From a MtG background this game is great. There are UI issues that, knowing Valve, will be addressed ad-hoc as the game evolves (e.g. the tutorial doesn't really say where debuffs on heroes/creeps are, and the UI doesn't really do a good job of showing positive/negative debuffs).
Lore is heavy from DOTA, and it feels it. Not just blocks of text, but amazingly well acted voice lines in what feels like everything.
Deck designing is fun and evolves the more you see of the game and realize there isn't one 'right way' to play.
Worth the price alone even if you don't plan on buying any more cards and want to stick to free/bot modes. That said, the fact it's market enabled is going to make this game last.
