Try to avoid Play Styles similar to Magic. Green is Big Creatures (in this particular case). Just a suggestion.

im aware you have similar in magic, but fear not mine does not work in the same way, also that god has many tactics and playstyles, beasts is just one option for them, but they also have primal rage abilities, swarms of smaller creatures etc. also in this deck if you use beasts they are only uniques, theyre far stronger than the ones in magic but will cost you an arm and a leg.

I had similar design hurdles for making it so that you can actually get your uniques out, at first i thought of dropping theyre costs, but these cards are designed to be ultimates essentially so it didnt feel right as id have to nerf them a bit. In the end i settled on two additional but simple rules in the game. The first is on your turn as an action you can sell cards from your hand to make more money, this is a balancing act as obviously you dont want to make your hand too small. The second rule is for unit cards, whenever they are deployed they are automatically bowed, like some other games do, however you may pay an additional cost, 1 for commons 3 for uniques to put them in play unbowed. These two rules combined have balanced out the power of unique cards.

yes it is medieval fantasy but it goes beyond that too, some of the gods are more like old ones from lovecrafts fiction, so theirs an aspect of cosmic horror in their too.
good example are two gods
Nocturnia matriarch of dark dreams, whos the goddess of fear and nightmares
and also
Morbius defiler of sanity, whos god of madness and the void

they got some nasty bullshittery in their cards too lol but a weakness like every other god
Which gets me to god weaknesses, you will find as you play that certain tactics may work better against certain gods, but it depends on their deck build too, which is harder to guess, like i said before each god has multiple builds and playstyles, this removes the chance of making a single deck that counters a certain god every time.

so theirs other dimensions in this world to what will be other fantasy realms, but theyll be drastically different from one another.

im starting with 4 gods, i would only go beyond 15 if they are still unique and dont stagnate in similar designs to the others, sometimes less is more.
it may be better in terms of design to keep expanding on pre - existing gods decks than to outright create new ones. theirs such a thing as giving too much choice that it overwhelms the player.

but to be honest this is just a hobby game im not planning on producing it professionally and selling it or anything like that.

this game is designed to be played 1v1 , 2v2 and 4 player free for all
