As for the game itself, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the design that will prevent it from catching on. The card game aspect, along with being able to move your units on the board every turn, makes for a lot of choices for the player to make. The fact that it's not free-to-play might be the biggest factor to prevent it from catching on. But that's not to say that a FTP model is necessarily better: for a card game, is it possible to motivate money spending while keeping the effects of said spending mostly cosmetic? | ||

What is the average match length? 1 1/2 hours is quite a long time for 1 game, the game length of League and Dota 2 is one of the reasons I don't play those games as much. | ||

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. They key factor is how high you set the bar for your TCG of choice. I played competitive MTG for years, and for me Shadow Era is pretty meh. On the other hand, you can get competitive cards if you mass a reasonable amount of games, spending $0 (at least when I played it a year ago), which is very nice. Gonna try the Might and Magic one. I honestly hate how high MTG set the bar (result of years and years of experience), even when I believe a better online TCG formula is very posible. | ||

I don't think there's enough card variety yet to create unique decks but there are a few different strategies per faction whcih is nice. I'm finding energy to be the strongest so far | ||

Some other games have picked up similar mechanics where board control is much more important than card advantage(see might and magic) Overall I think it's interesting enough. Does anyone know if unlocks in beta will carry over into release? | ||

I've seen a few f2p Digital CCG betas wipe (Might and Magic did for instance) , so it's a "Fair" start for everyone(they returned any of the in game $ you purchased). Other games have done resets as well, I just can't remember which ones. I usually avoid "grinding" those sorts of betas, and wait for the release,  . Always good to know, I couldn't find info by googling this, I looked up scrolls open beta faq, as well as do you keep your scrolls and did not get a definite answer  . | ||
