'''Mistbound''' is a grid-based collectible card battler. Two players build [[Cards|decks]] led by a [[Commanders|Commander]] and battle on a tactical grid until one Commander is defeated.

== The battlefield ==
Matches are fought on a '''5×3 grid'''. Units occupy squares and can be moved between spaces on the grid, making positioning a core part of play.

== Objective ==
The goal is to '''defeat the opponent's Commander unit'''. The Commander begins the match already on the board (see [[Commanders]]).

== Mana ==
Cards are played by spending '''mana''', shown as a blue diamond in the top-right corner of a card. Players have a maximum of '''10 mana per turn'''.

== Playing cards ==
* '''[[Cards#Unit|Units]]''' are placed onto the grid. A unit '''cannot move or attack on the turn it is played'''.
* '''[[Cards#Spell|Spells]]''' resolve their effect once and are sent to the graveyard.
* Many cards trigger [[Keywords|keyword abilities]] such as '''Entrance''' when they enter the battlefield.

== Open questions ==
Several rules are not yet fully documented:
* Where the Commander is first deployed.
* Where units may be placed on the board when played.
* Whether each player starts with the full 10 mana.
* The "stall" mechanic — how a player can lose without their Commander being killed.
* Whether there is a turn timer, and how long it is.
* Whether melee units take retaliation damage when attacking ranged units.
* Whether a melee unit moves into a tile after eliminating the enemy occupying it.
* Whether units can attack diagonally.
