Duel for Cardia

If both cards tie, no card wins or loses, you do not place a signet, and you skip the Activate Ability phase — no losing-card ability is activated for that encounter (page 4).

Only the card that loses the current encounter immediately activates its ability in phase 2, and you must resolve that ability fully (page 4).

Instant abilities resolve immediately once when activated; ongoing abilities get an ongoing token placed on the card and remain in effect until that token is removed (and if removed you immediately resolve any resulting changes) (page 5).

Modifiers placed on a card are immediately added to that card's influence and remain while present; if that changes the encounter result move the signet accordingly (or return it for a tie), but the ability of a card that now loses because of modifiers is not activated (pages 6, 9).

Tokens are not limited; if any run out use any suitable substitute to represent them (page 5).

At the end of each round you draw exactly one card from your deck; if your deck is empty you cannot draw (do not reshuffle) and you do not lose the game for failing to draw — note some Location cards can modify or override draw rules (page 6; see location exceptions on page 13).
