Card game formula is traditionally founded on top of Attack - Block systems; Faeria's combat is founded on position.
Resource systems are traditionally measured from turn to turn(x amount one turn, x plus x amount following turns).
Faeria is different here, too. Main resource accumulates turn over turn - Players' planning metric is shifted from value/turn to value/game.
Absolutely unique art style, particularly with the core set of cards. Beautiful is actually selling it short.
I first played in 2017, caught a Kripparian(hearthstone) stream playing this game. That was at peak players.
I have played Magic: the Gathering & Hearthstone - no other card games seem any good.
All the card games are full of cutesy anime ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ now. The days have gone down.
Faeria has since died. Not coming back. Queue times for ranked games are 2-4min. Can still find a game.
Last checked the forums and discord are active(ish) - Can still find a community.
This game deserves to supplant Hearthstone, but people don't want a hard game.
Unfortunately, card games belong to the losers of society.
I believe it will get worse. Look at what happened to Magic. It took less than a decade for Commander to swallow every single new player to the game. Now all people can do is play games that let them play out power fantasies.
Bunch of n-words(nerds), man.
Oh well. Back to Magic: the Gathering, for as long as it lasts.
