Many games have different forms of pay to get into betas nowadays, especially f2p ones.
Scrolls by Mojang is in open beta - Page 2

The whole game is pretty much based on gaining the upper hand in the first few rounds. If the enemy gets a strong foothold, Growth lacks quite a bit of nuke that can pick that apart to regain map control. The starting deck synergy is quite weak, but I think that is on purpose to give some scope for improving, you're not supposed to start with the best deck. Also, your full focus should be on killing enemy creatures, as having control over map will make your opponent unable to do anything + it protects your structures. | ||

I can't figure out how to by specific cards... only random card packs which is not very efficient for making a decent deck | ||

There is tons of crowd control cards, but you have to use them smartly in order to swing around a board state. Hand building is the name of the game. edit: Though I haven't played with many custom decks yet. That and me playing Energy means my games tend to be slow no matter what. | ||

Expensive? 20$ for a TCG is quite cheap, actually. All other TCG online, if you ever want to have a competitive deck EVER you pretty much have to buy 200$ or more of in game cash. Scrolls, you can't even pay to win. You have to play and win in game gold to buy new cards and packs are quite cheap in in game gold. Every other TCG are basically pay to win. So yes, if you are super casual and want to play with the pre construct deck for ever and don't care about it, sure, you can do that for free in the other TCG. But, if you actually want to improve your deck at all and want to play some ranking games, Scrolls is the cheapest of them all for that. Even Hex will be pay to win, considering that each boosters of cards will be 2$. | ||

You can buy random cards which gave me roughly 2 very good and ~10 decent cards to add to the starting deck out of ~40. And you get 6 set cards each week to buy and I got none of growth, but a rare energy one and like 3 others that are all better than any card my deck has ... | ||

I honestly feel Shadow Era is a better card game, especially when you consider it's F2P and can be played from my phone or PC Really surprised noone heard of that game... I recommend it. Bleh, I recently got that game on my android but you can't earn cards offline. Since I'll be playing with the same deck against the same deck till the end of time I gave up on it pretty quick. | ||

Levels from XP give you shadow points to buy cards, and with gold you can buy individual cards. | ||

Im pretty sure it follows the minecraft payment model of "the earlier you buy the cheaper it is". I havent heard anything of Scrolls being completely f2p. | ||
