The deck
15 cards chosen from the 12 catastrophes, with as many repeats as you like, up to 32 points (light 1, medium 2, heavy 3) and up to 6 heavy cards. The same deck works in all three modes; you can save up to 3.

You can't throw everything at once: your hand and the draw timer hold you back. Every card is a decision.

How it works
The Director's rules
The hand
You start with 4 cards and can hold up to 15. If you draw with a full hand, that card is lost. You can discard up to 3 at once: on the next draw you get the regular card plus replacements for the ones you discarded.
The draw timer
You draw a card every 15 s in Act I, every 10 s in Act II and every 8 s in Act III. One timer for the whole deck.
No waiting
There's no cooldown between cards: play whatever you want, whenever you want, and the catastrophe hits the instant you press. Spend it all and you're out of cards.
Smart draw
Cards you can't play yet don't come to you: they stay in the deck for later. Heavy cards and level III arrive in Act II.
One flood at a time
There can only be one lava flood on the map, counting both Directors'. If there's already one, the other stays in your hand.

Fuse
Two of a kind level up
Drag a card onto an identical one of the same level: it climbs through bronze, silver and gold (I → II → III). Two level II cards give you one level III plus a spare level I, which goes back to your hand.
- ITwo level I cards make one level II.
- IITwo level II cards make one level III and one level I.
- IIIA level III card can't go any higher.
Combine
The 56 combinations
Two different cards make a reaction with its own artwork, at the level of the higher one. Both catastrophes come out at that level, plus the reaction's own effect. Creature with creature doesn't combine, and a combined card can't be merged again.

Evolve
The 37 mutations
At the start of the match and at every choice pause, the Director picks one mutation out of 3 (whoever is behind sees 4). They only come from catastrophes in your deck and never repeat; those for heavy cards appear from Act II on. Get 3 from the same family (creatures, elements or control) and the next offer brings its legendary.
