⚡ THE GOAL

Reduce your opponent's Commander HP from 30 to 0. You do this by playing Operatives to attack their Commander directly, or by casting Directives that deal damage. When either Commander hits 0 HP — the game ends.

🃏 CARD TYPES

🔄 TURN STRUCTURE (YuGiOh Style)

• Draw: Automatically draw 1 card. If your deck is empty, take 2 damage instead.
• Main: Play Operatives, Directives, Uplinks, Relics. Use the NEXT PHASE button to advance.
• Battle: Attack with your Operatives. Drag from your operative to an enemy target or their Commander.
• End: Hand limit is 10 cards. Click END TURN to pass.

💧 AETHER (Mana/Energy)

Every card has a cost shown in the blue circle top-left. You spend Aether to play cards. You start with 1 Aether and gain 1 more per turn (max 10). The numbers next to your avatar show current/max Aether. Plan ahead — spending all your Aether leaves you with nothing to defend with!

⚔ COMBAT

• Operatives cannot attack the turn they're played — unless they have Rush.
• To attack: click and drag from your operative to an enemy operative or their Commander avatar.
• If the enemy has a Taunt operative, you must attack it first before attacking their Commander.
• Both operatives deal damage simultaneously. If HP drops to 0 or below, the operative is destroyed.
• Lethal destroys any operative it touches, regardless of HP.
• Trample — excess damage carries through to the Commander.
