What this card does

The card stays in play as a Stadium.

If either player plays another Stadium card, they must discard the new one after discarding this card.

What it does

Chaotic Swell

Whenever either player plays a Stadium card from their hand, discard that Stadium card after discarding this one. (The new Stadium card has no effect.)

This card prevents any other Stadium effects from working. It forces players to remove it before they can use a different Stadium card.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that want to keep the battlefield clear of other Stadium interference. It is useful when you do not want your opponent's Stadium cards to affect the game.

Strengths
  • Blocks opponent's Stadiums
  • Simple effect
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Discards itself when used
  • Prevents your own Stadiums too
  • No energy or damage effects
Pro tip

Wait until the opponent has played their Stadium before playing this card to cancel it.

Good to know

Stadium cards change the rules of the game for everyone playing.

Note for the parent

Remind your child that this card blocks all other Stadiums, so they should only play it if they are sure no other Stadium is needed.
