## What is Magic Card Duel?

Magic Card Duel is a turn-based strategy game set in a shadow-filled fantasy realm. Every battle begins with five cards in your hand. Pick 1 to 5 cards, build powerful hand combinations, and strike abyssal guardians before they counterattack.

Each turn is a duel of timing and choice. Play now for immediate damage, refresh weak cards at half cost, or cast an arcane spell to reshape your next strike. Cards you keep stay in your hand, so smart players plan across turns instead of rushing every draw.

HOW EACH BATTLE WORKS

Each turn, five cards appear before you. Tap to select the ones you want to use. Hit Play to evaluate your chosen hand and deal damage. Hit Refresh to swap selected cards and keep building. After you act, the guardian counterattacks. Stack shield from strong hands, manage mana carefully, and push through five escalating boss battles from the Shadow Guardian to the Void Sovereign.

WHAT MAKES DARK CARD DUEL DIFFERENT

Flexible selection: You are not forced to play all five cards every turn.
Refresh vs Play: Refresh costs half as much mana as Play, so weak draws do not have to become weak attacks.
Three arcane spells: Suit Assimilate for flush setups, Ladder Surge for straight lines, and Golden Seven for the legendary 7-7-7-7-7 finisher.
Limited spell charges per boss: Arcane power is precious, especially against deeper guardians.
Ten hand ranks: From High Card to Five Golden Sevens, each combo delivers different damage, shield, and mana rewards.
THE FUN IN EVERY RUN

There is a sharp rhythm to each battle: select, combo, strike, brace for the counter, then strike again with cards you kept. Land a flush and watch your shield rise. Chain spells into a straight. Build toward Golden Seven and unleash a battle-ending payoff. Daily rewards, achievements, level progression, and personal bests keep every run worth one more fight.
