01

Battle rival heroes

Take on increasingly difficult heroes who draft, summon, and play cards just like you. Outbuild them, outplay them, and fight your way to victory!

02

Construct your deck

Draft your deck one shop visit at a time. Open packs, upgrade cards, recruit minions, and uncover artifacts. Spend wisely. The fate of your run is built one choice at a time.

Win fights to earn blessings that improve future shops, turning each victory into better choices, bigger rewards, and new ways to shape your deck.

03

Assemble your team

Each run begins with a pairing: choose a hero, then choose a companion. Your hero has a unique power, and your companion unlocks your second elemental card pool.

Your pairing decides what kind of run you are building. Draft around your strengths, cover your weaknesses, and discover endless combinations.
