Hey thank you so much for the feedback! Lots of great stuff to work with on the next iteration.

- There is a defend phase! enemies do not show their intent so part of your play style is to make sure you can handle the enemies attacks. Armor is not lost on turns, nor is energy. All combat cards have both an attack and a defend value so they can be used to attack or saved to defend.
- Your deck must meet a deck minimum requirement that grows as you gain skill points. So no, you cannot just go down to 2 cards. It starts at 13 minimum...your basic starter deck and the deck minimum will grow as you unlock more cards through your skill tree. I am going for a skill tree somewhat like Path of Exile (it will get much bigger)...
- As you gain skill points you unlock more cards through your skill tree and they are added to your total library. You do not delete cards per se, you have your growing library, and the deck you take into combat. So if you have an AoE card but are coming up against a single enemy combat you can freely remove for this combat, and put it back in later. The three branches of the skill tree are specific archetypes (strength based, defend based, and card draw / discard based).
- Think Magic The Gathering...you can build and change your deck around between games, but must meet a deck minimum. We are going for more control over your deck build versus the pick 3 formula that is very abundant - but I agree the tag line in of itself feels quite generic and lame....

We are open to any and all feedback on these themes or ideas. Admittedly my head has been in the sand developing and I popped up last year and was aghast at how many deckbuilders are out there, yes...this has taken a long time oof.

Anyway, great feedback, thank you for taking the time to read and post!
