Growth has a pretty clear advantage with their many resource, card drawing, and stacking buff abilities. They have plenty of awesome spells as well as impressive minions, as well as potent and useful structures. They can build up fast, and stay at top speed, which energy and order have a very hard time accomplishing. | ||

Contraptions are crap indeed. In my Energy deck I only run 3xClock Library and 2xDestroyer as structures. They are both beefy and I regularly use them to absorb a hit or two. The same goes for Gravelock Elder and Cannon Automaton. All of these can be used as walls or for their effect. The only card that always gets to be a wall in my deck is Machine Priest, but even he does really useful stuff while he is around. | ||

Energy just has no draw power, so you can't drag games out. Use Shock, Iron Whip, Burn, Desperation, and Thunder Surge to kill things instead. | ||

For example what kind of deck you're building. Sounds like 3 colour Iron Ogre. | ||

There's a few versions I've made not too sure which one is the best still since I don't have all the cards for it yet. Dual colours just has so much advantage that I don't know if mono will ever be better, i mean even if you don't go GO draw build but just go growth with a splash of order since they have amazing low cost (1-3) spells such as Speed, Focus, Pother, Kabonk etc that will allow you to play the Noaidi (which is also imbalance imo) I dont think a mono growth can beat it.

If you so happen to hit something then it's definitely good but you shouldn't rely on it. Pumps and Libraries are both too low on health, especially since Libraries usually sit in the back line since you want to draw and not tank, and the Ether Pump has a long cooldown that tends to get focused fast so you might not even get 1 attack in also both of those are 4 cost. Not to say those aren't good but definitely not to replace Hellspitters | ||

I just bought the game, picked growth and played some of the trials.. should I just spam 10 card packages, or is it better to buy single growth cards? I mean, the 10 pack is obviously the most cost efficient, but is it easy enough to get rid of cards you don't want? I mean in the future I will probably want to try hybrid decks and the other resources, but early on that's obviously not an option unless you buy the other starter decks. if you want to start collection get 10 packs and sell the good cards you don't use for more gold. play the easy trials for a bunch of free gold and stuff. commons are trash for the most part for trading though. | ||

The big names are definitely: HEX: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cze/hex-mmo-trading-card-game and Hearthstone: http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/ Honestly though, for the price, I think Scrolls is simply just worth the money. Even if Hex and Hearthstone DO destroy scrolls when they are released, you would have played for far more than 15 euros worth, no doubt. | ||

Do we know if these games are going to be based on microtransactions where you have to buy all your cards with real money? | ||

I honestly doubt any of those games will use microtransactions to buy the actual cards since that would put them in direct competition with Magic The Gathering Online, but I don't think either of the game has openly stated exactly how gaining new cards will work. | ||

What caught my interest was the grid layout and cards you play popping up there in physical form but novelty of that is going to wear out soon. | ||

I mean in the future I will probably want to try hybrid decks and the other resources, but early on that's obviously not an option unless you buy the other starter decks. If you know exactly what cards you want, then buying singles from other players rather than from the store is generally the best way to go. You just have to be patient and some times it can be hard to get in some of the trade channels with the 100 user limit, which hopefully they raise in the future. If you didn't know, there are lots of trade channels, you just have to manually join trading-1, trading-2, trading-3, ect. scrollspc.com will give you an idea of what the "average" value of cards are so you don't get totally ripped off. Of course you can sometimes find better deals or sell for more than what they list if you are patient. I usually make a list of the cards I am looking for and copy and paste it in trade chat every few minutes, alternating between the different trade channels. Something like: BUYING: 1000g: Speed, Fertile Soil, Thunder Surge 600g: Honorable General 250g: Iron Whip If you copy and paste it will keep the formatting on the text. Ideally at some point they add an auction house to make it much easier to sell and buy.

Hex is definitely going to be selling cards by the pack for real money, though there is supposed to be a way to earn packs slowly for free. But considering how many packs many of the kickstarter contributors are going to get, I wouldn't expect to be competitive for a long time vs other people without spending quite a bit of real money. I haven't really followed Hearthstone that closely to say. I've enjoyed scrolls quite a bit, and while it's not perfect I feel I have gotten my money's worth. | ||
