When people say this game has pricing and monetization issues, they are for the most part wrong. Compared to Hearthstone or Gwent or MTGA, where the only way to get cards is to buy packs either through grinding or real money, Artifact has a much better model. You can get any card in the game whenever you want for less than $0.50 for the most part. There are a few cards like Axe that are >$10 at the time of writing this review, but that price will go down, and he isn't even 100% needed in every deck. In addition, you get $20 worth of packs when you buy the game, as well as tickets to play events with rewards. So you get more than the value of the game in cards/tickets when you buy. Also what others seem to forget is that there is a completely free draft mode that everyone can play. Draft is the most balanced mode because everyone is on the same playing field regarding picks. This game is more expensive than Hearthstone or Gwent if you would never pay for those anyway, but you have to consider how much your time is worth. if you grinded for 10 hours for that card you want in another game, even at minimum wage thats at least $80 you could spend on over half of a complete collection of the first set in Artifact. I think that this game is priced and monetized very fairly, as most good decks will cost less than $10 and you can get them right away. I would highly recommend this game to anyone that like in depth card games.
