That fray is hard. Lower leagues are the hardest, especially because many of us haven't played Bronze or Novice in ages, and some players there are real pros. That said, it can be learned.
I like to have people in a fixed fray for an extended period, that way you get a feel of it. We will see what is an optimum fray for you. I am reasonably happy for now.
This is a good idea. I don't mind playing these and working out how the gladius cards operate.
