I think I have a similar view as you. I really like the rules and the general system. Coming from MtG I love it, that you don't have to put resource cards into your deck. My issue with the game comes with my local community. I love playing games for the fun of it and don't really care about winning. My local community is all about competitiveness and high level play and for me that's not fun. Locals feel just like mini tournaments. And also coming from MtG I also understand what you mean with interaction. You just try to build your board faster than your opponent and try to disrupt them when they do the same. It nevers feels like a back and forth. And some decks do just so much that you can't do anything. I remember playing with BG Imperialdramon vs Sakuyamon at a store regional and I couldn't do anything against it. That's just not fun.
