Many of the cards are faction-specific. However, players will also gain access to ten neutral cards that can be used with all factions. The expansion also comes with new abilities and mechanics. One of them is called “Adrenaline,” which only triggers when players have a specific number of cards or less to play.

With all of the new content, players will have fresh synergies to test out and take advantage of in the game.
