Mythic Duel
A scholarly trading-card game forged from the Unicode restoration of mythological names. Collect the pantheons, master the ink, duel the Oracle.
The Oracle Path
Five gates, each a harder Oracle. Win twice in a row to ascend; lose twice and it relents. Every gate cleared pays its tribute in ink.

How to Play
✦ Ink
Ink is your only currency. Your maximum rises by one each round (up to 10) and refills every turn. Spend it to summon cards — and earn more of it in battle to buy packs.
⚔ Combat
Minions strike and counter-strike simultaneously. A minion cannot attack the turn it is played, and each minion attacks once per turn. Reduce the enemy hero from 30 HP to 0 to win.
≫ Speed
A faster attacker outmaneuvers its defender: the counter-attack is halved. Slow effects halve a minion's speed permanently — softening even the mightiest foe.
✧ Abilities
Invocations fire when played, katabases when destroyed, epithets while on board. Syzygy cards reward playing multiple cards in one turn. All 25 scholarly effect kinds are live.
Collection
Your scholarly archive.
Open Packs
Spend Ink on booster packs from the First Restoration set. Duplicates stack in your collection.
