I regret that I never gave this game a chance when it was being maintained because at its core it is one of the better card games. Tho it has some pretty critical flaws and is no longer getting new content.

Cons:
- Rune destroyed card draw is just bad and makes games long and dull.
- Any of the story stuff is insanely expensive. Like something in the order of $200 just to complete the single player content. You can earn gold to buy expansions but it'll take ages to earn because rewards are ♥♥♥♥ and player count is low.
- The Arena mode is plagued with random game modes like "Everyone starts with +3 magicka" that take all skill out of the game and turn 2-3 battles out of every arena run into an entirely RNG based steam roll on either you or the AI's side.
- Hard to prove, but seems like single player modes have been made not to let you win to much in a row by feeding the AI's draws to unrealistic proportions
- In versus the turn timer is pretty unforgiving and continues to countdown when your opponent has to take an action on your turn
- Deck building is very hard as most of the good build around cards are locked behind the expensive story mode.
- Most of the UI is barely acceptable at best and absolute garbage at worst.

Pros:
- Good selection of reasonably well balanced mechanics
- High skill ceiling, rarely do you lose via RNG means outside of the single player issues mentioned above.
- Solid voice acting, sound effects and art
- Lots of single player modes
- The first like 20 hours of game play is actually pretty good. Decent story mission and plenty of pre-built decks to try.


Overall if your looking for a CCG to play every day, look elsewhere. This one is dead, broken, and never going to get any better. But if ya just wanna ♥♥♥♥ around for 6-20 hours with a decent card game its worth the $0 just don't waste your money on buying the dead content they are selling at obscene prices.

If your a TES lore fan, as far as I can tell this game contains nothing worth mentioning on the lore side.
