High Command: Discarding Trollbloods

Having recently received my Castle of the Keys, I used a little free time, never enough of that, to sort my High Command collection into the binders...and of course, as soon as I was done I wanted to try and build a new Trollblood deck...

A couple of cards intrigued me from Castle of the Keys, for Trollbloods these were, well, all of them.
In the end, during deckbuilding, I decided to go with a well known Trollblood theme: discarding, making me focus on the Troll light warbeasts.

Sadly for me, Privateer Press High Command designers did their job right to

High Command (+My LoE ''Bloodgift Deck'')

About a year ago, Privateer Press released its Hordes/Warmachine-based LCG into the world: High Command.

I went on vacations when the game was released in store so I missed all the demo games that happened when my boss bought a copy and tried it with other employees and customers. What I did not miss, upon my return, was all the negativity and bad comments about the game and how unplayable/blend it was.
I was a little sad as the concept of the game (building an army and attacking locations) was something I had been looking forward too in LCGs since the Eve Online TCG.
