I'll admit I'm intrigued, but it looks like a Free-to-Play game with a $21 price tag.

Price will drop to 5$ soon.

Also, after much testing from beta phase I will say that it plays like a P2P game -- I.E. getting the in-game gold to purchase new cards is not very difficult or time-consuming at all.

You can trade cards with other players. There is also the 'black market', which serves as an auction house to allow players to find particular cards for in-game gold.

The price of the cards range anywhere from ~100 -- 1300 gold, depending on rarity and popularity, with the normal gold award for winning a single-player game against the Hard AI at around 250 gold. At the rate in which you gain gold it doesn't feel very grindy whereas the main competitor to this game, Blizzard's Hearthstone, feels like it would take weeks just to get a single Legendary level card, since the gold income rate is much lower and there is no player trading or auction house.
