    could be more fun to unlock additional slots.
    (come on card mastery you got to be good for
    something)

    Since a deck slots feature would be aimed at more advanced players, I think starting with just one slot per PW is fine. A second one could be awarded by e.g. finishing Origins story.

    Additional slots should cost both (a lot of) runes and (a reasonable amount of) crystals.

    Now, the question is, should there be some upkeep cost, or should it be just a one-time cost?

    One and done. Any expenses that upgrade a player's account to have more features should always be a single expenditure with no upkeep. We're already forking over our time (and in some cases, our money) for virtual cards - forcing a player to expend more resources to maintain that upgrade is a player-hostile action.

    Yes! Deck slots are needed and fast. They should have a cost.... Make them a mastery prize. Thats one way to prevent players to stay in Silver or gold when they should advance to platinum.

    Games like Yugioh Duellinks charge a one time real cash cost per deck slot.

    I cringed when I read this, now I have no doubt they will charge real cash and they will majorly overcharge for it.

    I couldn't agree more! With multiple events running, this is a real hassle to only have one slot per PW.

    Yes, but if it gets deck slots out faster? I guess it would have to be better then nothing.

    Why would you cringe?

    It would be a very foolish move for them not to charge for this, when they're charging for cards.

    The upgrades that do not affect game play are the ideal things to charge for.

    I think he was cringing more at how they like to overprice things more than them pricing it all together.

    I couldn't agree more that we need slots. With multiple events running, and different objectives in each, it's really a burden to manage that outside the game.

    I cringe because they will likely charge far more than it's worth, much like they do with everything else in this game. There are currently 21 planeswalkers. I would not be surprised if they charged $10 per deck slot, per planeswalker. I have no problem with them charging for things like this but there is a limit to what is reasonable. I know you will argue that some will have no problem paying whatever they charge so it's ok for D3 to charge whatever they want and that they are justified since people will buy it. I could do without deck slots (in the event they are overpriced) if they would just improve the UI so I could get to the planeswalkers I want and edit their decks more efficiently.

    I'm sure I've said in the past that I'd be happy to pay for this convenience.

    This is no longer the case.

    I actually think shteev said that -- no contradiction on this one.

    I'm afraid that for now this is the best you're getting in terms of an official response.

    This is something the team has wanted to add to the game for a long time. We’re currently working on some interesting ideas for this, but the feature is still very early on in development.

    As soon as Brigby has some new info, he'll let everyone know.

    To be honest, I don't think that trying to predict whether deck slots will be a paid upgrade and how much they would cost makes much sense now. I hope we'll get them soon and that they'll be accessible to everyone :)
