Heaps

A heap is the total of all collected cards of a player. The heap is actually only used when in quest mode, otherwise all cards are available and a "quick"-player can use all cards which are available. To build a deck for a non quest player - all cards can be used for building a deck.

For quest players the cards to build a deck from are restricted to the onces in the players heap.

A heap for quest mode (at the time of writing) starts of with the original portal starter contents, which means a new player has exactly 70 cards and one booster with 15 random cards and a land.

Which also meeans, that a starting player has a maximum of 1 rare cards.

In order to get more cards, the player must earn money. This can be done by

1. doing quests

2. just playing (and winning) against computer opponents (usually about 5$)

3. selling cards in the shop

for the money the player earns, the player can buy boosters in the shop.

Or

The player may by successfully solving a quest get directly boosters and/or cards as a reward.

Anyway, once the player starts to play in quest mode, he will allways have a heap. The heap can be viewed via the following screen:

Heap

The heap itself is not editable, and can only be changed by gaining new cards or selling cards in the shop.

Note: This view holds ALL cards as single entries, thus 5 plains will be visible as - well - five plains and not plains *5 :-)!

The button on top of the screen (also available in the player information panel) gives you access to the "collection booklet" (see next chapter).
