The Grand Archive TCG is one of hottest Kickstarter TCGs of all time, and it's no surprise why: The development team at Weebs of the Shore have created an elegant marriage of tight, western-style game design similar to games like Magic: the Gathering and Flesh and Blood, and stunning and lovable Anime-inspired artwork and characters like those from the most popular Gacha games.
In this video, the first in our "The Ultimate HOW TO PLAY" series, we aim to show you everything you need to know to start playing the game in under 30 minutes.
If you have any questions, please ask in the comments - we will pin an FAQ to the top to cover anything we missed or that needed more detail!
Grand Archive's first set, Dawn of Ashes, ships to KS backers in Q4 2022, and is planned to be in full distribution in Q1 2023.
*NOTE: RULES ERROR*
At 17:40, during the description of Opportunity, it's stated that "the opponent" receives opportunity in items 3., 4., and 5. (before Recollection, before Retaliation, before Damage). In reality, BOTH PLAYERS receive opportunity at those times, beginning with the Turn Player.

Thank you so much for watching! Please leave your rules questions in the comments below and we'll keep this post updated with answers for the most common or important questions. *FAQ and Noted Errors* RULES UPDATE: As of 6/19/2023, Champions no longer awaken on level up. They will remain the position they were in at the previous level. This won't usually matter when leveling during the Materialize step, but would previously come up when leveling with a card activation like Beseech the Winds or Dungeon Guide. RULES ERROR: At 17:40, during the description of Opportunity, it's stated that "the opponent" receives opportunity in items 3., 4., and 5. (before Recollection, before Retaliation, before Damage). In reality, BOTH PLAYERS receive opportunity at those times, beginning with the Turn Player. FAQ: *1. Are there any deck building restrictions such as only using Warrior allies with Warrior champions?* No, there are not! You can freely play Mage allies while you have a Warrior champion, etc. Just watch out for cards with the [Class Bonus] ability, which will only gain that effect while your CURRENT champion level matches the card's class (or one of its classes).

I've watched a lot of "how to play" videos in my day: for MANY board games and numerous other TCGs. Very clear and well-explained. This game takes ideas from a lot of other games. "hand as resource" from Final Fantasy TCG, tap to deal damage back from Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn, the idea of champions and weapons from Flesh and Blood and Hearthstone. And of course the creature combat of MTG. Even a little bit of the 'enabling' from Might and Magic: Duel of Champions. I bought some starter decks, and am looking forward to seeing how all these ideas play out.

@raymondyang2018 Год назад

So in theory, you can mix and match different champions and spirits in your Material deck (maybe kind of like a pre-sideboard depending on matchup), but it's generally not advantageous to do so since having the same class/lineage grants additional bonuses.

@MaindeckGames Год назад

Your Material deck could contain ANY champion levels, yep - however, most levels have Lineage requirements so you can't go from, for example, Rai level 1 to Lorraine level 2. The exception are the "lineage break" level 2s like Tristan and Merlin which have no Lineage requirement! Even still, we've seen some interesting ideas where players have built around multiple champions and would go down one path or another based on their matchup!

@robrick9361 Месяц назад

6:44 Duel Masters, Spoils, Alpha Clash : "Are we all jokes to you?"

@MaindeckGames Месяц назад

No, none of those games have the same resource system :) In those games, cards are placed one per turn as resources which remain in your resources until the end of game (or an effect removes them). You can then exhaust those resources to pay for card costs. However, in GA, each turn you place cards into memory to pay costs, and the following turn those cards will return to your hand. You can also banish cards in memory to materialize cards before you return them to hand. Thus, cards placed in memory early may end up being played later on, and your hand size dictates your resources, not a growing resource pile. Very different concept to work with!

@robrick9361 Месяц назад

@@MaindeckGames So it's more like Flesh and Blood's pitching mechanic except the cards go back into the hand instead of the deck. That's interesting. It's a shame so much of the art looks like it was drawn by aspiring hentai artists.

This is an awesome reminder of how to play since it’s been a few months for me, thanks for the video! Although I feel the timing for reactions wasn’t done properly when I last played.. (but it was a casual league and I’m still very new so I don’t want to be nitpicky, just be sure I’m learning) like the cost is still paid for the card attempting to activate before you try a fast response if you have one. If that’s right, then I could potentially save myself from arcane wreckage with frostbind, I think..? 😅

@MaindeckGames 6 месяцев назад

Yes, the cost has to be fully paid to activate a card - so if your opponent's card is negated with Frostbind, they don't get the cards they placed in memory to pay for it back until their next recollection step!

@Kadmos 11 месяцев назад

Concise rules video! One thing I was wondering about, you mentioned Rai could remove counters at fast speed to draw a card. Does using abilities rest your champion? Or would it specifically say rest as a cost? If Rai was rested (for example, to attack), would he still be able to remove counters to draw?

@MaindeckGames 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Using abilities does not rest your champion unless it specifically says as a cost (there is a symbol that shows turning the card). So you can definitely still use Enlighten counters when rested (it's technically an ability of the counters anyway, not an ability of the champion!)

@KuroNekoji 8 месяцев назад

The Hero-Card and Memory-Zone kinda remind me of how FE: Cipher is played They prob. got some inspiration from that in terms of gameplay

@doomstothfilms 8 месяцев назад

It feels like going first is objectively worse than going second. You skip draw and don't actually have anything to attack. Second place gets to draw and can attack right away, so if first for whatever reason does not have an ally to play just takes a hit.

@MaindeckGames 8 месяцев назад

That's an awesome observation. What we've found in a lot of competitive testing is that going first or second is very dependent on the deck/match up. The player going first is able to push to higher levels faster, which can be a massive advantage for some decks. Others definitely prefer second for the reasons you listed!

Hey Dan, I got a couple of questions. For Phantasia cards, if you rest them they wake up during your next wake up phase correct? also for the "Plea for Peace" card the "1" (with yellow bubble) refers a memory cost? Does that mean opponents have to put 1 card down into their memory for each attack? Thanks for your help.

@MaindeckGames 3 месяца назад

Great questions- those mechanics were added in later sets! Yes, phantasias wake up with everything else during the Wake Up Phase, and the yellow circle with a number is also a reserve cost and is paid exactly as you describe.

@SkywalkFPV 6 месяцев назад

I am looking at the Demo game around @21:45 after activating invigorated Slash you turn the Hero card horizontally to indicate the Hero is attacking, but turning the weapon itself would make more sense since that is the actual attack power alongside Slash (also because placing a hero in resting state, makes no sense to me since it has no attack to defend with?!).. Also Slash did not get turned horizontally upon the attack, is that simply not necessary for attack cards that don`t survive into the next turn? Would love to see more easy games like this explained.. Cheers..

@MaindeckGames 6 месяцев назад

Resting the Champion is a cost to attacking, whether you are using an attack card, a weapon, or both. This is important because you can not normally attack with the same unit twice in a turn, including a Champion, unless you use an effect to awaken it. Attack cards and weapons do not rest when used for an attack - and Attack cards get discarded as soon as the Attack sequence has completed, just like Action cards. Hope that makes a little more sense, let me know if you have any more questions!

@DJDizz05 Год назад

So at the end your champion attacking is still considered in the main phase before you play tactful sergeant?

@MaindeckGames Год назад

Yes! Starting a Combat Phase interrupts the Main Phase, but doesn't end it. You can activate any allies/slow speed cards before, between, and after attacks. This is different than games like Magic, and similar to games like Dragon Ball Super!

@FabricioKarim Год назад

I have a question. Champions like Merlin, Memory thief onle have level 2 card. I can replace any other champion? I cam replace level 1 lorraine with Merlin?

@MaindeckGames Год назад

Yes, those champions do not have a *lineage* requirement listed in their text box, so ANY level 1 can level into them, regardless of class. However, no level 3s currently can can level *from* those "lineage break" level 2s, so you are stuck there once you reach it!

Apologies if this has been explained before, but I'm assuming you can only materialise one card per materialise phase?

@MaindeckGames 9 месяцев назад

Correct, only (up to) one per turn unless another effect allows you to do extra (such as Beseech the Winds)!

@antdogz9915 Год назад

This probaly sounds dumb but with Rai theres alot of instant level up cards in his material deck. If im already level 2 for example could i banish crystal of empowerment to get to level 4? I know there is no card for level 4 but i feel like that would benifit his play abit more especially with lv efficiency cards.

@MaindeckGames Год назад

This is a common mistake - the cards which increase your LV are really just increasing your "level value", not allowing you to advance to a new level card. In other words, Crystal of Empowerment used while on level 2 Rai would make you "considered" level 4 for any card effects, but it *would not* allow you to put out your Level 3 Rai card. The only way to advance to a new level CARD is through materializing to it from the previous level either in your Materialize step or through an effect like Dungeon Guide or Beseech the Winds.

@Kindlesmith70 28 дней назад

3:01 so this makes me wonder, what happened to earth, and what would be considered abnormal? I'm guessing the specific named elements are abnormal. Heh. So the cards fall alseep when they used, and wake up at the start of a turn. This sounds funny. Removing cards from hand as a cost is a thing some games have. Banishing cards as a cost is thing that can happen in some of the games. I guess combining the two makes it different in a way, but the methods aren't new. Just so I don't sound like I'm am making stuff up I'll name 2. Final Fantasy TCG, & Take The Galaxy. Even in MtG you can have cards that blow up to provide mana. I actually thought there was something really new to the system when you mentioned different from other games. Always keen to see different systems in action. Interesting they chose to give everyone (effectively) Haste, or Rush. Being able to attack the same turn played is pretty strong. Am I wrong to think being second is a blessing because of this? Not only are you allowed to draw cards, but you can also attack first. It seems like going first allows for possible levelling up sooner, but how much of an edge is that over getting cards and attacking in one go?

The one thing i was hoping to learn was not in the video... I just got into GA and I have one question im having a issue finding the answer to and that is when you level a hero using a card effect (Melodious flute) i know you get the effect of the next level of the champion but what about health pool. Nothing in the rules mentions the health pool in this manner.

@MaindeckGames 5 месяцев назад

Damage taken stays on champions - but as you level, your health pool may increase per the number in the lower right. So if Lorraine has taken 5 damage so far this game, when she levels from 1 to 2, she'll still have 5 damage on her, but the total damage required for her to lose the game will increase from 20 to 24 while she is on that level.

I’ve got a question about intercepting. If I intercept with my ally, then return it to hand with Reclaim how is damage calculated? Will damage go to my face or will nothing happen

@MaindeckGames Год назад

Intercept changes the target of the attack from your Champion to the unit with Intercept. If that ally then leaves play before the damage resolves in the combat step, then simply no damage is dealt to the ally - the attack does not redirect back to any other target.

@deebzscrub Год назад

Not sure if you're still checking comments on this video but figure it's worth a shot since I came here to re-learn the rules. So I just got my cards in and the Spirit of [Element] cards don't have that inherited ability printed on them that your champion inherits and activates that element when leveled up. Do you happen to know if that's a misprint or if there was some rules change there?

@MaindeckGames Год назад

Yeah, that ended up being removed and simply packed into the rules for your Lineage - you enable any elements that are in your Lineage (the champion levels you have used). So no need for the extra text there!

I got a demo deck today. Can ypu get your material cards back mid game?

@MaindeckGames Год назад

Material Deck cards - like Regalia - that would leave play are always banished. So if you had a way to move them from the Banishment to somewhere else, sure - such as using some Crux effects. But there is no natural way to get them back without using a card effect.

@Tem-Wizard Год назад

I might have missed it but what are the card limits in the main deck?

@MaindeckGames Год назад

4x Per Card in the Maindeck (tm)!

@user-xn5me8iz7c Год назад

is there deckbuilding restrictions? like can Warrior allies only be with a warrior champion?

@MaindeckGames Год назад

Hi K! There are no restrictions like that for deck building. You can play Mage ally cards with Warrior champion cards, etc! Some advanced decks may even play multiple champion types in their material deck and decide which to level into as the game plays out. The [Class Bonus] effects will only be able to be used if your current Champion level matches one of the card's classes. That's the main restriction that will define how your deck plays differently - but you can still play those cards without getting the Class Bonus, such as playing Fireball in an Assassin deck for extra burn damage despite not getting the bonus cost reduction.

So could I still For the lack of better word ‘Peak’ at what Face Down Cards I have in my Memory Zone? And how many copy’s of one card I could have in both decks respectively?

@MaindeckGames 9 месяцев назад

Yep, you can always "peek" at the cards you have in Memory. Cards in your Material deck will only be in your Material deck - they are are the cards with a blue circle cost in the upper left. The ones with a Yellow circle cost go in the Main deck. You can have only a single copy of any Material Deck card, but cards that go in the Maindeck can be in sets of up to 4x each.

@un4given830 Год назад

Hello I recently got into the game and i have fallen in love with it but i had a question about something i found VERY confusing. In the comprehensive rules on page 12 for ITEMS it says "Items may only be activated at slow speed" but on page 34 under "Abilities" it says "Activated abilities use fast speed by default." The confusion arose when i wanted to use the activated effect of "Beastbond Boots" during my opponents turn. Does "activation" as it is written on page 12 refer to the activation of the card from the hand or material deck and not its ability activation? Can I use "Beastbond Boots" or any other activated item on my opponent's turn?

@MaindeckGames Год назад

I got you - no worries! This is a common point of confusion! "Activating a card" is the term for *playing* Main Deck cards in GA. Abilities are also Activated - but that would be "using the ability" rather than "playing the card". So the page 12 part is saying "Activating an Item Card (this would a theoretical non-Regalia Item, which would be in the Main Deck - these don't exist yet, but this is a "future proofing" rule) is done at slow speed", while the Page 34 is saying, as you surmised, "You can use the activated ability of your item at fast speed". In short, YES, you can use Beastbond Boots's Activated Ability during your opponents turn!

It becomes very smooth and easy with a game or two! And I agree, Water Rai sounds like it will be a blast with lots of control and tempo plays as he builds up to level 3!

@rahulkalita5527 Год назад

So this game has multiple attack phases unlike Mtg right? In Mtg you must declare your attack all at once during your turn.

@MaindeckGames Год назад

That's right, unlike MTG, in Grand Archive you declare attacks during your Main Phase, one at a time, and can do other Main Phase actions before, after, or between them.

@swagopenings6369 8 месяцев назад

Grand Archive is a fun game but the owners should make a move immediately to spread the game as other new TCGs are catching up. :(

@KarmaSpaz12 Год назад

Some of that art is a bit concerning and I'm also not sure I'm on board with the added randomness of having a card taken from the memory zone on a die role. Nice to have a video explain clearly how to play at any rate.

How many cards you need to have in your hand to start the game?

You start the game with no cards in hand, whatever level 0 champion you play tells you how many cards to draw!
