Based on the Magic: The Gathering game mode Vanguard, this set functions as a supplement for games using the Infinite Dvorak Deck.

Special Rules

Each player starts with 20 life and a persona card, which can be assigned randomly, picked, drafted, rotated, destined, imposed, supposed, proposed, traded, or whatever else works for your playgroup.
If a player is reduced to 0 or less life, that player is unavoidably eliminated.

Persona cards are not Things and cannot be altered or affected by other cards. Skill cards are not Actions or Things, though some personas may play them as such.
In a game with X players, add X+1 Power cards and 2*X+1 Skill cards to the deck, assuming a 100-card subset.
