain stats every time your champion gains health and combo that with flying troops + lifedrain (through champion/sockets/abilities) and the 1 cost troop that gives u health every time you summon a troop of equal or greater cost. I also saw some relatively cheap 'white pawn' artifacts that give you +1 health so they would probably work well with this idea as well. Unfortunatly at the moment I only have 2 of the paladins (will try to get 2 more as soon as I can) and they only way I have to stop disables is a single repel and a single counter spell. | ||

Sounds fairly similar to what I've been searching for, Magic(mostly EDH) has become a bit too much of a chore with friends as it seems everyone constantly has 10+ new cards or interactions that make no real sense and result in us arguing over it for hours instead of playing and Hearthstone while it plays nice just falls flat in the long run, only other game I found that was fun was Solforge but it had its own host of issues.. Got a key a while ago so downloading now, will give the Orc deck a go as my starter and see how it is. | ||

I don't know if you liked what you tried or are still playing, but if you don't want to put money in but want to have fun, there is a league on the hex forums called the "rock league", which is basically pauper (all commons with 4 uncommons, no rares, no legendaries). So you don't have to put money in to be able to play this league. | ||
