Considering how big sets have gotten over the last couple of years, it's hard not to see a connection there. This means that bigger expansions are more diluted and therefore cost more. It also makes it so that players will essentially need a master set of four copies of every card each in order to start consistently earning crystals. For one thing, it makes smaller sets like Celebrations extraordinarily valuable, since it's much easier to collect the entire expansion and start farming crystals. The crafting system was described as a work in progress, and the development team has already run into some issues with it. Anything beyond the fourth copy of a card will automatically convert into crystals. You can also earn crystal anytime you open a pack and find a duplicate. These crystals can then be spent to craft any card they want.
Rather than trading dozens of packs for a single in-meta card, players will now earn crystals by playing the game and progressing the season track. While TCG Online had a thriving secondary marketplace of people trading their cards, TCG Live instead uses a crafting system so that players have a more deterministic way of getting the cards they want. The big change from PTCGO is, of course, the removal of player-to-player trading. It feels great to flick the screen to play cards or tap to blow them up for easier readability, and while I didn’t see it working on a phone, the developer walking me through the demo said that cards scale to actual, printed size when playing on mobile, so they’re just as easy to read. Simple things like highlighting your optional abilities to make it easier to understand and tool tips are available to remind you about mechanics and rules you may have forgotten.
