Legality & Play Notes

Legality: unknown

Rules text:
“Each player shuffles their hand and puts it on the bottom of their deck. If either player put any cards on the bottom of their deck in this way, you draw 5 cards, and your opponent draws 4 cards. | You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn.”

Notes:
– Functionally, this is a hand reset that places hands on the bottom of decks, then creates an asymmetric redraw (you draw 5; your opponent draws 4).

Care & Storage Tips

To preserve the rainbow finish and surface quality:
– Sleeve immediately and store away from direct sunlight and moisture.
– Use a rigid top-loader or a binder with individual pockets to prevent bends and scratches.
– Minimize handling to maintain edges, corners, and foil integrity.
