actually I think half the battle is won when you are able to predict what cards your opponent would put out. So it gets more difficult when there are more card combinations.
Not seeing the opponent prior has made things harder, as now it is put out the best team and cross fingers. But, this is a good change in some way - in live tournaments in the future though, it will be more interesting - more chess-like, as people will study opponents.
Those images have been in since the start, right?
Yeah I think so, at least since a year ago when I started playing. I am probably one of the few that chose a random avatar because I didn't want to leave it blank. Lol!
