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