Battle Field
The main play area shows the battle field where cards are deployed. Your hand and available actions update based on the current turn phase. Cards are played by selecting them during the main phase.
Turn Phases
Each turn follows three phases in order: Upkeep, Main, and Attack. Actions available to you depend on which phase is active. The Phase Panel displays the current phase and turn counter at all times.
Draggable Panels
The Phase Panel, Actions Panel, and Battle Log are all draggable during a duel. Reposition them to suit your preferred layout without interrupting the game.
Battle Log
The Battle Log records every card play and significant event in the current duel. Review it at any time during the game to keep track of what has happened.
Turn Phases
