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
One flavour text I really like is Trained Armodon: "These are it's last days. Better to grow broad and heavy. Better that the enemy is crushed beneath it's carcass." Feels melancholy and special to me
