Card Games General

In fact, I think I am going to go and leave a bad review on this game. Fuck U Valve!

I was sarcastic, but point taken

You know itā€™s coming out in November?

yeha but im not allowed to nut this month

I think beta owners get to play next week

yo NMA buy me artifact

Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™m buying it myself. Iā€™m only buying if what reddit is saying about ā€œPhantom Draftā€ being free is true.

Valveā€™s recent faq saying stuff like how youā€™re going to have to pay to play ā€œeventsā€ after buying the game and the cards is just really stupid.

I think its smart.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I like what they're doing with some of this stuff. Very clean

However my big concern with artifact is that it's just too boring. Nobody gives a fuck about your Axe, with Blademail. Compare that to dropping a sick Vilgefortz and he's got the animated image of him burning some dude's face off and it's hard to imagine how Artifact can compete.

My problem is everything Iā€™ve seen about the game says draft is a 3x better game mode and I donā€™t really want to pay 20 dollars a week to pay the superior game mode after paying 20 dollars for 2 shit decks and 10 packs

No one gives a fuck about the flavor if the gameplay is good

I think theyā€™ve done some good thinking and good work towards figuring out what a great card game looks like (sometimes in direct opposition to the current standards set by existing games)

Especially fond of the idea of not building the most competitive mode around a constructed matchmaking ladder - which does kill games and Iā€™m glad theyā€™ve noticed that

I agree with people criticizing the pricing structure but I think itā€™s deliberate (they want to construct a game like magic where cards have value and can be exchanged and traded on a marketplace - could be huge as long as they can keep fees low)

I think I am just withholding judgment on that until we see it in action and get a sense for how predatory it really is

Incorrect

See: that anime card game that nobody played

Of course it's deliberate - that's what people are criticizing.

Deliberate in the sense that they have some thinking behind it for the structure of their game - beyond just milking everybody for money

Because it was made by some no name company with minimal marketing.

Yes, again, that is what people are criticizing. Theyā€™re criticizing their thinking and the structure of their game
