Star Icon (s)
![]()
A star icon is used in conjunction with a card’s stat or boost field to indicate that there is a mandatory ability in the text box that corresponds to that field. In and of itself, the star icon has no effect; it is merely a reminder to check the card’s text box whenever that field is used.
