If a player dies, they can no longer collect gold, card rewards, items, etc until they are resurrected. Moreover, when they finally are resurrected, they only get a tiny percentage of their max HP (less than what they'd get from resting), which when combined with the prior phenomenon practically ensures they will be stuck in a perpetual death spiral.

I recently played a game with friends where one of us got a super-powerful engine, enough to solo every encounter, while the rest of use were stuck in the aforementioned death spiral. So the entire game amounted to the rest of us alt-tabbing or fiddling on our phones while the sole player who had a good run basically played by himself.

Now people who enjoy playing the game hardcore-style should still be allowed to do so. I don't want to take their experience away from them. I just think there should be an *option* in game generation, to allow players to still collect rewards while they're dead. Hardcore players with friends who are more casual players would like to be able to play with those friends without at least one of them having a frustrating experience. This simple change I propose would make that possible.
