So I've become fairly interested in this project but I have a major concern.

While it's true that you've got the cards, and you've got the people that are interested....... what I'm not seeing yet is a functional gaming platform.

If you're planning to do the tournaments using a system somewhat like Hearthstone or Magic, then surely an actual gaming platform will have to be developed? Isn't that going to take a lot of time and money hiring developers that are actually experienced in that area?

I'm very interested in this game but I'm also interested in seeing how the platform that allows you to actually play the game is going to work.

I would love to see something like this....
