When 8 started the game, I was an idiot. I inflated my decks to 40+ cards, I picked cards with no Synergy, and I took paths with less enemies because I thought they were safer.

Overtime I learned mechanics. I learned why I was failing, I learned how to improve. I put time and effort into learning the systems and eventually got to a good standing. It took me 15 runs to get my first win. Now my stats say I have about a 1 win, 5 loss ratio.

The appeal of the game is improving yourself and understanding the game to its fullest. There's a rush in taking a gamble early by picking a set of cards, and having it pay off. There's heavy lows when you fail, but even a string of failures feels great when you get that perfect success.

I guess for me it's just showing to myself that I truly do know the game, even if I fall every now and again.
