Some friends took me out to a ski cabin this week where I didn't have my laptop. We only had a deck of cards, so there was no way to play anything related to Lancer.
Soooooo I now have a potential hack of Lancer PvP where you and your opponent draft NPCs via cards, play a short battle, and then do another round of drafts upgrading your squad. Kind of like those autobattlers. Excited to try it out.
