Missions are RNG based, meaning that usually it is not matter of skill, but whatever you get hit by random AoE effect. I restarted around 7 times that damn mission and still cannot believe how badly story mode is designed. Massive difficulty spikes, blatantly and unashamenly cheating AI which gets random +2\/+2 buffs to their cards. Random AoE damage which renders any strategy as pointless. <br><br>This is just straw which broke camel&#8217;s back. Game&#8217;s art is questionable and looks cheap.
