I just want to say i really appreciate it you all thinking of how to help new players.
In june i bought a gold subscription for a month, and didn't learn that much because it was way to much new cards. I tried sometimes practicing on only one of two expansions but because i didn't have the patience for waiting for an opponent at a table, so i mostly played bot games and didn't learn very much. Now i bought a silver subscription for a month and have the feeling i improve a lot more.
8. There won't be any cheaper subscription models. That's just an economical argument - Silver and Gold are already so cheap that almost nobody will reject it because of the amount. If people don't subscribe it's because they just don't want to pay for various reasons. And people playing with less cards aren't actually cheaper to support for me then people playing with all cards (assuming those cards get implemented anyway).
I personally would like a subscription model where i could choose the expansions, so for example silver subscription = you choose 4 expansions (price would of course be different depending on the expansions). That way it would be easier for new players to focus on some expansions and learn the game gradually. So, for me it's actually not an economical argument to not go for the gold subscription, it's a practical "getting-to-know-the-game"-argument. In the long term i probably would buy more full gold subscription if i first could subscribe to not all expansions at one time.
