SolForge Community Deck Review: Ironmind Intuition
You'll need to put up a $20 entry fee (includes 5600 Gold) and be among the first 256, the maximum amount of contestants the tournament allows. The game is on, with qualifiers starting July 26 and August 30, both dates at 9 a.m. PDT. Check out the tournament web page for all the details!
I've been playing SolForge for weeks now at a pretty consistent rate (76 hours logged, according to Steam, making it my most played Steam game ever - though that's probably also due to the fact that it's on in the background at all times while I do other stuff). I have RARELY won a match, but I do enjoy myself between work assignments, even as I lose pretty much constantly. It's easy to learn and the art on the cards is quite gorgeous. Should I check out Hearthstone, you guys?
