I don't know if there's depth in the poker element actually. In poker it's profitable to go all in when you have over 50% chance of winning, but here you can be well over 50% at the beginning of the game just by having decent deck synergy (whereas in poker there is 0 skill involved in your card selection). Add in any non-zero chance of opponent retreat and it becomes easy to snap in any situation. Unless you're completely losing due to a terrible draw or something.

I would love a mode where they have prefab decks that you are given randomly at the start of the match, and you have to play those. They would test the decks our rigorously to make sure they are relatively even in power, so it's only the player's strategy that matters. Players would learn the meta of the decks over the course of the season and there would be much deeper poker mechanics. But then you'd lose the whole monetization of the game. And I'm guessing people like the deck building aspect much more than the poker aspect.
