I think this game is one of best games that you can win at without the use of paying to win. That said, I haven't spent any amount of money on this game and I won alot of times. If you don't want to spend money on this game, you just have to grind abit and learn about what each card can do in a match. Either lose and be a sore loser or flip the game around and learn about the cards and characters and win.
