I see a lot of complaints about the upcoming collector boosters, serialized cards, and scalpers...

I just played for the first time at a store event, and I had a blast. The gameplay was way better than I expected, and the chance of a non-game was too much lower than with MtG.

And you know what else? You can have a very competitive experience with a low-cost deck! I have played MtG for years and always accepted that I'll never have expensive shock lands and pricey mythics. But when I wheeled up with my penny decks, they actually competed with some of my opponents! It was amazing!

So I guess what I'm saying is: there may be some stuff going wrong, but Lorcana has got a lot of things going right for it. And that's awesome.

I know it's late, but I finally had a chance to try our the beta, and the Danes were SO MUCH FUN.

As I was playing, I noticed several things that are already better in games like AoM and could be ported to AoE3. Here's some ideas:

• More colors for skirmish mode (so you don't get stuck waiting for people to figure out their color. Alternately, automatically assign friend/foe colors within a color palette (blue/red, like Zero-K does)
• Have a slider that sets your preferred number of villagers, and your TCs automatically spend resources to build them on repeat build (like AoM, but better)
• Click and drag to place multiple of a building (e.g. houses)
• Right-clicking on an improvement puts it into a purchase queue, and will be automatically bought as soon as resources are available (in the order you entered them into the queue if same cost)
• when you click on "select idle villager", automatically select all idle villagers in a small radius. This would be such a time savings when late game and you have a pile of villagers who were supposed to gather at a mill but ran out of mill spots, but it's hard tell at a glance who's gathering from who's not.

What other QOL features do you hope to see?

What are your favorite cards that you've never quite made work? I'd love to take a stab at making decks with them. Try to keep suggestions to cards with a value below $0.50, because that clearly means that they're cards that the rest of the community hasn't really gotten to work yet either.
