Energy is the fuel tank

Mechanics only after the basics

Hook

Attacks need fuel. “I need Energy” is a real sentence, not a vibe complaint.

Why kids light up

Resource drama is delicious. The next card can change everything.

Tonight spark

How many Energy do they “usually want” in a deck? Wrong answers welcome and celebrated.
