Are You Up for an R&R?
Rise and Ruin (R&R) reminds me of Warstorm card-dueling game, where you can trade, play, and battle other races (humans, elves, orcs, undead) to be one of the top-ranking armies of the land. Only, R & R is better and with awesome 3D graphics.
Choose from the two available races: the arrogant dragon descendants Ralak or the sleek and insectile jix'Su. When customizing my character, I wish there are more choices for the race and added option for gender.
Features:
- Train your ideal avatar from to increase your strength in battle
- Build your deck from a growing pool of powerful attack and defense cards
- Experience thrilling and cinematic graphical battle sequences from an extensive library of original, motion-captured, combat animations. Worth the price of admission alone.
- Challenge your friends and win prizes through organized tournaments
- Wheel-and-deal in the in-game trading system

In order to obtain cards, you need to purchase credits using real money. The Intro Pack can be bought for as low as 12 Credits.

Click on your skills and attributes in order to see their descriptions. A certain skill will be available to your character only when you have the corresponding cards for it. Initially, you have 30 points to spend for your ideal avatar's training.
Card Inventory
You will have 40 available cards under your Starter Deck. Click on each card for the description, damage, level, and mana requirement. Here, you can create your deck and pick the cards (drag-and-drop) you like to be in your set.
From this view, I hope there is a way to filter/sort your cards by type, skills, or levels.
