You surely are not the only one. The only thing this game is about is to make you spend. I issued that with good arguments and they close the topic. uCool are only there to tempt you and make you want more, so you would get tempted to buy. So this Tavern is just to waste your credits, hoping you will fall into the trap of buying gems to get more credits, hoping to change your chances in the game. Please, just do not bother it. This game is not fair. Just try to make the best of it, but do not spent too much money on it, since it will only make you feel even worse in the end. I spent lots of dollars and also did not get what I was hoping for. So VIP will not get you better chances in the Tavern. You better wait for the right moment to get that hero you want. I gave up purchasing credits for the tavern and just flip once, since flipping cards twice can only cost money, but never gave me a good hero. I also spend the credits I got mainly in upgrading the talents for the heroes I have. This is more beneficial.
