This game is themed on "Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind" graphic novels infused with the basic mechanics of Magic: The Gathering (MTG).
This game is themed on "Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind" graphic novels by Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli fame.


It is the fruition of my desire to compress some of the most enjoyable aspects of MTG for the casual gamer. My aim was to encourage inclusiveness rather than exclusivity. 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 unique cards, each of which holds potential as a resource as well as a 'spell' that can affect gameplay.
==Special Rules==


I wanted a game that gets away from the power-gamer mindset and into a more creative and collaborative event therefore each player shares the same 30 card deck. The game ends when one player is eliminated and the player(s) with the highest life total at this point wins.  
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.


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. A deck that could be taken, for example, on camping/fishing trips and satisfy extended play within the limited constraints.
==Card List==


At the start of each players turn they untap all permanents they control and draw a single card. Each player starts with 20 life. When a player needs to draw a card but the Deck is empty, reshuffle the Discard Pile and make a new Deck. (This does not end the game).

|title=Imperial Decree
|type=Action
|text=You win the game if you control the following Things:

This game is extremely quick playing as all Things have Haste so that they can use their in-built Actions in the same turn they are played (THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF THINGS OR ACTIONS A PLAYER CAN PLAY IN ANY TURN). The speed of play is balanced by the decision making aspect. To play a card you must first be able to choose and discard a card. (There are no Lands or Mana costs). You can play any number of Things or Actions in this way each turn as long as you first discard a card to play the card. Actions on Things do not require a discard to play but do require tapping the card sideways. There is no maximum hand size.

The starting hand for 2 players is 7 cards, this is the easiest way to conduct a game in solo play.
{{card
It is an easy game for solo play due to minimum record keeping. For more than two players, reduce the number of cards in the starting hand. Try and see what works best.

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, controlling or removal.
