Mysticana Review

In this episode, I review Mysticana: A Foundation Deck by Button Shy —a minimalist, magical card game system. I’ll talk about how this 18-card deck manages to be a solo puzzle, a tactical duel, a deduction game, and a whole lot more. We’ll explore how the elemental suits and sleek mechanics create an expandable foundation for new games, and why Mysticana isn’t just something you play—it’s something you grow with. From Nine Perils’ solo brain-burn to the Avatar-fueled standoffs in Sorcerers’ Showdown, we’ll unpack what makes this pocket-sized deck so clever… and why its greatest strength might lie in what it hasn’t revealed yet.
