I agree that for a new player it is almost impossible to get anywhere. The game is advertised as free to play, but then you're told to buy a $10 spellbook to be able to earn anything. The spellbook isn't enough though, you need to spend at least as much on cards just to get out of Novice! The game also says player's have complete control over their assets. Maybe that was true long ago, but it isn't now with the soulbound cards. Players can't even burn their reward cards for DEC to buy others!

Luckily there are plenty of giveaways that lets people win both DEC and cards, and with some luck new players might be able to find someone who can delegate a few cards to give at least a fighting chance to play Bronze.
