Is it bad that I prefer the flavor text and card artwork to the actual game? Lol

Nope! One great thing about CCGs is that there's a lot to enjoy without ever having to dip a toe into the gameplay

@PattyMcB @MysticKetchup the flavor text, art, and story are such a critical part of the game! I love them too

A couple of my favorites:
"I hope it's true that every snowflake is unique, because I never want to see one like this again. Now clean up that body." - Deathmark

“His sacrifice shall not be forgotten. Now toss his body over there with the others.” - Doomed Necromancer

As an engineer, Sai, Master Thopterist's flavor text really speaks to me: "Industry without artistry is just another way to fill a junkyard."
