But I also enjoy playing competitive modes and meta decks which I do need cards to do. Janky decks are fun but I still need cards to build those too lol. The starting player experience definitely feels like "how do I spend gold the most efficiently to get the most cards as possible". I mean the starter decks are fun but I'm not looking to only play those for the next year straight either.

I know you're being silly and exaggerating, and I also understand your frustration. The actual truth is still longer than it should be, but I'd realistically estimate 2 and a half months for a new f2p player to assemble their first 100% meta deck.

The game is for sure trying to trick you into wanting to spend money. Don't listen to it

For me, those two months were fun because I enjoyed just getting good games with whatever jank deck I could make with the cards I already had. It would be punishing if I were dreaming of being a F2P tournament pro immediately. I don't think you're aiming for that

Due to the way the wildcard system works, on your way to getting enough of any particular wildcard type, you'll accrue enough random cards to at least test out any other kind of deck, minus some of the rares and mythics. Your second complete deck is infinitely easier to assemble than the first

building up 10k gold takes like 2 weeks of daily quests.

i feel like i'm splitting hairs, and my point is that the rate shouldn't really matter, but you do get as much gold from daily wins as daily quests. your first 4 wins total to 550 gold. 10k gold takes 5 days or less. unless i'm misremembering and new players get some kind of different daily/weekly win rewards from everyone else
