Haha, awesome, mate! Glad you liked some of those cards - I guess it is not tooooooo surprising that they had fierce competition for their artist!
Oh, Gods Unchained, wow, well if it was not for all the little ETH bonuses they offered at the beginning I would be pretty unhappy about that game. Rewards that are worth nothing are easy to get and the market for cards is brutal. Yay, I can sell a card for .00000002 ETH! They had a promotion where if you win 15 ranked matches per week for 4 weeks you would get 50 $GODS - my strategy was to buy cards with Gods and sell them for ETH and at least get some value above gas fees from my year+ playing (not very often, but still...). Prices collapsed again and again and again.
But it is a well developed game for sure. The new cards are overpowered relative to the old and free cards so winning consistently is hard, but it is a complex game. Never seems to take off though, like you said.
When is Ninjago coming to crypto? hahaha
