Card-Pool Construction Rules

In Classic Constructed, each player registers their non-young hero card and 80 cards that make up their card-pool. The card-pool includes arena-cards (weapons, equipment, etc.), and deck-cards that will start in the player’s deck.

A card can only be included in a player’s card-pool if the card’s class/talents are a subset of the hero’s class/talents (e.g. a Light talent card can only be included in a card-pool if the hero has a Light talent). Generic cards can be included in any card-pool.

A card-pool may contain up to 3 copies of each unique card. A card is unique if it has a different name AND colour from another card. (e.g. Sink Below (red) is unique compared to Sink Below (blue) because they have different colours).

These rules are subject to the effects of the hero or cards in the card-pool, which may allow or limit what cards can be included (e.g. heroes with “Essence” allow certain talented cards to be included, even if the hero doesn’t have the same talent. Cards with “Legendary” limit themselves to only 1 in the card-pool).
