YOUR DECK IS YOUR SWORD AND SHIELD

Cards are everything in Heroes of Magic and Cards! Your hand determines how much damage you can do and what abilities you can activate, such as building Rage or striking the enemy with Lightning! 

By collecting enchantments for your cards, you can improve their number value (change a “5” into a “6”), switch their suit (change a “diamond” into a “spade”), or apply special effects, including card-cloning and poison. By changing your cards’ suits or values you can continually improve your chances of drawing powerful poker-hands, which trigger devastating combo-effects.

As you traverse the worldmap, discover relics, enchantments, consumable items, and expansions for your character’s natural class-abilities. Different discoveries and strategies will yield explosive synergies. At the same time, your inner poker-shark will feast!
