Yerocs TCG Hangout

Yeroc missed the days back on earth, where he would be able to play some of his favorite Trading Card Games with his friends. Eventually, he got the idea to bring the world of Earthen Card games to Rkadia!

I would recommend figuring out what you want your deck to be before you start creating one.

Now, you are ready!

1. Click "Deck Editor".
2. Type the card name you want in "Quick Search". Once you get better at deck building, you can utilize the filters on the side to search for card types in your theme deck.
3. If you want to play by a specific card set, select it from "Format". To see all cards, select the Format and choose "Any".
4. As you search for cards, they will populate in the list. Click a card to select it. Then, click the numbered buttons at the bottom to add the cards you want into the deck.
5. When you have all the cards you want, type the name of your deck in the top. Then, select "Save Deck".

You now have a saved deck! Follow these steps over and over to make more.

### Connecting to a Server to Play

Make sure you know the name of the server an Rkade Admin has created before you start the process! Sometimes, there will also be a password.

1. Click the "Server" tab at the top.

You're ready to play!

## How to Play a Game on LackeyCCG

Game rules will slightly vary between games. However, we will focus on Magic the Gathering as it is the most complex game. Please make sure you follow the steps above before you try this!

### Shuffle your deck

Right click "Library" then click "Shuffle".

### Drawing Cards

To draw a single card, press the "Draw Card" button.

To draw 7 cards, press the + symbol next to the word "Log" over your chat box. It will open many commands. One of them is /draw 7. Click that.

Take the time to look at other buttons in the log!

### Playing Cards

Drag and drop the cards onto the playing field.

You can drag and drop multiple places - for example if you wish to send a card to the "Graveyard", you can drag it and drop it to the Graveyard tab.
