Cards
All decks on 5"x7.5" are worth 1. But some card types are much rarer than others. Players are only allowed to trade cards of matching rarities. (ex. a base card can only be traded for another base, rare for rare, promo for promo, scene for swatch, etc.)

Base Cards
The most common type, 20 cards per set. (Rarity of 1)

Rare Cards
6x as rare, 10 cards per set. (Rarity of 2)

Swatch Cards
9x as rare, 5 cards per set. (Rarity of 3) Every deck also has 1-3 swatch variant cards available. These cards have the same images as a swatch card, but have a different image in the swatch box. These variants are much rarer than their normal versions. For mastering the normal and variant are considered the same card, so only one is needed.

Scene Cards
9x as rare, 5 cards per set. (Rarity of 3)

Promo Cards
The rarest kind, 5 per set. (No defined rarity)
