Exactly, we hoped it would be cathartic to finally be able to pull off the “perfect combos” that rarely actually happen in games like MtG. And you hit the nail on the head – the hero’s cards are actually mediocre for the most part when compared against boss cards like Deadly Swipes, so he really needs the player’s help.
And I can totally understand how the writing might be a bit “annoying”. My hope was to invoke some of the austere self-seriousness of old English as a way to suggest the grandness and importance of the gods – but that was risky move as I think it also can come off as a bit pretentious.
Nonetheless, we really appreciate the kind words! We had a blast making the game so we’re glad to hear others are enjoying it.
