Triggers Deck
0
Overview
The Triggers Deck introduces randomized global effects that shift gameplay tempo. Each trigger changes how spells, abilities, or phases behave for a short time.
Setup
Shuffle the Triggers Deck. Draw and reveal one trigger every 3-4 turns, or when a specific in-game event occurs (like the destruction of a permanent). Agree in advance.
Trigger Duration
Triggers are typically short-lived, lasting 1 full rotation of turns or until the next trigger replaces them. Some groups use counters or tokens to track duration.
Random vs. Strategic Use
You can pre-assign triggers or roll dice to randomize which is revealed. Triggers often create swingy, chaotic turns that disrupt static board states.
Design Tip
Triggers add unpredictability and force adaptation. Ideal for casual, chaotic, or event-based sessions.
