  • Collectible card gameYou build up a collection of cards, earned from packs, rewards or trades, and use it to put together decks to face other players. The challenge plays out twice: when building the deck and during the match.
  • DeckbuilderYou start with a small, weak deck and, during play, buy or earn new cards to improve it. The challenge is choosing what to add and what to cut so that every card you draw works in your favour.
