Card availability, team battles, guilds, a chat et al
Only Kaldheim packs are for sale, which are pointless to buy for me since I have mostly everything I want from Kaldheim already. I can get cards from different sets in draft events, but I am still building my collection, I don’t have the ability to compete in those events, so I draft and then resign. You have to realize how frustrating it is to face players with really strong decks and I don’t even have the ability to put cards I need in the decks I want to play. I’m a guy who doesn’t want to play a deck that’s just a collection of strong cards that play well together, I want to play a vampire zombie or elf deck or a deck built around certain cards I like. But I can’t do any of those things on a day to day basis. The only reason I have made any progress on my decks at all is because of the historic event where we could use cards from every set wether we had them or not. And regardless of wether or not I wanted to try my hand, the decks I get as rewards are not strong enough to win in draft events unless I get lucky. I’m not complaining about the decks, I like it that they are built around a certain dynamic and usually contain some nice flashy effects also. And I like it that I can fine tune them also. I just really don’t like it that I can’t get cards I need in this game by using my own wild cards and I don’t like having to buy 5000 Kaldheim packs when I don’t need much of anything from Kaldheim to get the wild cards. Another thing, there are plenty of cards in Kaldheim and the other sets that are better used against multiple opponents and there is no way to play teams. Also just to increase the fun there should be a way to play double life games that aren’t going to be over in three turns, because when you can win in three turns you have to build decks around winning in three turns and not around being able to play the cards you like the most. I think there should be guilds in the game and a chat outside of matches. There should be a system of alerts you can toggle on and off for the deck builder that tells you if you did something that’s going to really handicap you on accident or at least like if you put way too many or too few lands or not nearly enough creatures or something. My not being familiar with the way the deck builder works caused me two entire days of non-stop aggravation when I started playing. I thought the lands were being auto-added because there was no alert telling me the deck was unplayable and I didn’t think to check, because I had no reason that I was aware of to change the starting total of lands I didn’t look at how many I had. Lands is almost an exact number based on how many cards are in the deck as a baseline, just didn’t occur to me it wouldn’t auto-add that baseline number. There’s no way to report players for being jerk wads and there needs to be one. There’s no way to report players you think might be hacking also, I mean some people in this game have amazing decks and seem to have zero trouble getting every card they could possibly want for them while I on the other hand curse the fact that I can’t get what I need on a daily basis. Also I think there should be a non-ranked room that has a matchup engine governing who you end up playing against, because to have any degree of protection at all from being nuked by top players you have to play ranked mode and there is always going to be a limit to how far most players go before they start losing every match in ranked. Right now there is just not a single room where I can relax and enjoy the game. I mean my vampire and zombie decks are not weak man, they are homegrown and I have made ppl quit with them and beat them with meta combos and everything, I’m not afraid to play with them at all. It’s just that it’s not advanced enough to compete with top level decks but I get players with these decks as opponents on a regular basis, sometimes 5 or 6 in a row or whatever. Man I don’t even -have- a top level deck, why can’t I just play on my own level?
