The theme behind this game is the concept of being a mage, who is battling for his life against other wizards in a Magical Duel.
I'm trying to create it as both a creative experiment, and a result of boredom and ambition.

Special Rules

This game can be played as both Multi-Deck and Single-Deck Dvorak. You can play up to three "Spell" cards a turn, regardless of the number of normal "Thing" or "Action" cards played.

Health

Each player starts with 15HP.

A player who has 0HP at the end of the round is eliminated from the game. You can not have less than 0HP.

Casting

Each player also starts the game with a Mana Limit of 3.

The corner number on a "Spell" card denotes the denotes the amount of Mana required to cast them.

Lingering Spells have a Mana amount, and a forward slash, after which shows the number of either turns(T) or rounds(R) that must pass before they expire.

Example: A Basic Ward has a corner number of (2/R3), which means that it uses up 2 Mana, and lasts until the start of the 3rd round since the ward was cast.

You can not cast a spell if the combined Mana value of all Spell cards that you have cast this turn, as well as those currently active and under your control, exceeds your Mana Limit.

After you check your hand size, you may choose to disable and discard any lingering spells under your control.
