A Fan-Built Deck Simulator Gives Ideas a Place to Land

Background: Card play was still being refined, and community members had only limited information with which to imagine deck combinations. Today: The day was calm. Impact and next: Card discussions gained a practical place to go, and the community showed a willingness to build useful tools.

Background: Card play was still being refined, and community members had only limited information with which to imagine deck combinations. A simulator page made by a community member loosened that constraint and made A-Zhen consider how to respond to player testing while official details were still incomplete.

Today: The day was calm. A community member had independently built a web-based deck simulator, giving players a place to try combinations themselves. The team now had to decide how to receive this contribution: record questions that surfaced in use, while avoiding treating unconfirmed gameplay details as settled rules.

Impact and next: Card discussions gained a practical place to go, and the community showed a willingness to build useful tools. The simulator remained member-made, and the accuracy of its rules and features still needed checking. The team’s next step was to sort the questions and decide which feedback could inform gameplay validation.
