    Unfortunately the newest expansion of the popular card game not only does little to provide additional depth, quite the contrary as it rather reduces the variety of top decks. We wouldn’t be surprised if in the near future we will only see a handful of identical decks on the virtual tables.

    Hate it due to...
    1) old cards becoming irrelevant.
    2) the whole xpac being centered around one card. 3) some OP cards forcing you to play
