I absolutely adore the demo! The world map being identical in style to Pokemon TCG was a good entry point for me, visually. Wraiths (I think that's their name?) are my favorite unit so far. They feel overpowered in a fun way as someone who doesn't know a lot of traditional checkmate setups. I can't wait to see the zany endgame stuff.

Also, I think adding the deck preview before battles is a good move. I did find myself in unwinnable situations on first battle more than once due to the deck being optimized for the previous scenario, and you don't want to encourage a one size fits all deck when deckbuilding is one of the more engaging parts of the game.
