Cosmetic microtransactions are still microtransactions, but thereвЂ™s very little stopping you from playing LOR or HS at a competitive level whilst enjoying the product freely. Much of the monetized product in LOR comes in the form of new boards, animated companions, and preconstructed intro-decks. Even when I took a monthвЂ™s break from the game and game back to play with the first expansion, by the end of my first stream I had 80% of the cards I needed for the new deck I wanted (Shadow Isles and Bildgewater because IвЂ™m a Nautilus Fanboy edgelord) without having to buy a single wild-card. Within a week of the gameвЂ™s launch I had a high tier deck in the regions I wanted (Shadow Isles and Ionia because I am an edgelord).

I found a remarkably similar experience with RiotвЂ™s recent offering of Legends of Runeterra. I made it to platinum a couple of seasons and, whilst thatвЂ™s not an unthinkable feat, I was pretty content with the balance between the difficulty of getting to higher ranks and the ease of getting the kinds of decks together that I could use to reach those higher ranks.

This also meant that, when I did have a series of rough runs, grinding the gold back up was never a chore because I had a variety of fun and competitive decks to climb the ladder on. I liked the limited format Hearthstone offered at the time, and I could pretty regularly make my investment and then some back on runs, to the point where I could build up my collection pretty rapidly exclusively through playing The Arena. The option was always there to spend ВЈ30 and speed up the process (which is a separate and predatory issue that people like Jimquisition have discussed in depth over on his channel) but I never felt like I had to. I played it to death and, despite never spending a penny on it, I rarely had to grind for more than a week or so to get enough packs and dust when new expansions came out.

It was around this time Hearthstone, arguably the gunshot that set off an avalanche of free to play & exclusively online CCGs of the mid 2010вЂ™s, dropped. ItвЂ™s just a fact that I, a uni-student by the time I started getting into playing CCGs online, was a lot more interested in the prospect of games, sold as вЂњfree to playвЂќ that I could realisticallyвЂ¦ you knowвЂ¦ play for free. This isnвЂ™t to say that this kind of business model is a good or a bad thing necessarily.

This is still the case today, with the budget Blue White Fliers deck setting you back $49, although most of that is on the four copies of Hallowed Fountain.

IвЂ™ve played many вЂњfree to playвЂќ games in the past, many вЂњfree to playвЂќ collectable card games in the past, and Magic Arena is the only one where I feel like the word вЂњfreeвЂќ is less of a legitimate way to play, and more of a technically correct description.Д«efore Magic Arena came out, the only вЂlegitimateвЂ™ way to play Magic: the Gathering online was through MTGO which, whist free to download and start playing, required you to drop $50, $75, $100 for even вЂbudgetвЂ™ decklists.
