Whilst it’s still got a long way to go before it catches up with Clash of Clans, we’re already seeing some exciting new cards being introduced to the game and positive changes to the loot system which will make it far more rewarding for players. Your chances of picking up a rare card have gone up massively now super magical chests a more common sight, so there’s even more incentive to keep playing.
