We should play some time, if you decide to keep playing. :) I was playing daily for a few months, but haven't been even collecting the login rewards lately. I do like the game, just not the random matchups with human players and playing the computer gets dull.

The daily grinding is the worst. Getting the full free benefit takes three games, so you make a hamstrung deck, make the AI use it, set it to "Easy", and knock it out three mindless times every single day. Sure, you could play real games instead. Those aren't as boring, but you won't necessarily win them either, and since the whole point of daily grinding is getting more cards to help you win in that very arena...

But yeah, we should play.

I usually played on Hard after a couple of weeks, since I liked playing against the computer for quite a while. I'd only switch over to easy to knock out games if I got bored or didn't have enough time.
