What are Runes?

The five blue symbols that surround your avatar are your Runes and they are the key to enabling you to still win a match even if you have given up a lot of health from taking damage. Runes represent cards from your deck which are not in your draw pile and whenever your health is reduced to a multiple of five points for the first time one of the runes will be destroyed and you will instantly draw the card inside it. Although Runes can help you recover from a beating they also work the same way for your opponent. Keep in mind also that there are cards that get more powerful when they destroy your Runes.
