====== Acquiring cards ======

Cards can be gotten from winning duels, through the trader, or by completing achievements.\\
Custom cards, as encountered in game modes that support custom cards, can not be collected.

====== Core cards ======

The core cards are the hardcoded cards which players can build decks from. By default, opponents will also have decks using exclusively core cards.

====== Custom cards ======

Custom cards can appear in certain game modes and are randomly generated. These cards will use the images found on cards from the Core set, and will often have a similar role as the original card, but beyond that there's no link with the Core cards.

====== Mercenary cards ======

Every non-legendary ship card in the Core set also has a mercenary variant. This card is similar, but generally more powerful than the original, and will have a different name while still using the same card image. When Mercenary cards are aquired, they receive a random upgrade, which modify stats or abilities on the card. The card pages for ship cards will list the Mercenary variation without any upgrades.

====== Card lists ======

Every card in the Core set has a page on the wiki. Use the lists below to browse these pages.
