7 Constructed Formats
7.1 Constructed Format
Section titled “7.1 Constructed Format”Each player brings a main deck with 50 cards.
Card Tiers
Section titled “Card Tiers”Tiers determine how many copies of a card are allowed in a 50-card deck.
- Legendary: 1x per deck
- Primary: 2x per deck
- Secondary: 3x per deck
DBS and Deckbuilding
Section titled “DBS and Deckbuilding”DBS stands for Dynamic Balance Score, which is a point cost assigned to every card.
When you build a deck, add up the DBS points of every card in that deck, and all token cards in its token deck, if any. The total deck DBS score is used for matchmaking and similar uses.
DBS numbers are not found on the card. They’re available in the official card database, available at compete.wondersccg.com.
DBS is also a way of balancing overpowered cards and changing the metagame, so the values are expected to change on a regular basis.
Using DBS for matchmaking is optional for casual play.
Token Decks
Section titled “Token Decks”You can start the game with a token deck in addition to your main deck. A token deck starts with a minimum of 1 token and maximum 50 tokens.
When you create a token you can choose to select a printed one from your token deck or use a stand-in piece to represent it. If you don’t have any printed tokens that meet requirements in your token deck, you must use a stand-in.
The token deck is face up, generally visible to all players, and is not shuffled or kept in any particular order. It’s used mainly as a pool of cards to select from. Tokens have DBS points and their points are added to the DBS of the entire deck.
