      Inscryption is one of the few games that I've managed to 100% because it's general gameplay loop is that enjoyable. It made me realize that I actually enjoy card games and my issues are more due to how the companies behind them monetize the hell out of them.

      Dunno if you ever got around to it, but I hope you'll give Slay The Spire a shot - despite its poor art style. Slay The Spire dunks on Inscryption from a mechanic/gameplay standpoint. Absolutely dunks on it. Inscryption is amazing because of its artistic genius; it's is the epitome of creative brilliance. But gameplaywise, it ain't the best deckbuilding roguelike. @@ak9260

    Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend and Wildfrost are two I've been playing a lot of lately.
    Lost Branch of Legend is very much a remix of Slay the Spire, with the same core concepts and some interesting new mechanics. Lots of smart design, and some really fun builds to play with.
    Wildfrost has you managing a party that you build as you go. The cards you play are important, but so are your party members' abilities and positioning. Again, lots of potential for shenanigans.

      With a TCG you make a deck prior to playing. With a deck builder, you build your deck as you progress through the game.
      The closest thing TCG has to this concept are 'solitaire' decks where you continuously draw more cards during 1 turn. Which people hate competitively since it's 'non interactive'. VS a Deck Builder where doing long combos to extend your turn is the whole fun of the game.

      @@vj7248 kinda... TBH I forgor what part of the video I was responding to and that would change my response to you.. but my point is that the reason things like deck building games don't exist IRL is because of child gambling laws... in fact the afore mentioned Magic the gathering used to have a 'ante' rule where after you shuffled but before you drew you would turn over the top card of your deck and gamble it away... TBH I wouldn't be surprised if the genre of deck building games is at least loosely based off that...
