If Kingsman and Yu Gi Oh! did the fusion dance.😂 Instead of trading cards, users (or "players") can aquire magical playing cards from a deck that grant them special abilities. The art design and world building is surprising good and obviously inspired by the Kingsman/UK aesthetic. The MC is likable, down-on-his-luck type that stumbles into the reality of these cards and a chance of a lifetime. The side characters/cast are well liked and further fleshed out in season 2. No real generic NPCs among them. The Yu Gi Oh inspired shonen battles are very enjoyable and the stakes feel real. No one has plot armor and the impactof the fights can linger for episodes.

A solid surprise for the season it came out. With Season 2 done, you can binge it to get to a satisfying ending
