It isn't the most generous game out there, but it is miles ahead of Hearthstone.

But such is the F2P life everywhere: It takes time to get what you want. Long-term (think 1-2 months), if you are diligent with your dailies, you'll usually have enough to spend on a top-tier control deck.

Usually, when you start out, you are limited in which competitive decks you can make, and are pretty much forced into 1 of 2 (mono-blue or mono-red). Control decks are pricey because they require a lot of rare cards. There are several tournament style events with cards as payouts and a buyin that allows you to break even and walk away with cards at a 50/50 winrate. In addition, you get 3 packs a week from quests as well as a lot of different decks to start out with. Do well enough in those and you can build up a collection very quickly, as contrary to Hearthstone, you keep all the cards you pick for your deck in addition to the prizes you get tehre. It is way better and has a rather generous model.īy doing the worst dailies alone, you earn about 1 cardpack a day, or enough for 1-2 drafts a week (equivalent of HS Arena Mode).
