Yes! See what I meant, prices do go up sometimes... Reminds me to put up my archers for sale (for six cents, of course, driving the price back down again, hehehe!) Don't worry, I'm not that desperate to sell them, though someone else might...
Thanks for continuing this experiment, and reporting about it regularly. It makes me feel less frustrated about the closing doors on the game. But as I mentioned before, I'm sure other people feel turned off too, and let's face it: if they stop coming the sm team will have to implement other changes. Seeing how dynamic things are, I wouldn't be surprised about things getting a bit less restrictive.
By the way, you keep talking about a full deck. Do you mean by that owning every single card of a certain splinter? Do players actually do that? Looking at my collection, it's mostly made up of common and rare cards, with the Divine Sorceress and Lord Arianthus being the only exceptions. Needless to say, I got them as rewards, and I'm not particularly keen about either. Otherwise I've always considered epics and legendaries to be too expensive to bother. Though I may have to reconsider, as it's getting harder to get through the gold league.
