I appreciate the input!

I would say my biggest concern is the land. I know the focus is to create a resource generating environment to make use of obsolete cards, but I'm not sure how that contributes to more exciting gameplay for new players. To me, it just distracts from the main strategy of the battles into some resource management side hustle and only benefits the people already here without providing much of any utility to the new players.

Land is more for the 'investor' side of the equation. A typical player who doesn't own land would need to purchase goods from a land holder in future to use spells or whatever. For you the change in game play would be having spells to use. For whatever that will be worth...

I'm glad you are enjoying it so far. I'm not trying to claim it's bad. I used to play a lot more, for me it became stale. How long have you been playing?
