Hey Emil! I finnally mannaged to hook my ppals on thi game all over again, the first time they gave up cause there was no spectate mode and we couldn’t have fun watching each other, will the spectator mode be coming soon?
Otherwise, great patch, I have nothing to complain about, that’s saying a lot.
MarkII generals look so cool!
Lots of good points made here. If I may interject one…
I think it’s very important that spirit continue to be usable for cosmetics. There needs to be an outlet for players who accumulate cards faster than they can use them. This game is quite generous when it comes to card drops, which is part of what attracts new players (it is true for me and others have told me so). That means experienced players will have more spirit than they can reasonably use and they need something to spend it on.
Cosmetic embellishments are exactly the right thing for this, a way of showing off one’s veteran status without affecting gameplay. Similarly, allowing their purchase for cash helps fund development without creating imbalances.
wait, no balance change?
I heard Devs would balance change End-Season patch
I’m sad now 
Almost no one accumulates cards faster than you can use them. I’ve spent like $150, play daily for 6 months, and still don’t have everything
If you’re going for pure cheese (cloning the metadecks and nothing else), the vast majority of the cards are cards you’ll never use, thus accumulating those cards is, definitionally, accumulating them faster than you can use them.
Same logic applies to single-faction fans, and probably a few fringe groups I’m not aware of. The point is, not everyone is a completionist, and there’s a lot of flex to the concept of “using them.”
I’m new so I can’t say for sure. But I have read of people earning 4-5 orbs a day through gauntlet, and I saw a pic earlier in the week of someone with over 1,000 of a particular card. Add in prizes and so forth and it suggests to me some people have a LOT of spirit (either already disenchanted or “on the hoof”).
Buyed the Vaath-Skin 
First time spending Money on the game but dont regred it and i support the devs…love it…love the decks that will rise with the monthly cards…the first time all monthlys are good…

It is better for you sure, but my opinion is that CP is giving away a lot of his revenue by doing this. It is largely accepted by F2P players that cosmetic can be only bought with money (in fact it is the model chosen by the vast majority of F2P games for a reason). Considering the very high price tag on the cosmetic and the fact that you can buy them with spirit, veteran players have almost no reason to break their wallet while they would have probably done it otherwise. For example the only cosmetic I bought was a avatar for 500 spirit , if I could not buy it for spirit I would have bought for 1 dollar maybe even 2.
It’s not better for me personally, I have no spirit AND no interest in cosmetics. 
It is good for the game because players who earn excess cards need something they can convert them into. If they can’t, they get frustrated or bored and they leave.
All in all I thought this was a great patch with meta relevant cards and some really nice cosmetic features ( the MK2 generals look sick VAATH SMASH!!! 
) the s rank issue does stink since the point system starts this month. But I think it’s a great final tune up before the expansion. Well played Counterplay ️
They all look great, looking forward to buying the Vanar ones to support my favorite faction.
Already saw them in some games. So good!
Lost my cool and opened a chest. Got a Healing Mystic emote, all is great today.
