Plot Device Cards are used to support your own Characters or hinder the actions of your opponent’s Character Cards. Some Plot Devices can give an OFF power boost, others can prevent a card from acting, and some others still can destroy another card altogether. The placement and use of your Plot Device Cards can potentially turn around the most hopeless of situations, and can turn a guaranteed defeat into an upset victory.

Just like the Character cards, Plot Devices may have a Bandwidth Cost, indicated at the top of the card next to the PD symbol. In order to play a card you must have the Bandwidth on hand to spend, which you must discard before placing your Character onto the field. At the time of this writing no Plot Device cards have a Bandwidth Cost, but as cards become more powerful that will certainly change.

WAGON Webcomic Battle is a brand new collectible card game that is, you guessed it, entirely based off of webcomics and their contents. This covers all elements of webcomics, from their characters, to their story plots, and everything else that makes a webcomic uniquely what it is.

The game itself is played with three kinds of cards: Characters, Plot Devices, and Bandwidth. Characters are, obviously, based off the stars of their webcomics. Character cards are able to attack other cards, defend you from harm, and use various abilities to effect gameplay. Plot Devices are either objects or story points that can effect gameplay. This can mean anything from boosting a Character’s strength, preventing an attack, or destroying other cards outright. Essentially Plot Devices are used to support your Characters while hindering your opponents Characters. Bandwidth is the money system of the game, working like Mana or Energy that can be spent in order to use certain abilities or play more powerful cards.
