Polygon plays Battle Spirits Saga with ProZDFrom polygon.com
Battle Spirits Saga has done a somewhat high-profile blitz to publicize general release at the end of the month, followed by a tournament with some serious money on the line (though, how the meta will even be there at that point in the release cycle is deeply beyond me).
The fact the tournament is going to be in Las Vegas — the beating heart of MtG’s in-person cycle — has not escaped me.
This was my first brush with actual gameplay, and while it is interesting — cards wax and wane in power depending on your resource usage! — it looked to me like a bit of a nightmare to keep track of the shifting board state, since basically all cards can potentially change in relevance and meaning any time another card is played.
