How To Play
Manacaster offers multiple game modes to suit your style—whether you thrive on PvP mind games or prefer a solo campaign grind. All modes are playable vs AI or human.
Constructed Mode lets you bring a 50-card deck and 13 Mana to battle, perfect for ranked ladder play.
Draft Mode features a live card-by-card build with a twist: burn cards to deny your opponent and gain a reward.
RPG Mode takes you through themed dungeons where you loot Items and refine your build one battle at a time.
Plan Your Strategy
In Manacaster, skill leads to victory.
Players get to craft their opening hand
from a set of options, and both players
deploy a Mana resource of choice every
turn (up until turn 12), ensuring that
strategic decision making is more
important than the luck of the draw.
Inflict Massive Damage
Each of the elemental types in Manacaster possesses powerful Keyword abilities. Use Keyword combinations like Twinstrike and Heavy to push through extra damage, or Parry and Extract to deflect damage and gain Life Points. Click here to see the full list of Keywords and the rules!
