=== Deck in ''Shadow Era'' ===

In [[:Category:Shadow_Era|Shadow Era]], a deck is a collection of [[:Category:Cards|cards]] that players assemble to compete in battles. 
The structure and composition of a deck are crucial for gameplay, as they determine the strategy and tactics available to the player. 
At the start of each turn (except for the player who goes first on their first turn), a card is automatically drawn from the deck and added to the player's [[:Category:Hand|hand]], provided the hand does not already have seven cards. If the deck is empty, the player's hero will take X damage, where X is the number of cards the player should have drawn.

==== Deck Structure ====
* A deck must contain at least '''39 cards''' plus one '''[[:Category:Heroes|Hero]]''' card, for a total minimum of '''40 cards'''.
* A deck can hold up to '''80 cards''' in total, including the hero.

These restrictions are enforced during the deck-building process, and no deck can be used in battle if it falls outside these parameters for rated games.

==== Hero Card ====
Each deck must include exactly one '''Hero''' card, which defines the deck's '''[[:Category:Classes|class]]''' (e.g., [[:Category:Warrior|Warrior]], [[:Category:Mage|Mage]]) and '''[[:Category:Factio|faction]]''' ([[:Category:Human|Human]], [[:Category:Shadow|Shadow]]). 
The hero determines which cards can be included in the deck: 
* '''Human''' heroes can only use Human and Neutral cards.
* '''Shadow''' heroes can only use Shadow and Neutral cards.
* '''Neutral''' cards can be used in any deck, regardless of the hero's class or faction.

==== Card Types ====
A deck is composed of various [[:Category:Cards|card types]], each serving a distinct role in gameplay:
* '''[[:Category:Allies|Allies]]''': Creatures that can attack, defend when attacked, has passive abilities and use active abilities.
* '''[[:Category:Abilities|Abilities]]''': Cards that perform a specific action, such as dealing damage or healing.
* '''[[:Category:Items|Items]]''': [[:Category:Weapons|Weapons]], [[:Category:Armor|armor]], [[:Category:Artifacts|artifacts]] and other equipment that stay in play and provide ongoing benefits.
* '''[[:Category:Location|Locations]]''': Cards that are placed between [[:Category:Game_Board|the two mats]] of the game, chaging the nature and the context of the battlefield.

==== Deck-Building Rules ====
The deck-building process involves selecting cards that fit within the limitations of the hero’s class and faction. 
*Players can:
*# Include '''up to four copies''' of any individual card in the deck, this rule applies to both [[:Category:Unique|unique]] and non-unique cards
*# Use '''Neutral''' cards in any deck to complement class-specific and faction-restricted cards. 

The deck-building interface provides various '''filters''' (as seen in the ''DeckBuilder.cs'' file) to help players refine their card selections by type, rarity, cost, and other parameters.

==== Preconstructed Decks ====
In addition to custom decks, players can purchase '''preconstructed decks''' from the in-game store. 
These decks are fully built and ready to use, offering a quick start for players who prefer not to build a deck from scratch.
