I started playing recently and I'm a bit disappointed, but overall if it works it's nice for everyone wasting money.

Still I don't think I'll ever make up any loses and to be honest the game is rigged for the gold card players, a bit riddled with low level players and bots and generally people playing for money only, hence why in a few weeks I'm getting Diamond League, so far for two seasons in a row, without much effort, took me a few days to learn the rules and 50-100 steem and that's about it.

Good luck, it's still a skill game, there are a few broken cards, but in general you can get gold, even diamond with a few low-end cards, plus gold you can get with no investment at all, but you won't earn much, so gratz for investing, if you start winning tournaments and reinvest, get lucky, get 10 000 cards and rent/sell them you might make it back in some time :)
