SpellRogue is also not a deckbuilding game. Instead, you roll a few six sided dice at the start of each turn that can be used to activate one of several spells. Spells can have restrictions on the number on the dice they accept and the number of times they can be activated per turn, making it a challenge to assign the right dice to the right spells.

The game has only 9 reviews of which 5 negative, but either those are about an outdated version or they're just wrong.

Prisoners of Ulag'Bol: A Dungeon Crawling Deckbuilder is a very traditional deckbuilder. You start with a deck of simple attack and defense cards and add a new card after every battle and occasionally get the opportunity to delete or upgrade cards. In combination with relics that provide passive bonuses you can make specific builds focused on, for example, applying ever increasing stacks of burn on enemies or applying a spike buff that harms enemies when they attack you while bolstering your defense. The one unique gimmick is that, instead of following a branching path, all of the encounters of a stage are shuffled and you get to choose one out of three randomly chosen encounters each time.

Legacy of Defense is also not a deckbuilding game. It's closer to a Vampire Survivors-like but instead of walking around your character just stands in one spot shooting at waves of enemies.
