Is IKZ like mana crystals in Hearthstone?
MostlyMostly. IKZ grows like mana crystals: one a turn, up to 10, refilled each turn. The difference is your opponent’s turn: unspent IKZ pays for Responses there.
IKZ in the Azuki TCG
IKZ is the Azuki TCG’s resource. Each turn you add 1 IKZ from your separate 10-card IKZ pile, up to 10, and tap it to pay costs. You pay a card’s whole cost at once, and nothing floats. IKZ you leave untapped at the end of your turn pays for Responses on your opponent’s turn.
The same
- One more each turn up to 10, never drawn from your deck, refilled every turn.
Different
- Unspent Hearthstone mana does nothing on your opponent’s turn. Untapped IKZ pays for Responses.
- The second Azuki player gets an IKZ token instead of The Coin.
