Picked this up yesterday on Steam, and it's technically a deckbuilder so I figured I should bring it here. It's quite fun, just not what I expected- it's real time rather than turn based, so battles are actually quite hectic. Your deck is also too fluid to really feel like you're playing a deckbuilder- cards (or rather coins) are all one-shot, and there's an emphasis on stealing or discarding your opponent's coins, so your deck is always changing. Treasure chests and perk-giving ghosts let you pick your rewards, which I think is a really nifty mechanic, and the different classes play pretty differently, so you get a decent bit of control over your abilities even if your deck is a revolving door of one-shot cards. It also interests me that you lose when your run out, and so do the enemies. Draining somebody's deck is a pretty easy way to win, but you get their leftover cards if you just pummel them, so that's a fun mechanic as well.
I dunno, it wasn't quite what I was expecting from a game that calls itself a deckbuilder, but it's quite fun and somewhat relevant to the board's interests I think.

I couldn't tell from the website : http://store.steampowered.com/app/264690/ whether it was single player or not? I assume it is. I wonder if "deckbuilding" was just used a selling buzzword?
May need to give it a try if it's on a steam sale some time.

It is single player yes.
It is technically a deckbuilding game, just....doesn't feel like one. :P
