Deckbuilding and card games.
Build a set of cards, then see how the choices work when you draw and play them.
Make the pieces work together.
Choose cards → play a hand → learn which combinations work → change the deck or your plan.
In a deckbuilder such as Slay the Spire, you assemble the deck as the run unfolds. In a deck construction game such as Clash Royale, most deck choices happen before the match.
Does adding a strong card always help?
No. A larger deck can make your essential cards harder to draw; the value depends on the rest of the deck.
