# Draft

<figure><img src="/files/pg07lUh29UFfIMYcaChf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Before each match, every player must select up to 10 cards from their collection, one hero, and up to 4 talents. Only 6 cards will participate in the actual battle — 3 cards the player prepared in advance, and 3 chosen during the draft phase.

**Draft mechanic:**

* Each player holds up to 10 of their own cards + 20 cards from a shared draft pool.
* A player's hand, talents, and hero are hidden from the opponent, while the shared draft pool is open. This means players don't know their opponent's full hand before the battle begins.
* **Player A** picks 1 card from the shared pool and 2 from their own hand.
* **Player B** picks 2 cards from the shared pool and 1 from their own hand.
* **Player A** picks 1 card from the shared pool and 2 from their own hand.
* **Player B** picks 1 card from the shared pool and 2 from their own hand.

*P.S. The draft mechanic may change — this is just the base test version.*
