* NoExportForYou: Everything beyond the first six sets due to the above mentioned InvisibleAdvertising and TheyJustDidntCare

* AwesomeYetPractical: With some exceptions, it's actually relatively easy to utilize the effects of the best cards.

The goal of the game is to deplete the opponents 5 lives through summoning spirits, placing nexues, and casting magic. Cores, which are generated each turn, are necessary to perform such

actions but costs can be reduced through reductions by having the number of color Spirits/Nexuses the card specifices at the top left.

* '''Ultimate''': The newest type of creature, it should be noted that these are NOT spirits, and use a different symbol from the usual 6, a Gold star-like one. To summon one, you must meet the conditions for it that are written on the card. Unlike most normal Spirits. They have an ability called '''Ultimate Trigger''', which activates when the Ultimate attacks. The top card of the opponents deck is discarded, and if the cost is lower than the Ultimate, it's a '''hit''' and the Ultimate's effect activates. With certain Ultimates, if the card meets addtional requirements (the "hit" card is a Magic Card, has a cost of 3, etc.), it's a '''Critcal Hit''', and a second effect activates. If the cost is higher than the Ultimate, it's considered a '''Guard''' and nothing happens. They are considered overpowered due to the above mentioned stats and the fact that they're immune to cards that don't specifcially target Ultimates, start at level 3 and go up to 5, and have BPs that can reach around 20,000. Though, they can't be used in cost reductions to summon normal spirits, neither can they they Br

* NoExportForYou: Everything beyond the first set due to the above mentioned InvisibleAdvertising and TheyJustDidntCare
* NeedsWikiMagicLove

* '''Red''': With the Ruby as its symbol, Red cards are mainly aggressive and have many effects that are activated when the player is attacking. Red cards also have many destructive effects that change the game situation drastically. Red Spirits are usually dragons or various reptiles. An example of a Red card is “Flame Tempest”. It destroys all spirits with 3000BP or less.
* '''Green''': With the Emerald as its symbol, Green cards have comparatively cheap costs and high BP for their costs. They are good at generating cores in which they can give a player an early resource advantage in the game. Green Spirits are usually insects, plants, or other wildlife. An example of a Green card is the Spell "Potion Berry". It enables you to add a core to your reserve.
* '''Purple''': With the Amethyst as its symbol, Purple cards are good at causing pain to your opponent outside of the battle. Purple is notorious for effects that play with the core layout of their opponent, like removing core from opposing Spirits in an attempt to deplete them. They also have many cards which enables you to draw more. Purple Spirits are usually demons and the undead. One of the typical Purple cards is “The Shackles of Doom”. It prohibits spirits with only one core on them from attacking or blocking. It stalls the game and gives you enough time to draw a killer card.
* '''White''': Saddled with the Diamond as its Symbol, White cards are mainly defensive and many have effects that activate when they block. Even when you have less spirits than your opponent does, white Spirits will protect your Life with their strong defensive power. White Spirits are usually machines or Artic animals. One of the typical White cards is “Pure Elixir”. It refreshes all of your exhausted spirits. Two more coveted magic cards are "Holy Elixir" and "High Elixir". They increase your life by 1 and 2 in the flash timing.
* '''Blue''': Saddled with the Sapphire as its symbol, Blue cards are gladiators, golems, and other powerful warriors that have trained hard to achieve the next level of power. They mainly have the power to demolish your opponent's deck. The "Stone-statue" is a great example of this type of effect because just by playing him you send the top card of the opponents deck to the trash zone.
* '''Yellow''': Saddled with the Topaz as its symbol, Yellow cards may look weak compared to some other spirits when looking at things like cost and BP but have amazing effects that give you a powerful advantage when it comes to magic. Yellow is great at working with other colors to boost the power of their magic and allows you to change the outcome of a game no matter how much stronger the opponent may seem. Yellow Spirits are usually fairy tale creatures and angels, it also contains the cute [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins Pentan race]] One of the many ways that yellow helps you is with the card “Trickster” by allowing you to reuse a magic card you've already played.

* '''Great Demolish: Spirits with Great Demolish have the effects texts listed as follows: If an effect gives a spirit Great Demolish, it gets the following text: (When Attacks): Move cards from the top of your opponent's deck to their Trash equal to this spirit's LV x5. This effect is in blue.
