The idea is both players use this deck and draw all cards and play with an open hand. Both avatars also begin the game with only 5 life.
This takes a lot of the variables away like what cards you and your opponent will draw, threshold issues, and complicated rule combinations, and instead focuses the game down to basic movement and abilities like airborne, charge, burrow, and ranged.
The hope is this will distill the game down to a quicker, chess-like variant that will allow players to learn much more quickly the nuances of combat and site placement.
