Crusaders Trading Card Game

How To Play Crusaders:

Your deck must have a total of 20 cards, with at least 2 spoils of war (The cards that just have a name and a description), and at least 3 creatures (The cards that have a name, attack power: The sword's number, and defense power: the shield's number, along with a quote at the bottom right corner). Your deck must also have one declaration of war. You can't have more than 2 of the same of the same card in your deck based on name, for example, you can't have 3 cards named "Animal" in your deck, even if some of the things on the other things on the cards are different.

To begin the game, seperate your deck into 2 different decks, one with all of your spoils of war, and the other with all your creatures. Shuffle both decks and draw 3 creatures from your creatures deck, and 2 spoils of war from your spoils of war deck, line up your creatures in however order you like, this is called your lineup. Flip a coin or roll a dice to decide who goes first or second.

The creatures in your lineup cannot be moved unless moved by a spoil of war or a creature's ability, and cannot start attcking the creature at the front of your opponent's lineup. When a declaration of war is played into your spoils of war deck's discard pile, at the end of each players turn they must use the attack power listed on the card next to the sword, or if it has been upgraded or downgraded by an ability or spoil of war on either side, the new attack power, and, if those attacks at any point add up to the current defense power on a creature it goes in the creatures deck's discard pile. You win if you knock out the last creature in your opponent's lineup.

You can only draw a card if an ability or spoils of war card form either player allows you specifically to draw one.

All abilities and what they do will be listed here:

Forced Alliance: If there are no creatures behind this creature in the lineup, draw a card from your creature deck, and place it behind this creature in your lineup. You cannot use this ability if there is a creature behind the creature with this ability.
