The studies I linked quite clearly show that what I said is correct

They suggest enjoying a thing makes that thing easier to learn. They do not apply to HS in the simplistic manner you're trying to apply them. And even if they did, it wouldn't matter, because what you're suggesting is predicated on a Hearthstone that is most fun the way you're suggesting others play it, which for many players is not reality.

The point, which you seem to have been making a concerted effort to avoid, is this: you don't need to have every single card in the game to be competitive, or enjoy the game.

This was not the part of your original post I was addressing.

You are the one trying hard to impress with saying that you're a published author, when not only is it non-committal and easy to say without having to back it up, but would be obvious by your writing style if it were even remotely true.

You're not using "non-committal" properly here BTW. And comments like that one and this one:

Your post is all irrelevant waffle with no substance, in the tone of an 18-year-old wannabe.

are a joke. You're not fit to make those sorts of assessments. We both know you're not qualified. I brought up some of my qualifications because they were relevant after you insulted my literacy. In other words, you started it. And I was making clear to you the fact that good writers know to tailor their writing to the environment, and that you should stop being such a tryhard on such places as the Hearthstone subreddit/insulting those who aren't.

My advice to you is to stop using Reddit to pretend you're smarter than you are. You know very well you've done nothing of merit to support the fantasy. And you should know that people smarter than you see through the effort. End of story.
