I'm a bit torn on this. On the one hand, it seems like it would be fun to battle friends, and I understand there's a built in design for the "collectible" aspect that I really can't be upset about.
On the other hand, the entire ad was about the "shiney collectibles" aspect, and the actual utility of those cards (ie, battling) was barely an afterthought. That doesn't say great things about their priorities here.
I mean I know they said battling would be streamlined, but realistically the entire format is basically already laid out for them, since it's literally just taking the tcg and making it digital. As a result, there's very little to actually show off on the front of gameplay, especially considering that everyone who cares probably already plays tcg online anyway.
