    When they say f2p they really mean it. Just broke top 100 earlier today, haven't spent a dime. In game currency is grindable at a bearable rate. The nux is fairly good. No replay value but it gets you rdy for pvp well enough. The cards art is animated which is cool. I happen to like the artistic style as well. Each faction has it's own core strategy but they combIne together well. I actually dnot mind 'splits' in that game, perhaps because I'm not financially locked into just one or two in order to be competitive. It's a card flip game but there are several zones of play which affords strategic choices each turn. It can appear too heavily luck based but like poker, it can be mitigated with smart play ( not just better cards). The playerbase is large and there are many different modes of play ( merged, draft, constructed, etc). There are several different options for game speed within the ranked queue.

    I don't compare it to pox though. Pox is a turn based strategy game first and foremost.

    I've been in it's beta for about a month or two (sorry wasn't really keeping track -w-), it isn't a bad CCG but I feel that a lot of it's features need fine tuning, a few things with the interface needed work and sadly the matches I've played just seem to go by and I have no idea what I did to win or lose. I do like the PvE modes so I have a place to practice.

    now that you have had a taste of Pox 3.0 and what its going to cost.... ive dabbled in hearthstone, solforge, kings and legends. Infinity wars beats them all in their f2p model, their artistic style, and fun of gameplay. ~1200 players on line at any given time, and not bs'ing in the general chat or observing games, but actually playing. Oh also, their draft feature lets you play until you lose 3 games. which means you literally can go infinite. I think it takes something like 30 wins to make the draft deck free. the highest ive heard of is 150 wins or something like that. I suck at draft and usually stick to constructed (my flamedawn is strong), but I figured I should mention draft for those so inclined.

    Some cool stuff there, I guess I'll have to give the game another shot since I never dug that deep into some of the other features.

    If you're going to draft I think the prevailing wisdom is to take at least 1 verore commander and load up on removal spells.

    As someone who have been playing Infinity Wars since May, I highly recommend looking at Infinity Wars for what it is and not start thinking "This is just like other CCGs".
    I have seen far too many people make that mistake, believing the game is something it is not and not seeing what really makes Infinity Wars great. A lot of parts in game might not seem original and used in other games, but the way they are used is very great.

    the campaign games is my first suggestion. You'll want those freebie cards to get started anyway. flamedawn is pretty strong rusher in the lower ranks. and verore has a lot of nasty removal stuff. depends on your tastes really. I like playing most of the factions except warpath (too KF like for my taste). and for some reason I just cant be competitive with exiles. I don't know if its a lack of key cards or just not getting their pacing. I do best with pure flamedawn but have just about capped how far up in rank I can go with that so im starting to splash in some verore. there is a pretty cool sleepers-genesis deck that uses zomb-be-gone grenades, but I still need 3x of some key cards to really make it work.
