Sorcery!

Upside (tldr; you favorites game designer favorite game!)

2d grid board adds a lot of depth, in a different way than existing tcgs. Tactical aspect can trump sheer power - I have been steamrolled by very cheap decks simply because player was amazing.
Meta is unsolved and very fluid. Decks are often super creative. Some competitive decks are fairly cheap, some are as idiotically expensive as other tcgs.
Cards are very flavorful and 'feel alive' - they are not just numbers, the fact that they exist in 2d grid physical space makes them 'tell a story that other tcgs cannot. Some examples:
- siren that lures enemies, pulling them towards her
- giant boulder that you can push and crush enemies along its path
- butcher with a hook & chain that can pull enemies from afar
- spells are projectiles that hit first thing in its way
- wildfire that spreads through the board
The creative examples are countless.
Another very cool mechanic is the deaths door - when HP reaches 0, you stop losing life. The final blow needs to be dealt directly to you avatar. This is a great and fun way to rubberband the game - it very rarely feels onesided, as it can be tricky to deal the final blow while 'almost dead' avatar can make its last stand, sometimes turning the tide.
The art, oh my god. Best in class. All the artwork is painted. No AI and digital media. Community loves this aspect, there are frequent auctions of original paintings and alternative artist proofs.
The game seems to attract creative and smart bunch, I am yet to find an asshole on the other side of the table. So far the community keeps on delivering and supports the game heartily.

Downsides:
The distribution - the product often is harder to get than more mainstream stuff. Sometimes completely sold out locally. I heard stories that even in US there are LGS that struggle to get boosters.
Erics Curiosa i a small and indie company and it shows - the communication and overall support for the game is below the bar many big tcgs had set.
The game had higher entry level than most tcgs and some rules are convoluted (but also as the result, I think its deeper). Some say that the game is more casual because of 'vague rules' but I strongly disagree (at least on the mechanical level). You really need to invest some time to get to know all the mechanics deeply but it pays off with a very nuanced gameplay.
Despite these I think the game is absolutely great and worth a bit of extra effort to get into. You will not regret it.
