LimitedPowerIn Wizards of the Grimoire, you take the role of a wizard battling to defeat your rival.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
LimitedPowerEach player starts with 60 health, and the winner is the first player to reduce their opponent's health to 0.2player-table-94108238-health-value000player-table-94108238-health 1
LimitedPowerThe game setup includes a deck of spell cards...3spell-card-1-back000spell-deck 1
LimitedPower...and a deck of mana cards.4mana-card-1-back000mana-deck 1
LimitedPowerAt the start of the game, spells are dealt into the Spell Pool. A beginner game will have 8 spells and an advanced game will have 10.5spell-card-8-front000
LimitedPowerEach player has an area for their Spell Repertoire that can hold up to 6 spells.6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000player-table-94108238-spell-repertoire 1 player-table-84957972-spell-repertoire 1
LimitedPowerBefore the battle can begin, players build their Spell Repertoire by drafting their initial spells and then move into full turns. For this Opening Phase: the first player will choose a spell.7spell-card-36-front000
LimitedPowerAfter a spell is drafted, a new spell is added to the Spell Pool.1spell-card-64-front64e407e1ac6fd00
LimitedPowerThen second player will choose a spell. For this turn, select Living Wind and click the "Choose" button.2spell-card-53-front64e407e1af82810btn_confirm 1
LimitedPowerThe first Player will choose a second spell.1spell-card-52-front64e407f86d83700
LimitedPowerThen the second player moves into the full turn order actions.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e407fd2ee8400
LimitedPowerEach turn consists of 5 actions.2wg-phases64e407fd2ee8400game-phases 1
LimitedPowerThe first is selecting a new spell. Select Hellstorm.3spell-card-11-front64e407fd2ee8410btn_confirm 1
LimitedPowerNext, you will gain 3 mana cards. Mana cards have printed power values from 1 to 4.4mana-card-40-front64e408028409300player-table-94108238-hand-cards 1
LimitedPowerHere is the distribution of mana cards: Power 1 cards = 32 Power 2 cards = 16 Power 3 cards = 8 Power 4 cards = 45mana-card-40-front64e408028409300player-table-94108238-hand-cards 1
LimitedPowerThe fourth step is Cast Spells. To cast a spell, play mana cards equal to the number listed in the top left of the spell card.6spell-card-53-front64e408028427600
LimitedPowerThe power of the mana cards does not matter when casting spells. The number in the top left of the spell card only references the total number of mana cards you need to play.7spell-card-53-front64e408028427600
LimitedPowerYou can only cast a spell with no mana cards beneath it. Since this is the first turn none of your spells have mana under them and you can cast them.8player_table-94108238-mana-deck-164e408028427600player_table-94108238-mana-deck-1 1 player_table-94108238-mana-deck-2 1
LimitedPowerLet's cast Living Wind. Select the Spell Card, then Select the Power 2 mana card followed by the Power 1 mana card. Then confirm the action at the top of the screen.9player-table-9410823864e4080284cb210
LimitedPowerIn this tutorial, the cards may return to your hand. This will not happen while playing a real game.10player_table-94108238-mana-deck-164e4080284cb200
LimitedPowerGreat! You cast Living Wind and now have more mana to cast additional spells in the future.2mana-card-40-front64e4080c45b1e00
LimitedPowerNow Hellstorm will cast. It will draw additional mana cards and deal damage to your opponent.3spell-card-11-front64e4080c4610100
LimitedPowerWhen you finish casting all your available spells or decide to not cast any additional spells on your turn, you can move to the next action - Basic Attack.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e408269c29000
LimitedPowerClick the "Move to basic attack" button.2btn_pass64e408269c29010btn_pass 1
LimitedPowerSelect the Power 4 mana card in your hand then click the "Attack" button to complete the Basic Attack.1mana-card-40-front64e4082a8e0b910btn_attack 1
LimitedPowerThe card moves to the Basic Attack area. A Basic Attack deals damage to your opponent based on the power level of the card played. In this case, you deal 4 damage.1mana-card-40-front64e4082ccf3a900
LimitedPowerPlayers go back and forth through the 5 actions until one player is defeated. The game ends immediately when a player's health is reduced to 0.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4082ccf99b00
LimitedPowerLet's see how your opponent reacts. You can follow the action in the game log on the right of the screen.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4082ccf99b00
LimitedPowerAlright, back to you for another turn. You selected Growth to add to your Spell Repertoire.1spell-card-44-front64e4087f3800000
LimitedPowerNow to cover action 2 - Spell Cool Down. Throughout the game, your spells will have mana cards on them from when they were previously cast. During the Cool Down action, the top mana card from each spell is discarded.2player-table-9410823864e4087f3800000player-table-94108238-mana-cooldown 1
LimitedPowerAfter the Spell Cool Down and Gain Mana action, you are ready to start casting again. But first let's look at some key areas on the spell cards.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerThe Spell Type is indicated by the background color in the circle in the upper left corner.4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerDamage Spells have a red background and are primarily designed to inflict damage to your opponent.5spell-card-34-front64e4087f3b6ac00spell-card-27 1 spell-card-34 1 spell-card-62 1 spell-card-28 1 spell-card-31 1
LimitedPowerSpells with a green background are Regeneration Spells and provide ways to gain additional mana on your turn.6spell-card-64-front64e4087f3b6ac00spell-card-64 3
LimitedPowerUtility Spells have unique abilities to manipulate the state or rules of the game and are indicated by a purple background.7spell-card-8-front64e4087f3b6ac00spell-card-35 2 spell-card-5 2 spell-card-63 2 spell-card-8 2
LimitedPowerWithin the same circle is a symbol to indicate how the spell activates.8archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerAn Instant Spell has a downward facing arrow and the spell will resolve immediately.9spell-card-31-front64e4087f3b6ac00spell-card-31 1
LimitedPowerDelayed Spells have a dotted arrow pointing from left to right, they activate as mana is discarded off the spell.10spell-card-5-front64e4087f3b6ac00spell-card-5 2
LimitedPowerIt is important to note that picking up mana and discarding mana are different types of interactions and Delayed Spells only activate when mana is discarded.11spell-card-5-front64e4087f3b6ac00spell-card-5 2
LimitedPowerFinally, some spells have two arrows that form a circle. These are Ongoing Spells. The printed ability is constantly in effect as long as there is at least 1 mana card on the spell.12spell-card-63-front64e4087f3b6ac00spell-card-63 2
LimitedPowerIn the bottom right of each spell card are set symbols. Beginner cards have a single star, advanced cards have two stars, and cards from the 10 card expansion have a scroll symbol.13archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerA beginner game will only include cards with a single star. Advanced games include cards from both the beginner and advanced set.16archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerNow let's take a quick look at some areas of the BGA interface.17archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerThese magnifying glasses allow you to adjust the visual playing area.18bga-zoom-controls64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerEach spell card has a magnifying glass that allows you to enlarge the card to better view the card art and text.19spell-card-31-front64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerUnder each of your spells are the mana cards that were used to activate the spell.20mana-card-26-front64e4087f3b6ac00player-table-94108238-mana-cooldown 1
LimitedPowerThe number at the bottom is the number of mana cards currently in that stack. In this case, Living Wind has 1 mana card on it and Hellstorm has 3.21mana-card-26-front64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerThey cannot be cast again until all the mana cards are removed from the stack.22mana-card-26-front64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerThe numbers at the top represent the power of each mana card in the stack. Going from left to right, these are the cards at the bottom of your stack to the top.23player_table-94108238-mana-cooldown-icon-264e4087f3b6ac00player_table-94108238-mana-cooldown-icon-2 1
LimitedPowerThe Revealed Mana zone will be used by some spells to show cards from the mana deck.24mana-revealed-wrapper64e4087f3b6ac00mana-revealed-wrapper 1
LimitedPowerThis box lists the number of each power mana card currently in the discard pile. This may be useful information for some spells. The eyeball symbol on the discard pile will show you an expanded version of the discard pile.25mana-discard-info64e4087f3b6ac00eye-icon-discard 1 mana-discard-info 1
LimitedPowerSome other important things to remember:26archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4087f3b6ac00
LimitedPowerYou have a hand limit of 10 mana cards. If you start your turn with more than 10 mana cards, you must discard down to 10 before selecting a new spell.27player_small_board_9410823864e4087f3b6ac00player_small_board_94108238 1
LimitedPowerYou are limited to having 6 spells in your Spell Repertoire.28player-table-94108238-spell-repertoire64e4087f3b6ac00player-table-94108238-spell-repertoire 1
LimitedPowerAt the start of your turn, if you have less than 6 spells, you must take a new one. If you already have 6 spells in your repertoire, you may discard a spell to gain a new one, but only if there are no mana cards on that spell.29player-table-94108238-spell-repertoire64e4087f3b6ac00player-table-94108238-spell-repertoire 1
LimitedPowerRemember that the action steps are to gain a new spell, then cool down spells. So if you want to replace a spell, you will need to not cast it for one turn to be able to replace it on the next.30wg-phases64e4087f3b6ac00game-phases 1
LimitedPowerNow, you should be set to start to battling. I look forward to playing with you in the Arena.31archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment64e4087f3b6ac00
