Not pay to win

I am seeing a TON of negative reviews out there. Most of them are 1 star and they all say stuff about how legendary cards are too hard to get/cost too much. Here are a few things to think about:

1. Legendaries are hard to get, but every 400 chests you are guaranteed to get one. This means that through just playing the game you are guaranteed to get a legendary card.

2. Legendaries are not necessary to advance in trophies in this game. I have only been playing for about a week and a half and I am 2/3 of the way to legendary arena(the place where you can straight up buy legendary cards). I really want a lava hound but it isnt necessary for me to succeed in this game. I am only rank 6. Which isnt even enough for me to participate in tournaments.

3. Everything has a counter. This means that if you are struggling vs a certain card/strategy then there is still a way to beat it. There are a lot of resources online that can tell you how to deal with certain strategies. For example graveyard: take a minion hoard(a common, easy to get card) and put it in the middle of their graveyard. Then you will have totally neutralized the spell.

4. A lot of people might just look at this and say "he is addicted to the game". To answer this: I was very, very, very skeptical of this game at first and thought it was just one of many other play to win games made by a company that was just trying to make money. I then watched some of my friends play it and decided to try it out. I found out quickly that it was not pay to win in the slightest.

5. Be patient. Given an infinite amount of chests, you are guaranteed a legendary card. It has to come at some point. It must eventually happen.

Go get the game, you will love it, maybe it will become a hobby. But it is incredibly rewarding to get a legendary after working hard to get one. 5/5 :)
