How far in did you read before coming to this conclusion? I'm sorry for your bad experience but am baffled by the hostility, especially because the game is very, very clear that you can play it with just the PDF, the printable rules sheet, and any two decks of regular Poker cards.
The deck that came with the kickstarter is not required to play the game. It is a custom deck of cards with art based on the game. Even the extra RP mode in the back can be played without the Wizard War deck, because all of the Tower cards are available on the printer version.
If you do actually want to play the game, I hope the process of taking that photo didn't damage it too badly.
