Taking the above card as an example:-\
\
The big yellow icon on the left-hand corner of the card indicates the amount of **Energy** needed for the card to be played—in this case, 0.\
\
The sword icon that is colored red displays how much **Damage** the card will deal when played—in this case, 50.\
\
Furthermore, the shield icon that is colored green shows how much **Shield** the card will provide when played—in this case, 0.\
\
Lastly,  the card itself has an **Effect** that is described below its image.
