🚨🚨 Old Gamer Rant 🚨🚨
Kids today don't know how to build their own decks in CCGs anymore, do they?
I blame the internets. Cookie-cutter decks on the ladder in Kards.
Not that I'm complaining, I'm happily building around them. But where's the fun in playing cookie decks?

Create, play, tweak, refine and (often) discard. To me, that's the JOY of CCGs. You're seeing what works and is fun, with a lot of failure or cool near misses on the way.
if all you're doing is googling meta deck lists then you might as well just let a bot do it.

And the thing is, I don't think a lot of people realise it makes you easier to play AGAINST if you cookie deck
(unless the meta on the game is truly broken. Paging Hearthstone to the red courtesy phone).
Because when you cookie you don't learn the mechanics of WHY a deck works

You're either playing by rote ("always play X then Y") or completely dependent on certain combos.
And that makes you pretty easy to disrupt as an opponent.
It also means you haven't learned how to spot how non-cookie decks work and struggle to disrupt players like me.

Anyway.
TLDR: I'm really enjoying @KARDSccg. Speaking as an old school MTG player (Beta/Ice Age represent!) I'm finding it's mechanics and balance are letting me build some really interesting decks
Decks that then do nasty things to people playing cookie decks on the ladder 😆
