Thanks, BCSWowbagger!
I play about once a month.
What do I like? I like that The Continuing Committee has kept ST:CCG alive and that they've done such a great job of it. The game's never been better, and the online tools (card search, deck builder, virtual pack creator, etc.) are terrific.
I also appreciate the starter decks. I often play with friends who don't have decks. Before 2012, I would build decks (for a variety of affiliations) from my extra cards, giving them away to folks who were interested in playing. Now, I can use the virtual starter decks, and they're much better balanced than the decks I used to make.
I don't "hate" anything about the game, but something that I do wish is that there were a better sealed format available. I often play sealed deck games, because the sealed/draft format works well for players who don't have decks, and because the constraints can make the deck building exciting and surprising. Until the virtual starter decks became available, my sealed deck games were always Official Tournament Sealed Deck (OTSD), possibly with some additions (e.g., Starter Deck II or Enhanced Premiere). Now, I play either OTSD or Block Sealed (i.e., each player gets a virtual starter deck and 4+ virtual packs, which we sometimes draft).
I think OTSD is wonderful when the card pool is limited to Premiere, Alternate Universe, and Q-Continuum (PAQ), but that excludes so much. With Block Sealed, I enjoy getting to play sealed deck games with lots of new cards and affiliations, but I've found that (relative to OTSD) there's less variety among the decks that we build; they tend to feel like the starter decks (which are all pretty similar to begin with).
Perhaps it's not possible to have a sealed format with both the variety of OTSD games and a card pool that isn't limited to PAQ, but that is something I wish we had.
Something else I really like: the ST:CCG community. I've thoroughly enjoyed the (few) events I've attended, and the people I've met have been remarkable: helpful, understanding, smart, interesting... (For their help and conviviality, I'm grateful to nuttersuclan and RedDwarf and especially Commandeur.)
Cool Hand Locutus: What we have here is a failure to assimilate.
