SolForge Starter Decks Roll Out Posted: 18 Mar 2013 09:44 PM PDT SolForge appears to be rolling out in small doses on the way to iOS and PC beta. An update today added the ability to log in to the game on the iOS client as well as adding four $4.99 starter decks, one for each faction. These decks and cards will carry over when the game launches. Each deck is 30 cards and is themed around some of each faction's signature elements. Based on the decklists, we're assuming that each deck contains two "rares". Let's take a brief look at each and we'll get into a deeper SolForge analysis post-PAX East. |
Posted: 18 Mar 2013 09:18 PM PDT In late February, Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe (D.) announced that he had struck a deal with the Obama administration to implement Obamacare's expansion of health insurance coverage using the law's subsidized private-sector insurance exchanges, instead of using the 1965-vintage Medicaid program. If implemented, this deal would result in far better health coverage for the poor. But the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that such coverage would cost federal taxpayers 50 percent more than Medicaid would. Yesterday, the Arkansas Department of Human Services released its own fiscal estimate of exchange expansion. Contrary to CBO, the state estimates that expanding the exchanges "would add less than 15% to federal health-care costs in Arkansas," adding that "in some realistic scenarios, there could be no additional federal costs at all." Arkansas' analysis, if correct, could transform the shape and scope of Obamacare's coverage expansion. |
