Newest tense deckbuilding games

Every card here can keep you alive a little longer while the pressure keeps rising. In Inscryption you shape a small deck around sacrifices and strange rule changes inside a cabin, in Draft of Darkness you guide allies through shifting maps where supplies run short, and in BLACK STACK you stack risky abilities across long campaigns where mistakes leave a trace. You draft, upgrade and cut cards between turn-based battles, so each run feels tight and every draw matters.
