One deck for exploration and another for combat.

TCGs are not deckbuilders, at least not as they’re commonly understood today. See the other comment thread for the discussion.

More traditional boardgames like dominion aren’t rougelites

I was referring to video game deckbuilders. I couldn’t think of any, but I’ve had a few pointed out to me.

Yeah I missed that when posting. Personally I disagree with you regarding tcgs counting, as many tcg video games end up playing as deck builders (since you develop your deck throughout the game). Especially since that’s effectively what happens with games like midnight suns.

One game though I did think of that is sorta a deck builder and not a rougelite (and not a tcg) would be Stacklands

It’s perfectly possible for a TCG to be a deckbuilder, I’m sure. Especially video games that get to do all sorts of stuff to break the rules. My comment was directed at classical TCGs like MtG.

Stacklands looks pretty interesting, might give it a whirl
