Key takeaways
  • 1. Set the Soul card during setup
  • 2. Confirm the timing window on the card
  • 3. Hold it for a swing turn
  • 4. Play around counters

1. Set the Soul card during setup

Soul cards live in their own area from the start of the game; they are not drawn.

2. Confirm the timing window on the card

Some Souls resolve on your turn only, others react. Read the timing line before you commit.

3. Hold it for a swing turn

Playing a Soul on curve wastes it. The right turn is the one where it converts a losing trade into a winning one.

4. Play around counters

If the opponent is holding cards, expect a counter and sequence the Soul so a counter cannot undo the whole turn.

5. Log the outcome

Track which turn you used it and whether it changed the result; that decides whether the Soul stays in the list.
