This is a great first deck builder with a really fun theme. If you have played more "advanced" deck builders, this will seem overly simple.
I agree 100% with the first statement, but don't have the experience to agree or disagree with the second.
I played this for the first time a few nights ago, and I thought it was a great intro to the deckbuilding genre. The owner had tried to introduce me to Dominion some time ago, and all I got out of that game was a bunch of obtuse concepts and a headache. After another game or two of DC, I think I would feel ready for Dominion.
The only thing I felt was missing from the rulebook was a glossary of terms. It wasn't clear to me what "gain" really meant--if the card goes into your hand or into the discard pile. After finding a way to break the game by assuming "into your hand", it became clear any "gained" card should go to the discard pile as well.
