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 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?
