  3. Card Types

This section lays down the foundations of the game. The Comprehensive Rules are an extremely robust document: with thousands of cards and hundreds of mechanics, the possible situations that can arise are almost limitless, but in spite of this every possible scenario does yield exactly one result.

This result is achieved mainly thanks to a meticulous definition of every term with a technical meaning. Terminology is the basic tool we have to parse the cards: everything that's not defined here retains the normal English meaning.

We'll also have a look at the hardware we use to play the game: our beloved cards, that convey a lot of information in so little space. The different card types will be discussed independently.
