This post is an open question: What are your favorite cards to have in the draw deck? Maybe it's an established comp format, a specific combination of expansions that works well, or a fully custom deck with cards from everywhere. Or maybe you play Cosmic Chaos.

As an owner of everything Star Realms in physical format, I'm looking for new ways to combine what I have without making a 500 card trade row. Tell me what you enjoy playing, what kind of playstyles it caters to, if it is more dramatic or gives more player agency, and anything else noteworthy.

I want to get a proper social deduction game. Up to now I've played Coup and some Werewolves/Mafia with a normal card deck. Reading up on what are the classics of the genre, Avalon/The Resistance and Quest (found less info on this one) seem quite interesting.

Today I came across Avalon Big Box Edition (40 euros) in my local game store. I read on the back that this was all of the content released for The Resistance and Avalon made to work together in one box, with beautiful art also, which sounds very appealing.

Searching a bit more online, I found out that there is yet another, bigger bundle, Quest: Avalon Big Box Edition (barely available, found one copy for 50 euros + shipping). This seems to include everything in the previous bundle, plus Quest and a special Director's Cut rule set for Quest, which seems to be highly regarded. I don't know much about Quest so I'm not sure if having both games would be redundant, and if the extra on the price is worth it.

To make things even more confusing, there are a lot of comments going around about Quest misprints and wrong rules (?), especially concerning the Director's Cut.

Does anyone know more about this and would be willing to give some advice?
