Gameplay
How does mana work?
You start each game with 1 mana crystal. Each turn you gain one more, up to a maximum of 10. Every card has a mana cost shown in the top left corner. You can only play cards you have enough mana for. Unused mana does not carry over to the next turn.
What is the difference between Casual and Ranked?
Casual games are relaxed matches with no rank at stake, costing 1 token. Ranked games affect your rank points and seasonal standings, costing 2 tokens. Ranked games unlock seasonal rewards based on your final rank at the end of each month.
How do hero powers work?
Each class has a unique hero power that costs 2 mana and can be used once per turn. They range from dealing damage to summoning minions to drawing cards. Hero powers are a core part of each class identity and strategy.
What do card keywords mean?
Taunt — enemies must attack this minion first. Divine Shield — absorbs one instance of damage. Battlecry — triggers when played from hand. Deathrattle — triggers when this minion dies. Rush — can attack minions immediately. Charge — can attack anything immediately. Stealth — cannot be targeted until it attacks. Poisonous — destroys any minion it damages. Lifesteal — damage dealt restores your hero's health. Overload — locks mana crystals next turn.

How does the Marketplace work?
The Marketplace lets you buy and sell cards with other players at dynamic prices. List your unwanted cards for sale at any price you choose. Browse listings from other players and buy cards you need. Prices fluctuate based on supply and demand. Epic cards have a minimum price of 3,000G and Legendary cards minimum 15,000G.
Can I convert gold to real money?
Yes. You can withdraw gold as real currency through the Settings → Payment Methods section. The conversion rate is 50G per €1. A 5% processing fee applies to withdrawals. Minimum withdrawal is 500G.
What is Dust?
Dust is the crafting currency. Disenchant unwanted cards to get dust, then craft specific cards you want. Common cards give 5 dust and cost 40 to craft. Rare cards give 20 dust and cost 100. Epic cards give 100 dust and cost 400. Legendary cards give 400 dust and cost 1600.
