Swars is defiantly not for casual players. People that haven't played it much have that kind of idea about the deck building but they lack the understanding of how the game really works. Unlike all other card games I know of, at minimum 35% of your deck known to the other player b4 turn 1. The deck building system is designed around this idea, that when you see a story card you know x cards in his deck, and can maybe assume he has 2 copies of that story. You know what he has and have an idea of what his deck should be doing. This is as swars is all about long term planning, like in chess, and this idea simply dose not function with out having some idea of what is coming from your oponant. The discard and refill and cycling means that you can sculpt your active cards to fit your plans and play around your opponents. Swars is a very hard game to play, and has a extremely cleaver deck building system and is in NO way for casual players...
