Some great reviews recently by players with a lot of experience in TCGs

A card game with serious depth and as little luck as possible, gorgeous artwork, not a pay to win! Give it a try, if you even slightly interested

Have been playing for years now. Donated to the kickstarter campaign as well for the second expansion. This game has steady progressed and has gotten better. Not a money pit either. You can get as pretty far grinding it out and if you choose to buy things (you probably will want to, it is that great) your money goes a long way. Not to mention, you can play on virtually any platform also. Get this game, you will not be disappointed.

This game set a huuuuge standard for me when it was released. There was nothing like it, and as an experienced paper TCG player (Magic: The Gathering Yu-Gi-Oh, World of Warcraft TCG, Pokémon, etc) I was a little iffy about getting into a mobile version of a card game, but this was fair, didn't take long to get a collection going and more importantly? It is super fun. Incredibly fun. It mashed two of my personal favourite TCG's together in a beautiful fashion; Magic, and the WoW TCG. The resource system is beautiful, no strategy is too broken in competitive play, and the Dev has released consistent enough manner to be able to keep up with current stuff, without the older sets being forgotten. It's still going strong, and I still to this day enjoy it. It's been years. I've played in some tournaments (not super successfully
) and just simply have had fun. It's a good TCG. If you're remotely into them, try them. I love Hearthstone and other mobile TCG's as well. But Shadow Era will always have my heart on the phone/PC screen.
