FAQ[]
The following are questions that are often times asked on Discord / Reddit
◉ What are the mechanics?
Short answer: Summary:
-First 30 seconds is Mulligan phase
-Resource Phase allows you to choose either a gas or a mineral and maximum resources for all races are 8/3
-Play phase allows you to play cards
-Battle phase is where actions are resolved
Long answer: A detailed page on Game Mechanics are fully explained there!
◉ What race should I start with?
You should start with the race you love the most!
◉ What card pack(s) should I buy in order to start my collection?
You should buy one pack from each set, because your first pack of any set will contain an interesting rare card. After that, Core sets and Bonus sets contain the greatest number of cards, so they have the lowest chance of yielding redundant cards. Desperate Alliance contains dual-race cards; those can be nice for a new player because they can fit in a greater number of decks. The first page contains only packs that are 100% standard-legal, while the second page is mixed with Standard-legal and Eternal cards.
◉ Are there any pre-made decks I could use ?
You can find community decks in the Discord, often in the Deck Discussion channel. Use the search bar to find them; for example you can type: "in: deck-discussion has: image" .You can also type "from: keystone-decoder#5664" .

◉ How do I team up with my friends?
The "eternal" and "2vs2 Solo Queue" modes evens out the teams as best as it can via everyone's win-rate. However, you can enter into "2vs2 Team Queue" (standard legal deck) or "Custom" modes (Standard or Eternal deck) to specifically play with the people that you want to.
◉ How do I get [card]?
Most cards can be unlocked by simply buying their card pack or bought via essence.
