How to Play

This page tells you how to play Blox Cards. If there's something you can't find in this guide, try looking in the other guides. If this article isn't as detailed as you'd like, you are advised to watch TSL Studios' guide on YouTube here. If you're in a hurry, there's shorter summaries of the contents in the 6th and 7th videos in the playlist. An updated guide is here.
== Starting a battle ==
thumb|alt=Roblox Screen Shot|The battle summary in the player list.
To battle, open the Main Menu then click the green Play button. You can challenge other users to battle by clicking the "CHALLENGE" button. If they accept, then the battle will begin. But if you are the one being challenged, you can either accept or decline their challenge. Their challenge will always go to the top of the list. Furthermore, you can watch other users' battles by clicking the "SPECTATE" button to the right of the battle status. If you click on the "Battling [enemy name here]," it'll give you a quick summary of what the match looks like at that point in time. There are bots scattered around the map, they mostly give BloxBux and cards as rewards, Their locations can be found in the List of AI page.
== Cards ==
Cards come in 5 colors:
* Colourless (Also known as White or Neutral)
* Red
* Green
* Blue
* Yellow
The card's color is seen in the background of its art or the card's border.
A card can be also be of one of 6 rarities:
* Common
* Uncommon
* Rare
* Epic
* Legendary
* Token
A card's rarity determines how many of it you can have in your deck at one time, Common being 4 cards, Uncommon 3 cards, Rare being 2 cards and both Epic and Legendary being 1 card. You cannot add Tokens to your deck.
There are 3 types of cards: Fighters, Actions, and Terrains. Fighter cards have Health and Power, and most have some form of effect. Action trigger their effect and are then removed from play. Some actions give a copy of themselves to you or to your opponent after being used, examples being Roblox Gift Card and Living World. Terrain cards are like action cards except they remain in play and can have additional effects until they are removed or another terrain card takes their place. Terrain cards can also be made into Fighters via an effect.
== Health and Power ==
Cards have health (green) and power (orange). When a card's health runs out, it dies. When a card attacks another, two things happen:
* The attacking card damages the attacked card's health equal to the attacking card's power.
* The attacked card counterattacks, dealing damage equal to its own power to the attacking card's health.
If a card with 500 health and 500 power were to attack another with 600 health and 300 power, the first card would be left with 200 health and the second with 100.
== Studs and Cost ==
Every card costs a certain amount of Studs. The cost of a card is shown as a row of circles. Studs are colored, much like cards. The game does not consider Colourless to be a color. You pay Studs to cast a card. There are four ways to gain Studs. The first way is to have cards on your field, where they will generate a Stud of their color every time your turn ends, if they are not inert in play. If you were to have 3 Red and 2 Yellow cards on your field, you would get 3 Red and 2 Yellow Studs at the end of your turn. The second way is to have cards in your Baseplate. At the end of your turn, you gain 2 free Colourless studs and your colored studs are set to the number of cards in your Baseplate of their respective color, and your field generates. The third way is to discard a card in your hand by swiping it downwards (for mobile) or right-clicking it (for PC) (The first non-Colourless, non-inert-when-discarded card you discard each turn puts that card into the Baseplate). The fourth way is to trigger a card's effect that gives Studs.
== Locks ==
Locked cards cannot attack. A card will be locked for one turn (or two turns on the first turn of the battle) when it is played, unless it has the Haste passive effect. The number on the lock tells you how many turns the card will remain locked. Locked cards lose one lock at the end of every turn after the first turn of the battle.
== Attacking ==
Only unlocked cards can attack. To attack, click an unlocked card on your field, then click a card on your enemy's field. Some cards cannot attack, such as StayBlue.
== Winning ==
To win, you must deplete your opponent's Life to 0. There's many ways to do this, but the most common one is attacking your opponent's face card. Your opponent has a face card, which is revealed when they have no fighters on their field. Attacking this face card will deplete their Life. When your opponent has no cards in their deck, they will take 'fatigue' damage at the start of their turns. Certain card effects can increase or decrease your opponent's Life.
== Buying cards ==
Cards are bought in packs from the Card Shops, which are found in the Main Menu and in the world. Each pack holds different kinds of cards. Packs cost BloxBux, a currency you can earn by battling (both winning and losing) and by codes. You can scroll through the packs using your scroll wheel (for PC) or swiping left and right (on mobile). To open a pack, click on the pack.
== The deck builder ==
Your collection is on the left, your deck is on the right. Save a deck by quitting the deck builder. You can switch deck slots by clicking the deck slot switched in the bottom bar (this will discard your edits to your current deck). You can only exit the deck builder with a 40 card deck. Scroll through your collection by swiping left and right, pressing A and D, left or right clicking the screen, or using your scroll wheel. Left-click cards in your collection to add them to your deck, right-click them to remove them from your deck. Left-click cards in your deck to remove them from your deck, right-click cards in your deck to add more of them to your deck. Click the colors to exclude or include them from your view. Use the search bar to search for names, descriptions, effect descriptions, and triggers, archetypes, and more. Use the zoom slider to adjust how many cards are visible in your collection.
== Sleeves ==
Sleeves are cosmetic 'card backs' you can purchase for your cards. They look neat, but that's all they do.
== Levels and stats ==
Your level and rank are shown in the Main Menu. Click the Ranks & Stats button to change your rank or look at your stats.
== Trade ==
To trade, you will need to reach level 7 and play on a registered Roblox account. Up top are your offers, below are the other user's. The controls for adding and removing cards are identical to the normal deck builder. When you're ready, check the Ready box, then click Complete Trade.
== Auctions and Art cards ==
Auctions are automatic timed events where an Epic or Legendary card is sold for BloxBux. Art cards are alternative arts of already existing cards, Those can be obtained in event packs, Innovative and the Art Box.
