"The best indie TCG you've never heard of, but you'll be lucky to find." - Lee, AZ
Jake, AZ
“I like S3 because it's an easy to understand game with great lore and world building. The characters designs are fun and unique which is what initially drew me to it. I have played Yu-Gi-oh previously. Pace wise I think S3 is a lot more friendly to new TCG players and is fun to play."
Zack, MA
"Flippin good game. Lots of strategy and a very flexible game depending on what mode you play. I prefer the 3v3 mode. It's well balanced and endlessly enjoyable and the discord community is chill too."
Joseph, AZ
“I've been loving this game. It's like a simplified version of MTG Commander with a combo system based off of Battle Network. The community is small at the moment, but super friendly and helpful.”
