As a CCG veteran (Magic: The Gathering since early days) and RTS dabbler since Windows 95, I wish I could say my worlds are finally colliding. In my opinion, the game is too little CCG and too much RTS. I was hoping for vastly greater specialization and variety in units. (Remember, I'm used to building decks from a 25,000 card pool)
I desperately hope the game gets enough traction to where that can become a reality in the future.

However, what it does do it does really well.

If you are expecting insurmountable vertical progression from 'rarity' or RNG, then don't worry. This is not that kind of game. You expand your glyph (card) pool steadily and easily through gameplay. (No micro transactions)
In addition to being awarded anywhere from 2-4 new glyphs after most games, you also get an in-game currency to buy glyphs from the 'forge', a selection of 5 glyphs which get refreshed every day.

The game is fast-paced and looks (and sounds!) stunning. Apart from some occasional pathfinding quirks it is also relatively bug-free.

I hope as many people as possible give this game a try, this is definitely the kind of game you already know if you're going to love or hate within the first 2 hours.
