HOW A DUEL WORKS · PLAYTEST OVERVIEW
Build your deck. Shape the battlefield.
Choose a Leader and build a deck around your faction's Affinity. Each player begins at 30 Life with seven cards. Spend Energy to play Characters, Equipment, Supports, and Tactics, and position your forces across five Character positions, supported by two Support positions and a protected Leader Zone.
A turn moves through Start, Draw, Main I, Combat, Main II, and End. Meet your Leader's Ascension requirement with at least six maximum Energy to bring them into combat. Reduce your opponent's Life to zero or defeat their Ascended Leader to win.
Rules and card values remain subject to playtesting; some timing and targeting procedures still need clarification. Read the draft rulebook →

Source of truth
The Master Card Database v1 remains authoritative for card IDs, statistics, effects, and deck restrictions. This page incorporates the complete gameplay reference supplied by the project owner, preserves the 28 database rule entries and all 187 card rulings, and includes all 48 campaign scenario modifiers. Current database rules take precedence over conflicting earlier concepts. The remaining edge cases are listed in section 16; this is a playtest reference awaiting a final consolidated rules specification.
