It is extremely fun though, even losing is enjoyable to me and I can't wait for Blizzard to start expanding upon the game.
   
   For what it is now, I give it a 10/10 for being a well balanced and extremely fun game with enough depth to last for quite a while.… Expand

Well... it starts out that way. The problem with a game like Hearthstone is that just like Magic:The Gathering, there's only one way to really build a good deck, and that's to shell out the cash. Sure, in MTG you can always kill your friends and steal their decks, but that's illegal and generally a good way to get excluded from tournaments. So you want to play (well)? You're going to have to pay.
   
   Hearthstone is a spiritual successor to the WoW TCG, and as such it follows that same basic principle. If you want to play competitively you're going to end up spending money on it, and I know from Beta there were a lot of people spending literally hundreds of dollars building their decks. That sounds insane to me, as I'm sure it does to you, and rightfully so. It's essentially F2P, but with that P2W aspect looming over it all the time, there's no denying that the really good players are going to be the ones who have bought into it.
   
   However, that's not necessarily a bad thing or a problem. I don't think we're going to see Hearthstone as some grand esport a la Starcraft, but even if we did keep in mind that you have to buy Starcraft too, so having to pay for Hearthstone isn't a negative, it's a natural part of the industry and that's okay. What is so great about this game is that the casual players who are absolutely terrible at it like I am don't have to pay for a game they're always going to suck at. You can play it, and enjoy yourself, perfectly well without paying a single penny for anything. I have, and I've had a lot of fun with it. Now I can't wait until it comes out on Android devices so I can get fired from my job for playing on the clock, because I know I won't be able to resist.
   
   8/10- It does exactly what it sets out to do, adapting a beloved TCG to the digital era. It's fun, it's addicting, and the cost of entry is free, which is almost always a plus. Worth the download and definitely worth the time.… Expand

   Let me start by saying that this game is great and addictive. It has solid game mechanics that is fairly easy to understand and you can create a variety of decks from the total card pool. So why do I give it a negative score? Customer service and Technical support.
   
   I spent money on this game on expert packs. I got some good cards from it, one was a Legendary card named Lord Jaraxus. For some reason, the said card is now missing from my collection. I went to the hearthstone forums and found out that this is already a rampant problem with the game with many players reporting cards disappearing from their collection.
   
   My thead is here: http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/12091329391 ... as of writing, there has been 0 response from tech support. A tech support did reply into another missing cards thread only to post Blizzards' "No card restoration or refund" policy. The thread is right here: http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/12032473280
   
   Please take note that the tech support did not even explain why the cards are missing or any information at all about this issue. I have already filed a dispute with paypal to hopefully get at least a refund from my initial purchase. This behavior from blizzard is a huge turn off. I advice those who plan to spend money on this game to think twice before doing so.
   
   Summary: Should have been a great game. But let down by poor customer service and a very unhelpful tech support.… Expand

Sure you can sort of compete by grinding and dusting everything in to the current OP flavor of the month deck but you'll be right back at the beginning once it's nerfed.

   Pay to have fun. They want you to pay real money to get better cards. People will say "you don't have to spend real money" Yeah I don't havePay to have fun. They want you to pay real money to get better cards. People will say "you don't have to spend real money" Yeah I don't have to, I could just get the currency in game but I would have to waste my time for months and months to get a decent deck.
   
   And also unfair cards such as "Destroy a minion" exists. You pay effort on your card to get buffs such as heals damages etc. And PUFF!! He kills your minion with only 1 card that says "Destroy a minion"
   
   Everything is planned to ruin your fun. Blizzard really knows how to push away players.… Expand

   How this game got past Blizzards think-tank is beyond me. Being a terrible mix between Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh its not even worth the download timeHow this game got past Blizzards think-tank is beyond me. Being a terrible mix between Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh its not even worth the download time just to check it out. For World of Warcraft players there are some perks to advancing in Hearthstone like in-game mounts and so on, but for those who jumped ship on the WoW wagon ( I bailed at MOP, didn't mind the Pandas, hated the TP system), I wouldn't waste your time or HDD space.… Expand
