# Deck Cards

Every hero class has an entirely unique deck of potential cards to acquire and draw from during your playthough of *Oni's Quest*.

Unlike many collectible card games (CCG's) you do not have to purchase deck cards in order play (and master) *Oni's Quest*. Instead, at the beginning of each playthough, your hero is given a small starting deck containing a mix of "**strike**" and "**block**" cards, plus a small number of class-specific starting cards. If your Genesis Collection hero collectible card also has a [hero power](https://yokai-kingdom.gitbook.io/onis-quest-guide/the-game/heroes-of-geoda/hero-classes), then your starting deck will include that ability card as well.

You can add, remove, and level up cards in your deck during each playthrough. These changes are not permanent however - when you start your next playthrough, your deck of available cards will reset back to the starting deck again.&#x20;

## Deck Management

After each successful battle, you are given the choice between 3 randomly selected cards to add to your deck, as a reward. The chance of rarer and upgraded versions of these rewards increases the further that you progress through the regions of Geoda.&#x20;

Additional cards can also be purchased from [Temples](https://yokai-kingdom.gitbook.io/onis-quest-guide/the-game/gameplay-guide/temples) in exchange for [Spirit Stones](https://yokai-kingdom.gitbook.io/onis-quest-guide/the-game/gameplay-guide/spirit-stones). Here, you can also remove cards from your deck by spending Spirit Stones, if you wish.

All deck cards can be upgraded once. This can be done by training at [Shrines](https://yokai-kingdom.gitbook.io/onis-quest-guide/the-game/gameplay-guide/shrines).

Choose wisely - curating a powerful and strategic deck for each playthrough is essential to victory! Will you add all cards you find or try to remove cards instead for a smaller, more predictable deck?
