I'll certainly try again, but yesterday just didn't get the right cards (or
didn't have the right deck :-)

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 :-)

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.

Yes, I got one of those (bought it with my 100g reward for playing 3 games
against human opponents).

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?).

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)?

That does sound like fun. I'll give it a go when I next have time.
