Card types are a characteristic of cards in all zones.
Details
The card types determine the various abilities that a card may have or how they are used (ex: Summon, or Cast).
Currently, there are five main card types
- Creature
- Spell
- Cross gear
- Fortress
- Cell (does not exist by itself)
Each card in the game has one of these card types printed on their card type line.
"Evolution", "Psychic" and "Super" are not a true card type as they do not exist on their own without the other card types.
- Creature
- Evolution Creature
- Psychic Creature
- Evolution Psychic Creature
- Psychic Super Creature
- Exile Creature
- Cross Gear
- Cell
Card abilities often refer to card types. For example: Terror Pit's ability says "Destroy one of your opponent's creatures". This ability mentions the card type of creature specifically, which covers any variation such as an Evolution Creature or Psychic Creature.
Survivor, Wave Striker and God can easily be mistaken by a card type due to how they are referred to in the effect text of cards, however they are not. They are only races and keyword abilities.
