Rules of play
Oathforge is a 1v1 duel between two heroes. Each brings a deck of action cards and the gear forged for them.
Your deck
- A deck holds exactly 30 action cards.
- Up to 2 copies of a card, or 1 of a legendary or mythic card.
- Your hero's gear and talents are not cards in the deck: they are equipped on the hero.
A match
- You start with 4 cards and may send back 1 before the match begins. The player who goes second draws 1 extra card.
- You draw 1 card each turn and can hold up to 10.
- Energy pays for cards. You start with 1, gain 1 more each turn, up to 10.
- Your hero can attack 1 time each turn.
- Each turn has a 90-second timer.
Elements
Every action card has an element: arcane, fire, frost, holy, nature, physical, poison, shadow. Physical cards are weapons and attacks; the rest are schools of magic. A card's element also decides which runes it takes to craft.
