The verdict
A fast Marvel Snap-meets-Hearthstone lane card game where every playable card is free and only cosmetics cost money. Skip it if you distrust trading/grading economies or want a big card pool.
Great for
Fans of Marvel Snap, Hearthstone or Artifact who want a free, non-P2W competitive card game with quick matches
Main risk
Small card pool and a collectible-driven economy that some players see as a cash grab
