The game design (mostly the three lanes that are played consecutively) is very unique and creates a lot of interesting choices. Having one lane (the leftmost/first) being more important makes for complex decisions. At the same time, there are never too many options at any single moment, which makes it manageable. The bad part: the cards are not remotely balanced. There is not much synergy to be had in (most) draft decks. The Heros are so much more important than other cards, so the balance issue is exemplified with them. It means that you simply take good cards and hope for multiple top tier heros.
