The loop of the trial
Your plan starts in the collection and ends at the enemy base. Everything between is adaptation.
Claim the field
Deploy from your base, control routes across the hexes, and force your opponent into difficult trades.
Shift your power
A fallen objective activates its owner's specialization, changing the rules at the moment pressure peaks.
Break the base
Turn position into damage, punch through the final defense, and bring the opposing base to zero.
Five card types
Everything is a tool
A deck is more than a stack of attackers. Mix permanent presence, instant answers, resource engines, and ground-altering effects.
Creatures
Bodies on the board that move, fight, defend lanes, and carry powerful tags.
Spells
Immediate effects that damage, heal, move, summon, disrupt, or turn a fight.
Buildings
Persistent structures that expand placement, generate value, and reshape territory.
Arcana
Strategic effects that bend tempo, resources, and the possibilities of a future turn.
Terrain
Ground with rules of its own—rewarding, punishing, and redirecting movement.
Specializations
Play the game your way
Each deck carries a specialization. It stays dormant until your side objective is destroyed—then activates a defining effect that can rescue a losing position or sharpen a strategy already in motion.
