I just started playing it after a long break. I remember you used to need to upgrade your cards to challenge level in order to be competitive in challenges but now they give you all cards in challenge mode at the standard level, even cards you haven't found yet
It costs 10 gems to play a challenge and you can buy 500 gems for 5$ so that's 50 challenges, say you get at least 7 games per challenge so 350 games for 5$ where only skill matters. I'd say that's not exploitative.
Of course if you care about your rank and having a Big Number in a silly mobile game then yes you either have to play a lot or pay a lot of money.

Oh ok. Sounds like a good play mode. Maybe they themself realized how silly it was.

I've played Clash Royale since almost when it was launched, and I've spent about $10, mainly for a couple of months of Pass Royale.
My secondary clash account is staying as Level 1, ie with no upgraded cards at all, and I regularly beat level 10/11 players.
Clash royale is sad, becouse it is a extremely good game if it were not for the pay to win leveling mechanics. I used to play it alot but it became too frustrating meeting bad players with low ELO but high level cards that you essentially couldn't win over unless they messed up bad.
Edit: To level up all cards in Clash Royale you also have to spend a silly amount of money. Exponential costs.
