Truly a fantastic game

I love everything about this app. The collecting mechanic is amazing, much much better then Pokémon live. The ability to purchase individual cards is much needed.

I like the fact that the first player is not able to attach an energy on the first turn. It helps keeps energy costs low. The only reason to get rid of it is so you can use over powered cards easier.

I also love how the design is more slick and basic. I'm personally not the biggest fan of avatars (unless you're using them sarcastically).

I also appreciate that theres no mulligans in this game, it's a pretty cool feature honestly. I know theres strategy to mulligans but its pretty cool to see the company design the card game to completely utilize being a digital game. Removing mulligans isn't really something you can do with physical cards.
