Welcome back to Part 2 of our Neverrift Glossary series! 🎮
In Part 1, we explored "Adjacent, Battleground and Attack". Now, it’s time to continue building your knowledge with three more important terms: Controller, Destroy, and Discard.
Whether you’re a new player or simply looking to sharpen your understanding of the game, knowing these terms will help you follow the rules and make more informed decisions on the battlefield.
1. Controller
A creature is controlled by a player if the token marking it is flipped on that player’s color.
In other words, the side of the token tells you which player currently controls that creature.
2. Destroy
When a card is destroyed, it is moved from the battlefield into its owner’s discard pile.
Destroying a card removes it from the battlefield, potentially changing the course of the game and disrupting your opponent’s plans.
Remember: A destroyed card goes to its owner’s discard pile, not the controller’s discard pile.
3. Discard
Discarding means moving a card from a player’s hand into that player’s discard pile.
The discard pile is located beside the drawing pile and is always visible to both players.
Keeping track of discarded cards can help you better understand the state of the game and the options available to each player.
Remember: Discarding a card from your hand is different from destroying a card on the battlefield!
📖 Quick Recap
- Controller: Determined by the side toward which the creature’s marking token is flipped.
- Destroy: Moves a card from the battlefield to its owner’s discard pile.
- Discard: Moves a card from a player’s hand to that player’s discard pile.
That’s it for Part 2 of the Neverrift Glossary! Keep these terms in mind during your next game, and stay tuned as we continue exploring the language of Neverrift.
