GAME mechanics

• Hand Management: In Magic: The Gathering - Arena of the Planeswalkers, each player has a deck of cards representing their magical abilities. Players draw cards to form a hand that can contain spells, creatures, or other abilities. Effective management of these cards is crucial, requiring strategic decisions about which cards to play, keep for future strategies, or discard. Hand management is directly linked to the player's ability to adapt their strategy, plan future turns and react to opponent moves. Cards are played according to mana limitations and tactical situations, directly impacting the course of the match.
• Movement in Grids: The game uses a checkered board, where the positioning and movement of the figures are crucial. Each creature has a movement value that determines how many spaces it can move in a single action. Movement on grids allows for advanced tactics, such as flanking, covering and controlling territory. Players must consider elevations and special terrain on the board that can affect the range and effectiveness of their units' attack and defense. Moving strategically can mean the difference between victory and defeat, maximizing attacks and minimizing vulnerabilities.
• Modular tray: The game has a board modified from modular pieces, which allows the battlefield to be customized for each match. This means that each game can have a different layout, influencing strategy and tactics. Players can build the field with different obstacles, elevated terrain and resources. The modular board increases replayability, forcing players to adapt to new strategic configurations, testing their ability to adjust to the environment in front of the opponent, making each confrontation unique.
