Classes
Factions
Every faction is a class led by one hero. When you build a deck you pick a hero first: the deck may then use that hero's faction cards plus any neutral card.
378 neutral cards fit into every deck. Faction cards are where each class finds its identity: its tribes, its tricks and its finishers.
