Very interested, but a couple of questions first. When 2 players get into a battle, does the spirit of the archmage in the ring “possess” them? (Like yugi from Yugioh). Are we limited to only the starter decks you’ve provided or can we make our own as long as they’re pre approved by you? And finally are their any cards that don’t have time limits on them? When it comes to card games I’m an extremely “weather them down over time” player. Also i don’t know if you’re taking suggestions, but spells would be a very promising card type for this game along with spicing up duels quite a bit.

1. The battlemage is 'called upon' and then the character takes control of the body of the archmage.

2. You are limited to starter decks I've provided, but not just the example ones provided, as I make more cards there will be more deck types available.

3. All cards have time limits, but some stick around longer than others and have higher damage resistence so you can still use an 'outlast' strategy.

4. Not taking any suggestions for new card types, but in place of 'spells' many of the cards have effects and abilities which function like magic cards in place of that.
