The game plays out like a standard RTS game, where each player will take one side of a large map with a single goal: capturing all the key points. Instead of building bases, your deck serves as the source of your fighting units. Using a recharging mana system, you can summon monsters to capture points, or cast buffing, de-buffing, or direct damage spells.

Build powerful decks by either sticking to one element to execute a focused game plan, or mix and match elements to compensate for a given element's weakness and create unique combos.
The game looks very impressive, with the battlefield and units presented in 3D and beautiful illustrations for each and every card. Balancing between capturing points, the timing of summoning units and buffs, and positioning creates a lot of room of play. Having the choice of rushing to the point spells ablazing, or strategically create a diversion, then counter your opponent through the forests is pretty great.
