Starts as skill turns to money – Stormbound Review

The game is amazing with the variety of cards and strategy you can implement into your decks to out play your opponent. And it stays this way up until you hit iron rank and then it turns into a cash game where skill just doesn’t matter anymore. Example would be a card called veteran of war it originally costs 7 gems to play and gives you a 8 power creature with 1 movement but if you have invested a good amount of money and upgrades it you will easily be able to overpower a player who hasn’t spent money as each upgrade boosts its power by two. And this is the same with all the cards in the game. And this wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t nearly impossible to upgrade cards without spending money. Anyways it’s a great game it just saddens me to see it turn from a genuinely fun strategy to a money game where skill only gets you so far.
