Only 10+ spell I see is Dimension Shift, and it has a spellboost that reduces its cost.
If that's the card then you want to get it in your hand pretty early and get it super low cost so you can play it with a lot of direct damage cards and then repeat with your Dimension Shifted turn.
10 is the max, yeah. If the cost is higher than that, you need to get it down somehow; read the card, it might differ from one to another. For example, I recall that one extra turn spell costs like 18 to start, but goes down by 1 every time you cast another spell while the extra turn one is in your hand.

Story mode seemed decent. Multi is a LOT of fun though.
it's free so maybe? there's bot match too

I've been playing it for a bit. Draft mode is unique and well made. Ladder felt like a worse version of hearthstone. Draft was a compelling experience though and you can play drafts against friends for free.

This is big.
I love how draft isn't a potentially grueling 14 game gauntlet.
me too lol.

draft is when you make a deck from a pool of cards given to you on the spot, instead of playing with a deck you made previously.
rerolling is just resetting the game to get a new set of free packs but you can only do it if you have the mobile version. i wouldn't worry too much about this especially if it's your first card game.
The draft mode is Take Two. You choose cards in pairs and make a deck out of it, then play 5 matches with that deck against others and you get rewards based on how many you win out of 5.
Rerolling is uninstalling the game and then reinstalling the game which resets your initial packs so you can try to get the starting Legendaries you want. I don't know the full specifics on it.

I made this deck and pooped on everything:

I'm a little confused about how Spellboost works. Is it automatically applied?
yup, as long as the card that can be spellboosted was in your hand
the cards will update their current effect values

Yeah. Any time you cast a spell, every spell with spellboost gets a buff. So to win with this deck, you find your combo pieces and delay until you can give yourself multiple turns with 7/7s on the board to end the match.

Got the Prince of Darkness card and uh wow.
In addition playing with the Fairy deck feels weird cause I don't feel like I can do much till later stages of battle.
Sure everything I was pulling needed 10 but my god all those cards were very strong and I made quick work of the battle then. One of the cards was a 13/13 I forget the name of it though.

After we run of achievements and other one time rewards what will be main source of card packs ?
Also is there any incentive to play ranked ? In hearthstone it was giving a bit of gold but I don't see anything here ?

You get 100 gold (almost) every time you rank up, which is pretty nice. This site lists the rewards you can get for things: https://shadowverse.gamepress.gg/achievements-rewards. You also get rewards as your ranking score increases. You need to claim these rewards manually from home > missions in case you missed that. This might reset each month, but I just started playing so I'm not sure about that.
Apart from that you also get dailies, which seem much more generous than Hearthstone. but getting packs does seem to become much harder after you run out of one time rewards. The devs also give out free stuff at times, which is nice.

I've done about 5 or 6 take two runs and got 4/5 wins every single time. 20ish gold per game isn't bad but it looks like it doubles if you hit 5.

You can't use the same account between mobile and Steam, can you?

You can - generate code in one you want to use and then enter it in second device and you have both linked to the same account.

Ah, cool. Thanks.
hearthstone with decent limited is something i'm willing to try. not super into fanservice so hopefully that isn't too egregious.
I've been playing Shadowverse since launch.
Currently at rank A1 on the ranked ladder.
While I'm still enjoying the game a lot, I am not liking the state of the metagame after the Darkness Evolved expansion.
It's tiring to constantly face Heal Haven/Rush Haven, Spellboost Rune...
That being said, I am mostly playing as Swordcraft, which is still pretty consistent against every matchups.

However, since it has Blizz's 800-lb gorilla of a marketing dept behind it, it's very, very hard to create inroads. Besides, anything Blizz is instantaneously cool for people who have grown up playing WoW (except HotS, barely any of the younger folks at work play that).

New to avoid double post:
I made a dragoncraft deck. Kind of midrange/zooey with a storm finisher. The idea is to have decent early game, with plenty of powerful tempo removal once they start using evolves to get the board. Several of my cards are stronger once overflow activates, and enough cycle to hopefully get those end game storm finishers (3x 6 cost units that hit for 5 and have "can't attack" text, meaning removal or wards are the only way they deal with them).
Unfortuneately I lack 3 dark dragoons fortes that cost 3500 each. I'm about 11,100 vials away from completing this deck and I only have 740 vials. I do have 1210 gold. I wonder if I should liquefy a lot of cards. Seems pretty bad. At least the dark dragoon fortes are standard set, meaning if I keep playing arena over and over I may get them from opening packs.

This card seems really good for late game decks like dragoncraft.
Being able to ensure you have evolve points for hydra (5/5->7/7 attack twice) seems really powerful.

Yeah, I want to agree but you play Sword so...
Also, Tempo elf is just as broken, if not THE most broken arch-type (along with PtP).
I hear you though, I main Control Vampire and Bishop and I'm not even happy with Rush Haven. Heal Haven isn't even as fun as Sunshine Haven from preDE.
Are ranks monthly like HS?
I think only Master rank gets reset every season. I have never tried ladder in this game until yesterday, mostly just played Unranked and Take Two.
So are there videos of how to use spell runecraft? I saw karsticles explaining that you have to gain extra turns with the giants and the 18 mana spell, but I don't know how can you setup up this play with spellboosts, since you require to have all this cards on hand, and reducing a 18 mana card onto something playable doesn't sound that easy, but maybe I'm missing something
Which is the "legend" rank?
Which is the "legend" rank?
It's Master rank.
I think it goes D, C, B, A, AA, Master and each of the letter grades have 3 tiers in them so it goes D1, D2, D3. Someone can correct me on this.
Also the higher you go on the ranks, the more you points you lose on a loss. Earlier on you loss essentially nothing on a loss but later on you can lose up to 70 points at rank B-A.
It's really easy. The entire deck is made up of spells and draw. Even the minions either generate spells, spellboost or are spells themselves.
There's also a card called Sorcery Cache which double spell boosts a single card which means you reduce the card's cost by 3 as Sorcery Cache is a spell itself.
Normally if I get Dimension and the 7/7 in my hand early, I can play them both in the same turn by turn 8/9. The real issue is if you get Dimension in the bottom 3 of your deck or if you get the 7/7 in the bottom of your deck as you need both of them to pull it off. Sometimes you can do some fancy stuff with multiple Dimensions and the few minions in the deck plus the random spell pings to face.
Here's Kripp using it:

Shhhh! I know I'm part of the problem too with my Control Swordcraft!
Sword is overally too consistent.
Yes, you can derank from A3 to A2.
But you can't derank from A1 to B3. No idea if it's also the case for lower ranks though.
That looks really fun and interactive, I'm onlymissing 3 golden cards to finish it, and now I'm kicking myself since I disenchanted a shift since I didn't thought that it was a good card, and i crafted it again, sigh

I have been playing this game nonstop for the last 3 weeks. Been having a lot of fun and it is really refreshing after Hearthstone's balance has gone down the crapper the last year or so. I haven't quit HS but SV is so much more fun right now and with another expansion or two should have a lot more variety as well. Hopefully more people stick with it because I want this game to be successful.

So that dimension shift deck is basically the somehow worse version of freeze mage. LOL
The very definition. Imagine if in HS you could take additional turns. You'd be playing freeze mage on steroids
