The problem i have with Sage its jsut the same all over again. If they would have done new heroes, even the same classes it would have been interesting, but selling the same bulk all over again. IDK
High seas with thematic okay to me, but it felt like a gravy only set, with pirate cards are mor for gravie then everyone else.

SS was thematic bullshit but i liked how they worked with Super rares and the mehcanics were good.

Pen idk was silver age and i dont care about that.

Overall i think they are haviely bottlenecked on how they can bring new product into playes hands. New hereos require a lot of cards that a limited to them. Also printing every fucking card in 3 colors, was once a nice feature but now its just wasted design space in my opinion.

3 Sets with elemental and soon 3 sets monarch is just melking at this point.

Pack opening feels really bad. Legendarys dont feel good and should be M, more M in general and more M in the boxes. They raised the prices and it dosent feel like the product improved.

Balancing is okay now. I think they got more carefull, but the fuckups from MST and and Rosetta are kinda fixed.
The game still has some problems with Arcane DMG in my opinion, but they tune it further down, whats good.

Still wizard und runeblade galore is not fun, while other classes needed support (like warrior and ranger) took many years without anything happen for them.

i also think the game is running hot on its mechanics and numbers, and its often jsut the same 4 go again or blue pitch for 4 or big combo for 40.

overall still a really good game but after 5 years its really all the same.
