i wish this talk covered more depth on how to balance the values. A lot of information about different games was given but not so much about how to balance

This sounded like an intro to "what is a mana curve" and then it just ended before getting to the title of the talk?

Would love to see even more in depth discussions on the different power curves of RTS style games, especially ones that are assymetrical in design, for example StarCraft 1 and 2 with its 3 factions which are all quite significantly different in several points, resource gathering. <br><br>Great talk btw, thank you for the post.

That Warcraft CCG that Hearthstone was based on sounds like it was inspired by San Juan the tabletop card game where you have to sacrifice cards as resources.
