I haven't really gotten to the point where anything works but doing the serialize de/serialize combo is possible. The issue is, that I am thinking about doing this not a few hundred times but more like several million times (preferably per minute), so i'll likely have to implement several competing versions and benchmark them.

The full idea is implement a deckbuilding game like magic and use genetic algorithms and montecarlo simulation to balance the card pool. But that requires millions of games with millions of simulations to work. So i'll see if it's even possible.
