This game is themed on "Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind" graphic novels infused with the basic mechanics of Magic: The Gathering (MTG). It is the fruition of my desire to compress some of the most enjoyable aspects of MTG for the casual gamer. I wanted to get closer to the theatrical 'heart-of-the-cards' scenario as seen in Yugi-Oh (also based on MTG) to this end there is only 30 cards.  
This game is themed on "Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind" graphic novels by Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli fame.


I wanted a game that gets away from the power gamer mindset and into a more creative and collaborative event. The single deck meets this need. Players need not construct their own deck to play. This eliminates playing against incompatible decks. Being a single deck means it could not be a narrow deck aimed at winning mercilessly the same way again and again, instead I wanted to see interesting interactions where each game is different.
==Special Rules==


The game ends when one player is eliminated (highest life total at this point wins), this fits my goal of encouraging inclusiveness rather than exclusivity. The game is extremely quick playing as all Things have Haste. The speed of play balanced by the decision making aspect where players must choose which card to discard in order to be able to play another. More powerful cards can be played for the same 'cost' as any other cards, but they cannot dominate play due to the small card pool in which there are ways to deal with these threats, be it countering, cloning, or controlling etc.
The following 33 cards form a single deck to be shared by all players. The discard pile is also shared and is reshuffled to form a new deck when the original deck has been depleted.
