I can see why this has caught on so powerfully, it's about the purest "make big number" game you could possibly make with deckbuilder elements.

I'm not completely immune to that, but I think my major issue is how disconnected and abstract it all feels. This may seem like a superficial complaint but I need to be doing something more than just playing cards into a literal void. Provide some more context. Why not make the Boss Blinds a guy or a cosmic entity or something.
