Every battle is one turn
Win on your first turn or lose: if the enemy survives, their counterattack decides everything. That single rule makes each fight a short, sharp puzzle. You plan the whole kill in advance, then watch it unfold, and one slip-up can be fatal. There is no slow build-up and no long grind through a fight; the tension comes from getting everything right in the one turn you get. When the plan comes together and the enemy drops before they ever act, that is the whole point of the game, and it lands every time.
Drawing costs you
Play a costly card and you draw deep, but your pile shrinks. Run out of cards before the enemy is dead and you are finished. So every play is a trade: spend fast for damage now, or hold back to keep the engine turning. Cost-reducing and cost-raising cards bend the math further. It sounds strange at first, then one day it clicks and the whole system makes sense at once.
Build the deck before the fight
Unlike most deckbuilders, there is no drafting along the way. You pick your 20 cards up front, from a pool that grows as you beat opponents and upgrade cards, then take that one deck through the whole run. Cards and skills have different compatibility, and combining the right ones produces effects stronger than any card alone. The fun is in the planning: swapping one card in, taking another out, testing whether the whole machine still runs. Deckbuilding itself is the game here, and a finished deck is a thing you get to actually use.
