CardScript model with Triggered and Continuous abilities. Check Timing collects triggered abilities, orders them (turn player first, player picks the order via SelectTriggerCommand), and pauses on optional abilities (ResolveAbilityCommand). Continuous effects are recomputed on demand in EffectivePower. Scripts: Barcgal (optional call from soul), Wingal (+4000 when boosting Blaster Blade), Alfred (+2000 per Royal Paladin rear-guard). Six tests.
Grade 0-2 vanguard performs one check, grade 3+ performs two, rear-guards perform none by default. CardInstance.DriveChecksOverride lets effects remove Twin Drive or grant checks to a rear-guard. Added DriveCheckedEvent for the log. Five tests.
MoveCommand(from, to) in the Main phase. Only 0-3 (left) and 2-4 (right) are valid pairs; the center back row has no partner. Rested state stays with the card. Five tests.
InterceptCommand during the guard step. The interceptor leaves its circle, becomes the power reference for the attack and goes to the drop zone at the end of the battle; the original target survives. Grade 1 cannot intercept, back row only with InterceptFromBackRow granted by an effect. Five tests.
GuardCommand takes an optional discard. Sentinel cards have zero shield; paying with a card of the same clan sets Nullified on the battle so power no longer matters. Three tests: paid, unpaid, wrong clan.
Cards of grade 0 and 1 have boost by default (HasBoost); CardInstance.BoostOverride lets an effect grant or remove it at runtime. AttackCommand takes an optional BoosterSlot: the back-row unit in the same column adds its power for that battle only and becomes rested. Four new tests.
Order is now: reveal -> trigger zone -> resolve effects -> hand (drive check) or damage (damage check). Damage is added only after the trigger resolves, so heal compares the pre-damage count. Temporary power/crit are cleared at end of turn instead of end of battle.
Drive check now pauses on a trigger and waits for ResolveTriggerCommand(powerTarget, effectTarget). Power and crit modifiers moved from the battle to the unit and are cleared at the end of the battle. Stand stands the chosen rear-guard; Critical applies +1 crit to the chosen unit. Damage-check triggers still apply only the secondary effect.
Pure rules library with no Orleans or database. Command in, events out. Deterministic RNG stored in GameState. Covers setup with starting vanguard and mulligan, six phases, ride, call, attack, guard, drive check, damage check with triggers, retirement and win at six damage. 8 engine tests, 30 total. Sentinel, boost and card abilities are the next step.
Solution on .NET 10 LTS with rules, content and CLI projects. Content importer pulls stats from the official card list, merges trigger/rarity data, emits three YAML sets (94 cards, 124 printings). Validator checks the grade-0 shield invariant, sentinel shield, parallel printing links, and deck construction limits. 14 tests cover catalog integrity and deck validation.
