¶ Basic Ideas

• Same core rules as Magic: the Gathering
• Each Player starts with 20 life and 5 cards in hand.
• Land is Pip cards (2-7). They each tap for one mana of their color.
• Creatures are Aces and Faces (A,J,Q,K).
• An Ace can also be played as a spell.
• If a creature is summoned using mana from a straight of lands, then that creature enters with haste and evasion.
• There are additional instant-speed actions you can take:
  • Sacrifice: Tap and sac a land to activate a special ability.
  • Straights: Combine lands to produce special effects.
  • Pairs: Equip lands to a creature to boost power/toughness.
  • Royal Sacrifice: Tap a set of royals and sac the Jack to destroy target creature.

¶ Special Land Abilities

¶ Sacrifice Actions

Tap and sacrifice a land to activate one of the following abilities, based on the rank of that land:

2 or 3

Fireball 🔥. Deal 2 damage to target creature or 1 damage to target player.

4 or 5

Mine ⛏️. Add 3 mana of that land’s color.

6 or 7

Draw a card.

¶ Tapping Straights

Simultaneously tap a straight of land cards. Instead of adding mana, you may activate an ability based on the length of the straight:

3 cards

Gain +1 life

4 cards

Draw a card, then discard a card.

5 cards

Sacrifice one of the lands in this straight. If you do, return a creature from your graveyard to play.

6 cards

Sacrifice one of the lands in this straight. If you do, gain control of target creature an opponent controls.

¶ Pairs

Tap a pair of same-color lands to equip that pair to a creature until the beginning of your next turn. This improves that creatures power and toughness as long as the pair is equipped.

• One pair gives +1/+1
• Two pairs give +2/+2
• 4 of a Kind instead gives +3/+3

A creature may not have more than 4 cards equipped this way.

¶ Creatures

¶ Summoning a Creature

A creature’s cost must be paid using mana of that creature’s color. (Each player should have two different colors of cards.)

Instead of summoning an Ace, you may cast it as a spell.

¶ Royal Charge

If the lands tapped to pay for a creature form a straight, then that creature gains Haste and “This creature can only be block by creatures of its own type.” until end of turn.

• Stacking:
  • At instant speed, you may combine two or more Jacks into a Stack.

  • If more than one additional Jack has been added to the Stack this turn, then that Stack regains summoning sickness.

Color matters for summoning creatures, performing a royal sacrifice, and pairing lands as equipment.
