I also noticed that if you spam click the search button, the findings will stack and you'll go forward one extra level per click, so you can basically glitch your way to infinite levels+cards.\n\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":813675,"author_name":"ZwodahS","author_uid":"zwodahs","epoch":1649385351,"text":"@jefvel Nice bug. yeah there are quite bugs that I didn't manage to find.

Would have been nice to have the option to pick which cards to add to your deck (like in Slay the Spire) instead of just getting random ones, as that way there could be a bit more strategy (eg picking more of the wound producing cards if you have some destroy cards).
