What’s Left to Build
In Hand
Easy to pick up. Brutal to master.
" Learn it in one match." A single clean combat rule — anyone plays their first match in minutes. No separate resource deck. No dead hands from missing resources.
"A lifetime to master it. " Block reflection, pierce, priority, faction synergies, deep combos. If you came from MTG or Yu-Gi-Oh! the ceiling is here for you.
"A dual-track deck. "Character cards give you identity and unique abilities; Domain cards define your city-state's battlefield. Pick a character, pick a city — your deck has a clear starting point.
"Two ways in. " A Story Mode lets solo and casual players live the world through its characters; constructed play rewards the hardcore deck-builders.

Future vision, not promised in this campaign: full animation production, expanded digital play, additional city-states, and new media formats.
WHY WE'RE DOING THIS
It started with a single card.
I was just a kid when Yu-Gi-Oh! found me. I emptied every bit of my allowance chasing "three copies of one card - ‘Elemental HERO Stratos. '” . Then a seller took my money and vanished — the cards never came. I thought that was the end of it.
What my friends did next, I've never forgotten: they pooled their own money, lent it to me, and helped me complete the deck in time for the tournament.
I took second place. I've forgotten almost every match since — but never that. That's when I learned the truth about this hobby: "it was never about the cards. It was about the people."
I grew up on mecha — Gundam, Dragon Ball, EVA. Somewhere along the way, a dream took root: to build a mecha trading card game of my own. For years it stayed just a dream, because one person cannot build a universe.
Then AI-assisted tools helped us prototype faster, while story, design, and final creative decisions remain human-led. Let me be clear: "the love, the story, and every creative decision are ours. AI is only a tool — the scaffolding. The soul is human." It gave me the courage to finally begin, and to gather friends who believe in this as much as I do.
Everything you've seen — the teaser, the novel, the cards — we made purely out of love. None of it has earned us a cent. To keep building, we need you.
So we’re a small team of players and creators asking the community to help finish the first release. It's players asking other players to help finish something we all wish existed.
