This is the release card waiting for you

Archangel Gabriel, MR-R1-103, the Sky faction's release commander. Move your mouse or scroll to see the foil light shift: the exact same interactive card you will see again once you are signed up and waiting for the beta.

Aktiv: Aktivieren, nur in deiner Hauptphase, einmal je eigenem Zug: Wenn mindestens 1 Kiste an diesem Himmel-Commander liegt, nimm 1 eigene offene Himmel-Einheit auf dem Schlachtfeld, die keine Marke ist, mit gedruckten Kosten von mindestens 3 und genau 7000 aktuellen ATK auf deine Hand zurück. Wähle danach 1 Karte aus deiner Hand und lege sie verdeckt als unterste Rücklage unter ein gewähltes eigenes stehendes Gebäude mit freiem Rücklagenplatz. Dein Commander erhält +1000 ATK bis zum Beginn deines nächsten Zuges. Die angehängte Kiste wird nicht verbraucht. Nur aktivierbar, wenn alle Schritte möglich sind; die bestehende Rücklagenkapazität gilt. Deckbau: Zusätzlich sind Offene Pforte-Karten meines Lagers erlaubt, auch außerhalb meiner Klassen.

From a walk to a border, from a border to a card

Your path draws a border. The ground you claim is meant to earn you cards.

The figures below are real: a route recorded at the Rotes Rathaus in Berlin. Once the beta opens and basic training is done, claiming ground like this is planned to pay out a card pack.

The same loop, drawn as a card.

With the beta, every new loop from 2,000 m² is planned to pay out a card pack. The bigger the ground, the better your chances.

Two steps

What sign-up means today

Signing up reserves your place. Nobody plays without a confirmed account before the beta opens: game access follows the goal of 1,000 confirmed sign-ups worldwide, then the beta release. Confirmed sign-ups made before that point carry a cosmetic founder mark on their profile; sign-ups continue after the goal is reached, there is no cutoff.

Account
One confirmed account per person; that is what the counter counts.

Friends

Invite friends, earn promo packs

Promo packs carry no extra playing strength, they are cosmetic.

Your own personal invite link that credits you for a friend's confirmation appears in your account once you have signed up and confirmed it; this page has no link to attribute a sign-up to you yet, so it shares the general sign-up page below.

Invitation
A friend counts once they have created an account and confirmed their email.
Pack
One promo pack with one card for every friend who confirms, up to ten.
Opening
Packs open once the beta starts.
Limit
After ten packs, more friends still count toward the goal but bring no further packs.
