After playing the game for a year you will count yourself lucky to get 2 points on the tree a month. I just hate everything about the whole reward tree concept.
That is completely untrue, I'm not sure how it was in the past (and some people had issues with it), but right now, 1. Each "round" victory gives you a crown (each game consists of 3 rounds, bo3) 2. For each 6 rounds you win every day, then 12 rounds after that. And, then 24 rounds after that You get (2-2-1) rp. 3. While, the reward points do decrease, they are still plenty, I've been playing for 150 hours already, and I've been getting plenty of reward points, through contracts, and levelling up, which becomes easier everytime you reach level 60, as it resets, you get a bonus, and it repeats.
Each rp corresponds to 50/66/75 ore (pack paying currency, each pack is 100 ore and gives you 5 cards, the fifth you can pick 1 out of 3 cards at least rare), depends on how you're using it, and that's not counting even the daily quests.
It feels like lots of people has tried this game in the past, in beta/start of homecoming? but now it is much more balanced, and has changed a plenty since then. Plenty of beta/homecoming players have returned since then.

If my deck is not favorable against your deck, and we both play perfectly, then I will lose every single time and there is nothing I can do about it.
That is theoretically true, however, it depends on playing "perfectly". Look at chess, it has the same argument, but like 99% do not play perfectly. In gwent, there are many layers of skill, you need to learn when to pass, when to bleed, to predict opponent cards, etc... Actually, I've managed to beat many decks that should've "beaten" me, because I outplayed them. This feels much much more satisfying than just winning because of "luck". And, sure you might get lucky and beat a superior deck, but the chance of them beating you (by luck as well) is much larger. But more importantly, deck building contributes largely against this issue, okay sure, you keep facing a deck that is consistently beating you. Just put in a few cards that tech about it, switch around your deck, plan around the meta, etc... I find this so accessible, and requires different skills on top of it.
1. Super f2p friendly, it is probably the most f2p friendly card game right now. rewards and packs keep dropping from nowhere, you can craft a meta deck in no time.
2. Mostly skill-based, every game I lose, I know why I lost, I could've played things differently etc... It has almost no rng.
3. Beautiful artwork and sounds.
4. It has awesome developers, focusing on developing and balancing the game.
5. Deckbuilding is super fun, there are many layers of deckbuilding.
6. On the appstore, it has a rating of 4.8 (coming to android in first quarter of 2019, it is available for PC)
Here are some reviews of people who have played this game, articulating their thoughts better than mine:
Do you guys just play in the lower ranks then? Of the few legendarys (and epics) you must have as a F2P player what decks can you create?
I'm rank 5 right now, using midrange hunter. I decided not to craft Zilliax, Hagatha or any of the other important year of the raven cards (the mechs come to mind). because they would be only useful for like 8 months. I already had dr.op and Zuljin though.
24 mins with rogue, Garr destroyed me the first 3 times then I got lucky with a very aggressive start and managed to kill him by turn 4.
took more time than I should in the last two bosses, they were quite easy but I wanted to be careful because I had plenty of time left and wanted to finish it in one run.
For me, I got most of the important cards, missing few mage and rogue cards and the bomb package for warrior. but should have enough dust to craft them. Probably will open RoS packs as much as I can till the expansion release, craft what I need left. then start collecting the new cards.
So yesterday I got 80 gold from someone trying to complete battle a friend, went on an arena run, draft a fun deck, got a good result, got 2 epics and legendaries in my pack. and I didn't have any of them.
Can you just make the visit out of cards doesn't redirect you to the homepage? Since the giveaway on outof.cards, by clicking the button you've already visited it?
I thought of playing the game at one point and watched a few gamethroughs of it, but got turned down when I noticed that the community isn't that active in the recent years and the recent reviews on steam doesn't help. If It was a game with more-active players and a better future I might have actually given it a try.
I've played around 70+ arena runs so far, and I didn't use heartharena because I was learning out the game-mode. However, in each game, there's some sort of a skill-cap on what you can learn by yourself, and what you can learn by using guides etc...
So should I use HearthArena or not? It does feel a little counter-intuitive as it would make me a worse player, too dependant on the thing.
Bit of a clarification there

How do you actually edit pre-existing cards while keeping things smooth, I've tried the card generator but it only generates new cards.
So yesterday I got 80 gold from someone trying to complete battle a friend, went on an arena run, draft a fun deck, got a good result, got 2 epics and legendaries in my pack. and I didn't have any of them.
Tried it out and it is quite fun, and it has lots of potential.
But it gets stuck once I finish the tutorial (and the easy-mode solo).
I was thinking something with Jepetto or potential battlecry combos in the future. the card is terrible but there should be a way to make use of it.

Well, color me enlightened, I didn't know it saw play in the high levels. I thought it was just one of those cards that never saw play at all.

Whirliglider is quite similar to Bomb Toss. Replacing a 2-damage with a 2/1 minion.
While classic cards are known to be weaker than class cards, I think (and you'll agree) that this card is underpowered.
If it is to be given mech, then it would suddenly become more plausible, you'll get 2 mechs to magnetize later.
This isn't a troll thread btw xD. I need you to take this seriously, and tell me valid logical counterarguments.
So, is this enough?
Going first is now more horrifying than ever in such a tempo mech meta.
