Could you build this?

No The project is RL research: training zero-search policies for a complex card game, with curriculum learning and PPO. It requires novel research design, substantial compute, and a game integration that vibe coding cannot produce on its own.

What it would actually take: Building it requires a game-state interface to Slay the Spire 2 (likely via mod hooks or emulation), a reinforcement-learning training pipeline (PPO with curriculum and failure-driven restarts), and an evaluation harness. The hard parts are the RL research design and the GPU/compute needed to train and benchmark policies, which demand ML research expertise.
