Everyone and their mother is playing Balatro, and for good reason. Super fun deck builder based on a normal playing card deck and poker hands. Great music and visuals, too.
Also, check out Inscryption. Truth be told, it's not really a true roguelike deckbuilder, rather it uses the genre as a storytelling medium. Still, really fun game with solid core gameplay and an engaging story. There's also DLC that lets you play more of the deckbuilder part indefinitely.
To anyone reading this - if you try Inscription, go in blind.
I had a lot of fun with Aces & Adventures too, which similarly is based around poker hands but is very different to Balatro.
