EPTAnd just because I feel that a lot of people sugar coat their answer to the 'can I play this game without investing money into it', let me give you the real answer: no. This is a trading card game, trading card games are notoriously expensive hobbies. If you want to play pvp at a decent level, you are going to need to spend money.

It is a ton of fun, but as with every real tcg it is quite the expensive hobby. I wouldn't actually mind throwing more money at the game but I am going to hold off for now because I haven't personally seen much work being down towards completing the game. Some of the things that bothered me while playing and are keeping me from spending more money are that I feel the population is too low, there are still bugs and there were 0 bug fixes/updates which for a game in closed beta should be one of their top priorities in getting fixed.

Yeah, essentially what has happened is that all their work for a long time now has been going to smoothing out their game engine, and while they may be getitng nearer to that, it has meant a lack of content addition or bug fixes for a very long time. And it probably won't be all that soon before the engine is ready. It is frustrating though, when the game already feels playable. You have the same complaint as a lot of people. | ||

So you don't have to put money in to be able to play this league. I definitely like the game I just hope the actually stick with it and keep the development up. I think I might check the Rock League out though, trying to play some random matches with my starter deck is a bit like bringing a butter knife to a sword fight and I don't really want to sink much into it until my mates get a key, is there any particularly crazy decks in it like Pauper from magic or is everything fairly even? | ||

I have used 4 different decks and i won my match with 3 of them. i think because its only 1 set there is nothing too crazy. I think any mono deck is a viable contender (except maybe mono green), and most 2 color combos are viable. I think white and blood both have an edge as far as commons go though, because white has great common removal (inner conflict, repel), and blood has murder and corpsefly which is probably the best common in the game. If you start orc, you can do the trials and then be pretty close to a competitive pauper deck. I was actually winning about 2/3 of my proving grounds matches by playing with just orc cards after completing the trials | ||

Yes, they did: http://www.reddit.com/r/hextcg/comments/2ccy4b/hex_beta_key_request_thread_8114_we_have_some/ I got mine from this post (waiting for the dungeons), reddit is also best the place to get a key, good luck. | ||

Just started the PvE story mode myself, and tournament queues have picked up a lot of steam with the influx of new and returning players. | ||
