4. Deck Bloat

This is when you add too many cards to your deck and it no longer runs well any more. And it can also be a problem if you don't remove cards from your deck, or if you don't have ways to draw more cards during the fight. It means you don't always draw your best cards, and you have less chance of drawing combinations of cards that go well together.Deck bloat is more of an issue for some decks than others. Defensive decks usually don't mind a bit of bloat and aren't that keen on spending gold to remove cards from their deck. Ironclad combo decks can also handle bloat because they cut it down mid-fight with exhaust cards. But Silent combos, and aggro decks in either class, will be most affected by bloat.There are two kinds of bloat. Having powers and cards that exhaust themselves doesn't contribute to the first kind of bloat, because on subsequent times through your deck, they won't be in the way. However, they can still be bad for the first time you go through your deck, especially for decks that want to win quickly, so they do contribute to the second kind of bloat.
