Most Unique Deck Construction Games?
Looking around for the most unique Deck Construction (like in TCGs, CCGs and DCGs) games! Either in terms of mechanics, theme or monetisation model. (Digital games are also fine, although I know this sub isn't about those).
I'm somewhat tired of the standard creature-battler of MTG, Yugioh or Pokémon (however, if they do something really interesting despite that, I won't mind). Everyone is doing it.
Mana systems are also quite boring in my opinion. The cards in your hand/deck are already a limited resource, no need to add to it! (again, if it's doing something interesting despite that, I'll gladly take a look)
I'd also like to take a look at some non-predatory distribution models. I dislike the late stage capitalism side of the hobby, promoting consumerist and speculative values to take advantage of. Barring the average person from entering the game and enabling p2w basically.
This isn't necessarily a critique, just me looking for something new and clever solutions to existing problems.
