Summoner's Showdown

A Splinterlands-themed card game of high-stakes mana management. Build your War Chest, risk an Ante, and challenge the computer in a battle of wits!

How to Play

1. Build Your War Chest

Select exactly 30 cards from your collection to serve as your deck for the entire match. Choose wisely!

2. Place Your Ante

Risk one card from your War Chest. The winner of the match (best of 5 rounds) takes the loser's ante card!

3. Win the Round

This is "Mana Blackjack." Get your hand's total Mana Cost (the number in the corner 💧) as close to the Mana Cap as possible without going over ("Bust").

Hand Bonuses (What Beats What)

Your score is your `Mana + Hand Bonus + Ante Bonus`. Hand bonuses are key to winning!
