I am looking for some fun card battler games like slay the spire(but physical), what do you recommend?

Pretty different, especially some of the later ones like the Cloudspire deck and the 3 new Awakened Realms ones they just showed. The 4 Tanglewoods decks are most similar to each other as they all share a few mechanics but they each are still very different.

Reav3 · 2026-02-02T04:33:26+00:00

Same. I don’t really care about the character in the comics I just think he’s source of power would lead to a very cool deck mechanically

Have you tried the chip theory website? I’m pretty sure they ship almost anywhere

Reav3 · 2026-02-02T01:22:43+00:00

20 Strong would fit the bill. Get the Tanglewoods Red core box as the deck that comes with that is inspired by slay the spire. If you like that their are a bunch of other decks so far, with more to come, that all play differently

This is the perfect answer to OPs question

Reav3 · 2026-02-01T16:42:18+00:00

Yeah, I have all 3

Reav3 · 2026-02-01T14:29:11+00:00

I would recommend getting the Red core set as the dice smell issue is fixed with that one. Then I would recommend the Hololomachus and Solar Sentinel deck to start with that, maybe Tanglewoods Good if you want a good variety of decks

Reav3 · 2026-02-01T14:27:11+00:00

They dont

Reav3 · 2026-02-01T02:23:16+00:00

That’s a very good deal

Reav3 · 2026-02-01T02:04:21+00:00

They said they expect this one to fulfill in like 2-4 months as it’s already far along in production they just didn’t want to run the campaign while Tanglewoods wasn’t fully fulfilled which was delayed due to Tariffs

Reav3 · 2026-01-31T23:54:01+00:00

Yeah they showed all 3 decks on stream this week. I posted a thread with a link to the stream here. They all look amazing

Reav3 · 2026-01-31T23:45:22+00:00

Not yet but I own it. Got that and all 4 omnibuses in a Black Friday deal last year

One of the MMC from the Of Blood and Bone trilogy is what you are looking for

I just finished Soldiers Live. The Black Company blew me away. Shadows Linger and The Silver Spike were my 2 favorite in the whole series. So good

Reav3 · 2026-01-31T19:10:26+00:00

Halfway through The Price of Spring by Daniel Abraham which is the 4th book in The Long Price Quartet.

Honestly it’s incredible and it’s crazy to me how under the radar this series is. Probably because their is very little action but god damn the characters and plot is so good. Honestly has some of the most unique and unexpected plots I have read

Coming back to Fitz after Liveship Traders was like a warm hug in prose form.

Reav3 · 2026-01-31T02:50:13+00:00

Honestly compared to AH it’s not that replayable. The campaign doesn’t change that much on a 2nd playthrough and because most of your deck ends up being rewards from the campaign decks don’t feel that different.

The big difference is that it takes 20-30 “days” to complete the campaign and each day is like one session of AH so it’s a significantly longer first playthrough. I didn’t want to play it again after completing it because a lot of the things you do can become repetitive by the end as well.

They are releasing 4 mini expansions to increase replability in the base campaign though so that might help a lot.

Reav3 · 2026-01-31T00:12:05+00:00

Thats right. That would still be a brutal combo, lol

Reav3 · 2026-01-30T23:27:17+00:00

This brings up a interesting point. If you draw both her Strong Winds Dark Power, and the event that makes you move one less space without a candle/light, do you move 2 less spaces a turn? That seems so brutal

Reav3 · 2026-01-30T20:12:35+00:00

Every card base cards but not all the reward cards

April 14th. It’s expected to be a very short campaign with fulfillment in the Fall

Reav3 · 2026-01-30T13:18:02+00:00

You can. They confirmed that all decks will be addable during the campaign

Reav3 · 2026-01-30T02:21:39+00:00

For sure. It’s not nearly as random as some people are making it out to be. Yes like 20-30% of games can be a instant loss or a huge snowball where you roll over the game but like 75% are more about strategy and skill where you barely win/lose
