These are displayed on the cards and referred to as monsters, spells, and traps. All of these Cards are initially blank and useless. they can only be "imprinted"(putting the soul of something onto a card) through class features. If these cards are left outside a soul "container"(Deck Box, Millennium Tin) for 1 hour the soul inside the Card is released and the Card returns to its blank state to be used again.

Dueling Deck= Choose a set of 3 monsters and one spell from the Starting Millennium Cards list(at the bottom of the class page). These cards become your dueling deck. Each Card in the Dueling Deck is given a number ranging from one to the highest number on your Draw Die shown in the Class Table.

If there are no more cards with lower numbers you must go with the next highest number(this does not count as an action). The draw die starts as a 1d4 and increases as you gain levels indicated on the class table. As long as you have at least one card in your hand, you cannot hold anything else in that hand.
