The way the game is set doesn't really favour any cards holding value, given everything is relegated to a basically bot only mode after some time. Land itself won't value cards that much, and I would say most players (the few we have) ate here because they want a tcg and not a simcity style game. On top of it, removing the leagues was and is a disaster for any new player experience... and without attracting new players and current players bleeding out, yep: your title does have a point. As usual, would love to be proven wrong!
