I really wanted to like this game, but dealing with the opponents is so frustrating. The Bovine witch is just too strong. By the time the witch gets down low on health, I've got too much bovine to deal with and then she heals back up and I still have a deck of bovine that grows exponentially. The witch that reduces your potions levels is so annoying as not only does it make getting momentum going take so long but then since half of your potions are all about increasing the opponent's potions, then having the opponent's potions be used and disappear by the yellow combining potions makes it take so long to overflow the opponent's flask. So you cant just focus on alure as they red potions get reduced, then you also cant focus on blue as the opponents potions get used by their yellow.

That's really two core things about this. The blue potions you're given at the start are severely underpowered (they only have one use, and the majority of witches are never in a position you can use them effectively) and some of the witches are just hell to deal with. The bovine witch in particular I've only ever gotten past once, using the bovine potions she has against her. But given the potions you get are complete RNG... It's basically not worth trying to face the bovine witch without the bovine potion. If you get to her without it, you're basically guaranteed to end up with a full deck and a guaranteed loss.
It's really sad, because I know there's a good amount of content past the bovine witch... But I don't get to see it, because it's impossible to get past her.
