Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The concept of having a 'team' to represent your deck, with the ability (and encouragement from the game) to mix-and-match each team member, is something I genuinely have not seen before, and adds a ton of replayability to a core loop that can be slightly lacking in that area.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is REALLY well done, and there are a number of absolute banger battle themes that I find myself constantly surprised by how awesome they are every time they come up (particularly "Lunch Break Dance Battle" and "Grad Night").

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I really enjoy the art style and the punny names, as well as the sprinkling of lore that you get as you make your way through.
