Card Market guide
When the Market feature is enabled, players can exchange event cards through timed auctions. The system uses gold coins and proxy bids: bidders state a maximum, while the visible price follows the competition rather than immediately jumping to that maximum.

Availability and the gold wallet
The Market can be disabled by configuration and is unavailable in Draft and Ascension. When enabled, a wallet starts at 30 coins. Eligible normal victories have a one-in-three chance to award 1 to 3 coins.
Coins are stored in the account wallet and transaction history records bids, refunds, sales, and battle awards. Awards stop once the daily total has reached at least 10; because the last 1-to-3 coin award is not reduced to the remainder, that total can finish at 11 or 12.
- Check the selected event because auctions and cards are event-scoped.
- Do not expect battle coins in Draft, Ascension, or while the Market feature is off.
- The maximum bid must be available in the wallet when it is placed.
List up to two active cards
A player may have at most two active listings in the same event. A listed card must be owned in that event, absent from every deck, and not already in another active auction.
A new auction lasts seven days and begins at one coin. Listing transfers nothing immediately: the card changes owner only when an expired auction with a valid highest bid is finalized.
- Remove the card from all decks before creating the auction.
- Use the two slots for cards you can genuinely leave unavailable.
- An unsold card remains with the seller after the auction ends.
How proxy bidding sets the current price
Each bid records the bidder’s maximum. With one bidder, the current price remains the one-coin starting bid. With competition, it becomes the second-highest maximum plus one coin, capped at the leader’s own maximum.
The leader’s maximum is debited and reserved. A bidder who does not take the lead is refunded immediately; when a new leader overtakes the previous one, the previous reserved maximum is also refunded. For equal maxima, the earlier effective bid keeps priority.
- Bid the most you are truly willing to pay, not the visible price plus repeated manual steps.
- The visible price can be lower than the leading maximum.
- Being outbid restores reserved funds automatically.
Last-day extension and final settlement
A valid bid placed with less than 24 hours remaining extends the auction by one day. The rule applies from the current end time, reducing last-second wins while still keeping a defined deadline.
At settlement, the seller receives the final current price and the winner receives the card. If the winner’s reserved maximum exceeds that price, the surplus is refunded. Market alerts expose leading bids, outbids, bid history, and won cards.
- Recheck the new end time after a late bid.
- Budget from the reserved maximum until settlement or an outbid refund.
- Use account alerts rather than assuming the initial end date or visible price is final.
