The bestiary of a dying
machine god
Forty species. Three stages of ascension. Eight elemental protocols written by a mainframe that has been losing this war for three million years. Each one is a card you hold on-chain, and fight with.

How a match is actually won
Killing all three enemy Phantasmas no longer ends anything — they revive on cooldown. What you are attacking is the Tamer behind them, and the only clock that matters is their HP reaching zero.
Your Tamer regenerates three mana each turn. That is the entire budget for the Command NFT Cards you hold, so every cast is a trade against a cast you did not make.
The depth sits in the Element Chain. A debuff from one faction, then a debuff from a different faction on the same target, detonates. A mono-faction board is a board that cannot chain — which is why mixing is not flavour, it is the meta.
And the Singleton Rule holds it honest: no two cards of the same name on the field at once, three legal tokens minimum to enter.
