Transform

Card effect
Transformed cards become a random card of any rarity.

Transforming pulls a card from its pile and drops a replacement into the exact same slot.

  • Pool: a random Transform draws from the original card's own pool, your character's cards, except Quest, Event, Ancient and Token cards, which draw from the Colorless pool instead.
  • Rarity: unless the original is a Status or Curse, the result is Common, Uncommon or Rare, never the same card, and every eligible card is weighted equally, so Rare is as likely as Common.
  • In combat: the result must also be a card the game allows to generate mid-fight.
  • Eternal: Eternal cards cannot be transformed while in your deck, though a copy in your hand can be.
  • Record: deck transforms are written to run history; combat transforms count as generated cards.
