Growth

The Nature element ability. Place any monster from your hand onto the target cell, covered and for free.

How it Works

When you trigger a Growth ability arrow, you take any monster from your hand — any element, any cost — and place it face-down (covered) on the target cell. You never pay its cost. This is not a deferred payment: Growth bypasses the cost entirely.

A Growth-placed card is different from a normally covered card. It has specific protection rules and its own destruction conditions.

Rules

• Take any monster card from your hand (any element, any cost) and place it covered on the target cell. No cost is ever paid for this card — Growth bypasses cost entirely.
• The target cell must be empty.
• A Growth-placed covered card cannot be destroyed by a single normal arrow. Normal flip mechanics do not apply to it.
• A Growth-placed card can only be destroyed by:
  • Remove
  • Firestorm dealing at least 1 point of damage
  • Being the landing cell of a Shockwave push (a card is pushed onto its cell)
• A Growth-placed card can be moved by Shockwave (pushed), Swap, and Magnetism. Its protection applies to direct destruction, not to movement.
