Set 00: Initialization is now available to browse. 180 cards. Six elements. Four
rarities. Nine arrow abilities. This is the complete first set of Evons, designed to
be played immediately and expanded long term.

## What is Set 00

Initialization is the foundation set. Every mechanic in the game is represented: all
9 arrow abilities appear across the 180 cards, all 6 elements are equally distributed
(30 cards each), and the four rarity tiers range from 87 Common cards to 7 Epic cards.

The set is designed to allow complete deckbuilding from day one. Every element
combination is viable. There are no dominant archetypes by design in Set 00 because
the goal was to let players discover interactions through play, not through a
predetermined meta.

## The Numbers

- **180** total cards
- **162** monster cards
- **18** block cards
- **9** ability types

## Card Browser

Every card in Set 00 is browsable at [cards.evons.gg](https://cards.evons.gg). Filter
by element, rarity, type, or search by name. The browser shows ATK, DEF, and the full
8-direction arrow grid for each monster card.

## Rulebook

The full rulebook for v1.0 is live at [rules.evons.gg](https://rules.evons.gg). It
covers every mechanic: turn structure, conflict resolution, all 9 ability types, the
chain/reactivation system, cell bonuses, and out zone rules. The element color synergy
system is still being finalized and will ship in v1.1.

## What's Next

With Set 00 complete and documented, the focus shifts to:

- Finalizing element color synergy rules (v1.1 rulebook)
- Physical print run planning
- Tournament format design
- Community playtesting feedback loop
- Set 01 early design
