EDIT: As of 4/22/2016, Plat pricing on the steam client is now in line with the standalone!

Dont let the game time fool you, I've put a ridiculous amount of time into this game since last september.
Hex got me hooked almost immediately. As a long-time MTG player (started around 1st Mirrodin block) I was able to pick up the basics of the game fairly quickly. But even now I'm still discovering new card interactions and ways to play. Don't get me wrong, I adore Magic, but I've drifted away from the card shop scene, and Magic's digital offerings are completely garbage. Hex, while fairly similar to Magic in many ways (part of the appeal to me imho), has enough uniqueness to both set it apart from Magic and elevate it in many ways.
Hex fully embraces the possibilities of a digital-only card game, and I can't wait to see what Primal Dawn (set 4) will bring to the table.

Pros:
-Digital nature allows for some truly bonkers card design. Super fun!
-Collection has real value
-PvP is competitive and fun, even though I still suck at limited :P. Will be even better once ladders are implemented.
-PvE was a blast my first time through, and I still keep coming back with new characters and decks. Lots of potential. Wish there were more character slots though.
-Legitimately one of the best communities in gaming. You run into the occasional salt factory in pvp every so often, but most people are super friendly and willing to help out newbies. When I first started people were giving me tons of tips that really helped me learn the game. A few players even sent me cards to fill out my collection some more! Now that I'm a more established player I've been doing that myself.
-Dev team listens to players and are very passionate about their game.

Cons
-A little bit more RNG than I'd like in some of the card designs.
-Devs can be slow to release content and are a bit afraid to post release dates for content, which is a source of frustration among the community. I'm sympathetic, and the devs are definitely making an effort to improve this, but this could turn off some people.

A note for new players: Presumably due to the cut that steam takes out of sales, you get about 10% less plat when purchasing through the steam game client than you would in the standalone client or on the website. I would recommend players to go to us.hex.gameforge.com, visit the "my account" page, and click 'top up on plat' for any plat purchasing. More money for Hex Ent, more plat for you, everyone wins! (cept steam)

Some new player resources:

fiveshards.com - Articles and podcasts almost daily from some of Hex's best players. They also host free constructed weekly tourneys, which are great fun.

hexmeta.com - Up-to-date decklists and other info on the hex constructed scene. A great resource for keeping track of the constructed meta.

hexprice.com - Price tracking and history for just about any tradeable item in Hex. Great for those looking to get good deals on the AH.

hex.tcgbrowser.com - Probably the site I use the most. You can set up an api to import your card collection and automatically maintain a wishlist/tradelist that syncs as your collection grows. I make tons of trades using this feature alone. On top of that you can look up any card in the game, brew decks and analyse them, and view tons of player decks for both PVE and PVP.

hexprimal.com - You can buy or sell cards/equipment here, and they periodically post articles about the hex economy and guides for PvP and PvE decks. Highly recommend their pve campaign series for new players.

hextcg.com - The official website, with regular contributions from the community and updates from the dev team. I check it daily!

board.hex.gameforge.com - The official forums, very active! You can find just about anything you could want here.

twitch.tv/hextcg - Hex has a great community of streamers! Dinotropia, SilentSnake76, Sithos, Alucard, infam0usn3o, and many others stream regularly and are very welcoming for new players!

That about sums it up! For any new players, feel free to message me ingame (IGN: Stigro) if you have any questions! Welcome to Hex! :)
