Ethercore Cardgame

Build your deck. Break the Instance. Survive the Nexus.

Ethercore is a deckbuilding card game where you start with a small deck and add new cards as you play. Buy cards from the Instance, try different combinations, and build a deck that works for you.

Every card gives you Ether and has its own effect. There's no action limit, so you can keep playing cards as long as you have what you need.
