* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: The Mauve Manticore levels, which give you special (often OP) characters to complete unique challenges. Some of them are fun and engaging, if a bit simple, and others are so daunting and confusing many players quit the adventure upon beholding their buffonery. For reference, the first is a relatively simple one where you play a rust monster who destroys anyone who gets into close combat, so your only REAL threat are lizardmen with spears and have to run away from the brutes and goblins until you build up enough attack cards to burst them down quickly. There's also another where you have to kill multiple 50 HP boulders with special armor cards requiring dedicated removal, and you have to do kill them all in the same round as well. Context? It's a circus act performed by flying monkeys. Most unquiet is the one where you play as a kobold healer who can only move adjacent to blocking terrain, and you have your wizard continually slinging terrain spells so you can reach the house and quickly heal the dying noble inside.

* Main/ComicallyIneptHealing: There is a spell called "Misguided Heal" that does two damage to the selected target before healing the target for four health. Considering that it calculates the damage first, it can be effectively weaponised on armourless, low HP enemies.

* DecapitatedArmy: Averted. The winning condition is acquiring victory points, and while killing the boss enemies usually provide more than the mooks, players frequently will need to defeat all comers to complete a mission.

* KillerGameMaster: Melvin.

* FragileSpeedster: The [[OurElvesAreDIfferent Elf race]]. They gain stronger and more various long-range movement abilities, but have the least health of the three races.

What do you get when you cross a StrategyRPG with a CollectibleCardGame, and a TabletopRPG? You get Card Hunter. A comedic online game where you complete dungeons straight out of a D&D-style quest book, and win equipment that provides cards for your decks.

* ExpansionPack: Attack of the Artifacts, which includes several new cards, equipment pieces, and quests. And as of the Steam release, Expedition to the Sky Citadel adds even more new equipment and cards. An ''Podcast/AcquisitionsIncorporated''-themed expansion was released just before PAX East 2016.

** StylisticSuck: Occasionally.

* ShoutOut: When your characters encounter a puzzle-door, one the things they try is shouting 'friend' in various obscure languages, a shout-out to the door to Moria in Literature/TheLordOfTheRings.

* TakeThat: Later on, you play a homebrew scenario written by Gary (noticeably better-made than the StylisticSuck one made by his brother Melvin.) His villain is "Morvin", a sewer-dwelling monstrosity who threatens the town with his vile stench.

* LetsPlay: Done by DiploRaptor which exhausted and emotionally killed him

* StylisticSuck: One of the adventures is a "homebrew" one created by Melvin in which you fight his ludicrously overpowered (invoked) MarySue alter-ego. [[spoiler:When you win, you find that he didn't even bother to write the ending, because he didn't intend for Melvelous to be beatable.]]

* [[Obvious Rule Patch]]: The draw limit

* SquishyWizard: Wizards, [[CaptainObvious natch]]. They have impressive DPS, can attack at ''really'' long range compared to the other classes, and are very good at repositioning in a game where not being good at repositioning will result in your death, but their health is the lowest out of all the classes, have no shields, and their armor tends to provide more attacks or special powers rather than defenses.
