Eh. To be honest, still playing Downfall. It’s got me pretty covered as far as StS goes. I cannot imagine much more from sts2, although I’d be happy to be surprised.
Deck building has been around since MTG but usually all that was done before a game started. Actually building the deck as you play? Donald X’s Dominion was the progenitor of that concept in modern deck building games.
Well I wouldn’t liken StS to card games like MTG. In MTG you build a deck with any cards you want/have, rather than whatever opportunities present to you. Maybe you could argue about drafting, but it a little bit of a stretch.
Also the competitive nature of MTG is entirely different to the likes of StS.
So yeah, I would pick Dominion. I also like later games built with some similar ideas, like Mage Knight for example, although this one again has a different approach maybe, but at it’s heart is also a deck builder.
The main difference of the board game is that it is coop. So while the single player experience is pretty faithful to the video game and well made, the multiplayer experience is the actual meat of it, and it is a lot of fun. Give it a try if you can.

Also the boardgame rules.
The board game based on the computer game that’s based on board games? 🤯
That’s just mechanics coming home :>
I guess you are referring to the likes of Dominion and so?

Where did you buy the board game from? I’ve never heard of it. I love Slay the Spire
I got it from a local game shop.

I would imagine any large boardgame store would carry it or at least be able to order it in.
Last I checked, it was freely available on tabletop simulator
If you’re itching to play something new while we wait for StS2, try the Shroom and Gloom demo. The game is incredible
