Compared to many of you here, my trading card experience is rather slim. Merely 5-6 years on and off. When I started it never made sense for me to pay for digital copy of a card but also I did not have people who play TCG around me. So despite my interest in the TCG for long time, the first game I played was called Eye of Judgment. This was a TCG that used technology of physical card scanned into digital world (PS3). Despite rather simple game play, the first experience of TCG for me confirmed I indeed loved TCG. Then I played some Magic Online, little bit of Yu Gi Oh (PSP), Shadow Era, and now playing Infinity Wars.
Though at this point I am somewhat used to with the concept of digital TCG, and paying for it, I still keep hoping the technology used in Eye of Judgment will come back again because it truly integrated physical and digital world i.e. satisfaction of physical card collection with ease of digital play.
This feeling kept coming back because I could not separate physical/paper cards from the digital card games I played because those games seem to play the same on paper, and digital version just takes care of the tedious calculations, and gives easier access to opponents.
However, HEX said they made this game from ground up with digital exclusive in mind. Seeing card like Replicator's Gambit and now stretch goal reward Spectral Assassin make total sense. These cards only work in digital environment. That's why this is digital TCG!!

I know some people may still feel paying for digital card is ridiculous, but with HEX it may make sense as this game is only possible with digital technology. Anyone feel the same way?
