Bosses break patterns
Normal fights let you block and trade. Bosses twist that loop with a rule of their own.
The twist might limit your cards, your block, or your draws. Expect it and plan around the limit.
Read the door
Each boss signals its trick before the fight. Spend a turn learning it rather than rushing in.
A deck built blind walks into the exact thing that kills it. The counter is almost always simple once seen.
Adapt, don’t out-trade
Against a block-eating boss, stack damage elsewhere. Against a damage-scaling boss, end the fight fast.
The win is in the match, not the muscle. Bring the answer the boss is missing.
