Yeah. Actually, I'm glad for the card limit, because this at least tempers my drive to put every card in it :-) Getting a ~1/30 (or for some cards 2/30) chance of seeing the card reasonably soon is beter than a 1/100 chance :-) > Cap is 60 ;-) 10 just unlocks the basic cards, after that it's > cosmetic really, you get upgraded versions of each card as you level; > same abilities but fancier graphics, so no big deal. Thanks. I'll keep playing my mage for a while to try to get a better grasp but I'll certainly have a go at the other classes as well. > You can also try collecting all non-basic cards, you can buy decks for > 100g each Yes, I got one of those (bought it with my 100g reward for playing 3 games against human opponents). > else enter the arena for 150g and have a decent chance at winning a few > decks Is 150g the entry fee or the reward for arena? Haven't tried that yet as it is still greyed out (maybe because I've not had 150g yet?). > plus disenchanting extra cards and crafting missing ones helps. I saw that briefly but haven't looked at it yet. Can you only craft "real" cards that you don't have yet or do you have free reign to put together cards as you like (with limits and appropriate cost I guess)? > Arena is really fun, you get to select a deck from a random choice of > cards it gives you (it puts up 3, you pick 1, and it does that for all 30 > cards), meaning you can try out some cards you may not have yet. That does sound like fun. I'll give it a go when I next have time.
