Your collection

Why owning more cards is not the same as being better.

More cards is not automatically better

You draw a small hand out of everything you own, shuffled. So what matters is not how many good cards you have, it is how much of your collection is good. Adding an ordinary card to a strong collection makes your hands slightly worse, even though you just gained a card.

Which makes letting go a real move

Some training cards permanently remove a card from your collection. Getting rid of the plain starters, once you have better ones, is one of the strongest things you can do, and it looks like paying money to own less. There is a floor, so you cannot shrink down to a tiny perfect hand.

The shop keeps moving

A few cards are offered each game week and stay for that game week. You get a free refresh, and more for gems, with a cap. New cards keep arriving all season, and some of the best ones show up late.

  • Money spent early on cards that earn you more money has all season to pay you back.
  • A few of the best cards are not for sale at all. You earn them by playing a certain way.

What a good collection looks like

Mostly good talent cards, a few collaborators and pieces of gear that suit the same kind of artist, and a couple of training cards. If you can describe it in one sentence, it is working.
