Many if not most of the cards are intrinsically thematic but there is no overarching narrative. I think the game works well and it might just be my favorite deckbuilder although there are many other great ones out there. Unfortunately, this and Legendary came out almost at the same time which caused some polarization. Also, Tom Vasel gave it a rushed harsh review and, even though it is clear to me that he understands he was a bit hasty in that judgement, the reputation stuck and you still here this game brought up in a derogatory manner every now and then in a few of the network's podcasts.I think you are right. The game is really fun and the the majority of the cards thematically convey the element they represent.
