A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Thanks, makes total sense and I loved Slay the Spire. The monetization mechanics are really what prevent me from starting Magic etc.
Legends of Runeterra is a good alternative. If you want zero monetization then I would recommend Netrunner. Fantasy Flight Games pulled the plug on the physical card game some years ago and it became a community run enterprise. You can also play online via https://www.jinteki.net/.
Nice, I hear a lot about Netrunner, but wasn't aware about the website. Thanks a lot! :-)
If you liked Slay The Spire despite it not being competitive, check out other deck building roguelikes like Monster Train and Peglin. You could also play TCGs using unofficial free simulators like Yugioh Omega, but those will likely have a steeper entry curve because only veteran yugioh players are on there vs Master Duel having millions of scrubs and bads to ladder against.
