The game's design, particularly the collection of varied card qualities, utilizes variable reward mechanics that can be highly engaging and potentially lead to extended play. The competitive PvP environment may also expose players to social comparison and competitive toxicity. While the game explicitly states no microtransactions, the inherent design of a collectible card game can still encourage significant time investment.
