How does Vanguard work?
Vanguard is a constructed format that will be available in both casual and sanctioned play. It requires a minimum 61-card deck that includes exactly one Vanguard card. (All avatars are now displayed in your collection as Vanguard cards.) You can use the deck editor to build a Vanguard deck just like any other deck, just make sure you include exactly one Vanguard card in addition to the rest of your deck. Just like with other cards, you can only play with Vanguard cards if you own them. When you start a Vanguard game, each person’s Vanguard card is pulled out and put in a special zone (the “Vanguard Zone”) and their avatar is changed to match it. This zone functions similarly to the Removed From Game zone. Both players’ Vanguard zones will be visible on the screen when the game starts, but they can be minimized, the size can be adjusted, and they can be moved around. Activated abilities of Vanguard cards can be played by clicking on the Vanguard card. Will Avatar Abilities Ever Change?
