Some suggestions for changes:
Limiting the basic moves one can use is pretty unfun. Finding yourself in a situation where you're entirely useless because the situation you found yourself in isn't what your deck is prepared for, and you just have to run away and spam defences isn't fun.
Deck combat isn't fun. Relying on RNG and card flow for combat adds unnecessary layers of monotony and feels more like a set of restrictions than a set of opportunities. People just take 5-6 moves to avoid it.
Having "unique fighting styles" is kind of fun. I feel like having fighters have 1 unique move on top of the set of "basic maneuvers" could be achieve something like this in whatever system comes about. This one move could provide a set of expression in combat such as defensive play, offensive play, or group utility play. These could be expressive of combat styles such that customizable decks may provide, but not make or break you if the situation isn't what you're prepared for.
I should focus on my enemy and myself. The UI needs to not cover up the screen. Not being able to see what is going on around me because the UI is covering everything around me is TERRIBLE.
Combat needs to consider that people are moving around. It's pretty rare people are all "xd let's just dive into a huge 10v10 clusterfuck pool because i have no sense of self-preservation". Usually one side is running from the other while stacking coins because there's an objective reason to run e.g. reinforcements are coming, an outpost is nearby, they don't want to fight etc.

This is unlikely, jorby likes the system as it is "harder to make combat alts". Even though it's really not working that way now :S
I don't think combat discoveries are that bad. Should probably remove some of the abuse cases such as putting animals in a cage and just discovering off that one animal over and over.
Might post some more shit if I think of it l8r
