Max, Maximum

The words “max” and “maximum” impose a maximum across all copies of a card (by title) for all players.

”Max X per [period]”

”Max X per [period]” imposes a maximum number of times that copies of that card can be played during the designated time period.

  • If a card with a maximum is canceled, the card is still counted toward the maximum.

“Max X per deck”

“Max X per deck” restricts the number of copies of that card that may be included in each player deck.

“Max 1 per player”

“Max 1 per player” is player specific, and restricts the number of copies of that card that each player may control in play at a given time.

  • A player cannot take control of another copy of a “Max 1 per player” card they already control.

“Max 1 per [game element]”

“Max 1 per [game element]” restricts the number of copies of that card that can be attached to each indicated game element.

(For example, if an upgrade is “Max 1 per ally,” an ally can have at most one copy of that upgrade attached.)

"Máximo 1 por [circunstancia]

“Max 1 per [instance]” restricts the number of times an ability can be triggered by a single instance of a triggering effect across all copies of the card with the maximum.

(For example, if an ability has the text “(Max 1 per event.),” only one card with that ability can be triggered per event played.)

“(to a maximum of [value])”

The parenthetical “(to a maximum of [value])” within an ability imposes a maximum on that ability for the duration of that ability.

Si el enunciado de una capacidad contiene un paréntesis con la expresión "(hasta un máximo de [cifra])", constituye un máximo para esa capacidad mientras su efecto se encuentre en vigor.

  • A maximum in the form of “(to a maximum of +X)” applies only to the ability that includes the maximum.

    (For example, multiple abilities with the text “(to a maximum of +3 ATK)” can be used in combination to increase a character’s ATK above +3.)

  • A maximum in the form of “(to a maximum [game element] of X)” applies across all abilities that increase that game element.

    (For example, “(to a maximum hand size of 7)” means the player’s hand size cannot exceed 7 as a result of any ability.)
