The entire card collection from HD Xyth is present, with some minor changes here and there. Changes generally occur for two reasons : 1. card abilities have been updated to fit in the new ability system that HD3 supports, and 2. certain abilities are no longer planned to be used.
A custom card generator is present, which can create countless random, balanced cards, which can be made available in most game modes.
For the list of cards, refer to the HD3 forums for now. This topic lists all the cards.
Different from older versions of HD, cards in HD3 are no longer limited to one ability per type (and thus a maximum of 3 abilities per card), except for acti abilities and actions. Additional ability classes have been made : passives, aura abilities, and exit abilities.
