Combat decks

Right now it’s a static deck, will there be later on a dynamic deck? Where the deck will roll your glyphs so skill will come up faster but at a cost you might not get what you need. As well as stacking glyphs and combos glyphs. Then also being able to have a hybrid deck. Where 1,2,3 are rolling and say 4,5,6,7 are locked 9,0 rolling?
Example would be like shroud of the avatar

    The concept of combat as it relates to a deck is not applicable to Ashes.
    So no, probably not.

    As far as we know there may be combos and procs, but the endgame flow of the combat system is currently unknown as they hammer down the basics.

    I literally have no idea what you are talking about. what do you mean by decks and glyphs? Sounds like you are referring to one particular game which isn't AoC

    They are.
    In some games the combat system is a deck of cards in which you pull from. Much like in dungeons and dragons it is a di that you roll from 1-20 to determine the scaling and critical hit rate of damage.

    So you pull these generalized cards from a deck of cards that impacts your spells. One might be pulling a cooldown reduction, but at the cost of possible casting the wrong spell.

    These systems personally seem gimmicky and overengineered to me.
