'Deploy my champions?' Kaiden thought inwardly. Before he could even begin pondering properly, more messages came.
[Strategy Cards]
[Both Masters draw two cards from a shared deck at the start of each turn.]
[Cards may be played immediately or banked. Up to two cards may be played per turn. Maximum five banked cards per Master.]
[Card categories: Buff, Debuff, Tactical, Wild.]
[Defender starting hand: 5 cards. Claimant starting hand: 3 cards.]
Five translucent cards materialized beside Kaiden's right hand, floating in a slow orbit with their faces shimmering. Icons and shorthand he could parse at a glance.
He couldn't see what the Kaiju drew.
Then figures materialized on the far half of his board.
Eight shapes flickered into existence on the Claimant's rows, translucent projections mirrored from the Kaiju's own table.
He reached over, hands above them.
"Go, Darling, smash the ants!" Calypso cheered, already knowing what he was about to do.
