Hey Everyone.
Been playing for years now and just decided to register to the forum. Just thought I`d start up a discussion on if Elements became a TCG or LCG. Thoughts? Pros and cons?

openEtG is a TCG

In general it doesn't matter. EtG's grinding has always been about upgrades, so it's mostly a matter of electrum. Now that arena's down that's moot. oetg is moves grinding towards cosmetics. A good card game shouldn't put pvp behind grind to win or pay to win. Unfortunately the money in card games decides to go for the easy bait of putting the money in getting cards rather than taking a lesson from LoL & keeping money for cosmetic cards

Imagine if Hearthstone or MTGA made cards freely available, leaving buy in for golden cards, alternative art, etc. That's much more important than whether players can trade amongst themselves to counteract variance

Ah I should have been more clear, my apologies!

I meant should it become a physical card game; to go along with the online tcg; similar to what the card game Chaotic was doing. It seems to have a strong following online. I wonder if it would translate to a physical card game. Of course doing so would require potentially more card releases or something to keep interest up in an offline tcg.

This game wouldn't be too interesting as a paper CCG. The gameplay itself isn't very interactive at all. This would be a way worse MtG (way cheaper as well).
