The Premise
The Gods’ Game
The gods of Auroria empower people they consider worthy. These chosen Leaders serve as their vassals, gather followers, and fight to spread their Influence across the world.
Every match is part of the gods’ larger game for control over Auroria. Choosing a Leader means taking command of one side in that struggle.
How It Plays

Command a Leader
Your Leader shapes your deck and carries the Influence you must protect.
Control Two Lines
Creatures fight differently across the Frontline and Backline. Movement changes their Power and tactical role.
Choose Your Timing
Mirrored action opportunities allow meaningful responses during the opposing turn and make the timing of each commitment important.
