GOAL

Reduce your opponent from 30 Life to 0.

FLUX (Resource)

You gain 1 max Flux each turn, up to 10. Flux refills every turn. Cards cost Flux to play.

Playing a card outside your 2 chosen themes costs +2 extra Flux.

The player who goes second gets The Spark — a free one-use +1 Flux boost.

CARD TYPES

Units — Creatures with Attack/HP. They attack and block. Played during Main phase only. New units can't attack the turn they're played (unless they have Rush).

Spells — One-time effects. Played during Main phase only.

Combat Tricks — Instant effects played ONLY during the Combat Trick phases. This is the only thing you can play on your opponent's turn.

TURN PHASES

2. Main — Play Units and Spells
3. Attack — Click units to select attackers, then confirm
4. Block — Defender clicks a unit, then clicks an attacker to block it

6. Opponent's Combat Tricks — Defender may play Combat Tricks
7. Damage — Combat resolves. Unblocked attackers hit your opponent's Life
8. End — Turn passes to the other player

COMBAT

Attackers tap (they attacked, so they can't block next turn).

Unblocked attackers deal their Attack as damage to the opponent's Life.

Blocked attackers fight the blocker — they deal damage to each other simultaneously. Units that reach 0 HP are destroyed.

Damage on units does NOT heal between turns.

Multiple units can block the same attacker.

KEYWORDS

Rush — Can attack the turn it's played

Shield — Absorbs the first hit of damage, then breaks

Flying — Can only be blocked by other units with Flying

Siphon — Heals your Life equal to damage dealt

Overclock — Gets +1/+1 when played if you have 3+ unspent Flux

Ambush — A unit played as a Combat Trick, entering mid-combat (Chaos only)
