   -Note: You may skip your location phase to draw an additional card from the top of your main deck.

​

•Main Phase:

   During this phase, you may do the following in any order.

      - MOVING POSITION: Once during your turn, a player is allowed to move the position of ONE warrior by one space (horizontal or vertical), but if the terrain you are moving it to is full you may switch those warriors.

Also, the check to meet any requirements.

trigger effect even if the cost is not met. Then send those cards to your soul

stock once the triggers are resolved. Then apply any damage on the

revealed cards to your ancient. After the damage step, you may go back

to the attacking step to attack with another warrior if any.
