Condition and repair

Losing a raid on an Overgrown Gallery at level 2 or deeper damages cards. Each card destroyed in that battle drops one grade, and so does your deck master.

• A card drops at most one grade per battle, however many times it was destroyed.
• Winning damages nothing. Neither does level 1, or a practice match in the Arena.
• A deck master never drops below Fragile.

Pristine

Full stats.

Fine

Three quarters of each stat, rounded up.

Worn

Half, rounded up.

Fragile

A quarter, rounded up.

Ruined

Left out of every battle, and cannot be repaired.

Rounding up means a stat of 1 stays 1 until the card is Ruined. A deck with a Ruined card in it still counts as full, but fights a card short.

• A small round exclamation mark beside the rarity shows the card is damaged. It is amber at Fine, orange at Worn, red at Fragile and dark red at Ruined.
• A stat lowered by damage is printed in the mark's colour.
• Point at the mark or a lowered stat to see the grade and the card's stats now.
• Scuffs and creases show at the card's edges, over the corners of its artwork and in its ability box, and get heavier with each grade.
• A Ruined card is torn, its artwork turns grey, and it says Ruined where its stats were.
• Click the artwork to open the card's details, which explain its condition and what to do about it.
• The card's details name the grade and show the undamaged stats beside the damaged ones.

Open Repair cards at a Curator's Office. A repair takes a card back to Pristine and costs mana from that city, for each grade it dropped:

Standard

2 mana a grade.

Rare

5 mana a grade.

Epic

10 mana a grade.

Legendary

25 mana a grade.

Unique

25 mana a grade.

A card in a deck can be repaired where it is. A card on an Art Gallery wall has to be taken down first. A Ruined card cannot be repaired: take it out of the deck and recycle it.

• Each copy has its own condition.
• Adding a card to a deck puts in your best free copy, never a Ruined one. Taking one out removes the worst.
• Use your best copies, beside Save in the deck editor, swaps worn copies in a deck for better spares.
• A damaged card on an Art Gallery wall supports fewer people, at the same share as its stats.

What wears out is one player's copy of a card. The artwork is untouched, and new copies are printed as good as new.
