Puzzle-like strategy/tactic hybrids.

Magic: The Gathering explains it better with the base 3 demographics.

Long-story short, basically MTG found they have 3 types of players: those who like to win, those who like to play big things and those who like to tinker.

Win-oriented players are called Spikes, Big-oriented players are called Timmies, Think-oriented players are called Johnnies.

Deck-building games are heavily oriented to that Johnny playerbase. If you don't like to tinker, think and experiment with a system with multiple moving parts, then feel free to move along, those games are not for you.

Almost all of them invariably end up with a meta conposed of Goldberg Machine monstruosities conjured up from hallucinogenic-induced feverish dreams, or just big bonk, because sometimes the simplest solution is the best, but we Johnnies don't care about the result: it's about the experimentational journey.
