Inscryption just defies categorisation, it’s a unique everything. But yeah, I wasn’t aware of the other non-roguelite deckbuilders. Wonder how they get balanced? What’s stopping the player from building a monstrously strong deck?
More traditional boardgames like dominion aren’t rougelites. Also the Pokémon trading card games or Yugioh.
Depending on how flexible with the definition you are, the megaman battle network games are also deck builders (there is “One step from eden” which is a rougelite version too).
Yeah I missed that when posting. Personally I disagree with you regarding tcgs counting, as many tcg video games end up playing as deck builders (since you develop your deck throughout the game). Especially since that’s effectively what happens with games like midnight suns.
One game though I did think of that is sorta a deck builder and not a rougelite (and not a tcg) would be Stacklands
Actual card battle games like Magic the Gathering.
Or deckbuilding like those castle/turret defense games.
I’d have to agree with @iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works, I’ve never been a fan of roguelike games where your next move/ability is left up to what you draw from your deck next.

Are there any other types of deckbuilder? I can’t think of any

That depends, is there anything that isn’t a roguelike?
I’m pretty sure all applications are technically “roguelike” now. Hades (roguelike), FTL (roguelike), Dirt Rally (roguelike), card games (all roguelike), MS office 365 (roguelike), Android accessibility config pane (roguelike).

That’s reasonably close to what I was thinking, yes.
iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Inscryption, Midnight Suns, Dungeon Drafters come to mind.

I think the idea is that you have to build a monstrously strong deck to progress.

TCGs are not deckbuilders, at least not as they’re commonly understood today. See the other comment thread for the discussion.
I was referring to video game deckbuilders. I couldn’t think of any, but I’ve had a few pointed out to me.

CCGs like MtG are very different from the current meaning of deckbuilders. I’m not sure which castle / turret defense games you’re referring to.

When did “deckbuilder” stop applying to TCGs? Isn’t that the original definition of a deckbuilder game?
I can’t think of any off the top of my head, but a quick search leads to some titles like:
