Hemp paper(Faded monsuta White Paper) 1.1.2

---

There are three major activities to participate in the Trading Card Game(TCG) concept of Faded Monsutas

1. Collect Faded Monsuta Cards(NFTs)
2. Harvest Tetra Hydrinium
3. Battle Monsters Faded Monsuta Cards

The first concept will be how all players must begin their Faded Monsuta Journey. Collecting monster cards gives you access to their card in the game, which will come with abilities when used in Battles. While some will collect simply for artwork or value, others will collect to Harvest or Battle. Collecting monsters will be done through an initial pack release once the first series of cards are completed. Collecting Faded Monsuta cards will be as simple as owning the NFT, whether they are acquired through pack openings or trading(Atomic Hub).

Harvesting will be the process for players that wish to stake their NFTs in order to harvest raw Tetra Hydrinium from Public or Private Mines. This is an extremely valuable substance that powers Tokesylvania, a metropolis powered by the total righteousness of cannabis. It is also the main currency used throughout the city and is a must for any citizen of Tokesylvania. Tetra Hydrinium is the currency required to craft important Faded Monsuta in Professor Bongsley’s not-so-safe laboratory. These never before seen Faded Monsuta will wreck the Meta of the starter cards, making them a must have if one wishes to take up the mantle of top Monsuta CardShark.

While one might sell their newly crafted NFT Faded Monsuta, others will add them to their decks and take them to ranked matches to compete for the title of Grand Fademon Champion. While harvesting will be one way to get Tetra Hydrinium, it will pale in comparison to the riches one can win by reigning supreme in Ladder Rankings. The Granded Faded Monsuta Stadium gives those that own lots of cards a slight advantage, but by no means will it give them the skills it takes to take the crown. One must combine Collecting, Harvesting and Battling to truly be the Top CardShark in Tokesylvania

New to the game? Not sure what deck you want to try and build from packs or the second market? Then take advantage of our Free Weekly Trial Deck! Every week we will sample a playable character and a deck that suits their ability. Once a month we will have an event where each playable character will be selectable as well as free deck to compete with. Take advantage of these Trials to determine what kind of deck you want to build!

While many collectible NFT cards will have a place in stronger decks, there will of course be unused cards. Here at Faded Monsuta, our commitment is to make every card count, and when living in Tokesylvania, there is a way for every Faded Monsuta to contribute! The way that they can help you out is by helping out in the Tetra Hydrinium Mines!

Each Faded Monsuta NFT will have the ability to be staked to earn the In Game Currency, Tetra Hydrinium. While there will be loads of goodies available for purchase eventually, the first purchase most players will make with Tetra Hydrinium will be in Professor Bongsley’s lab! Many say he is working on a new Faded Monsuta Class that many are calling “Hybrid Class”. As the name suggests, they are Faded Monsuta that have more than one ability that are usually unique to one class, meaning they will be able to pair with loads of cards and strategies!

These Hybrid Class Faded Monsuta are sure to shatter the very foundation of Meta Deck Strategies as those who saved their Tetra Hydrinium from battling and staking(Harvesting) will be able to craft these powerful monsuta for sale on the Second Market or for use in your own Monsuta CardShark Deck! You won’t be getting the first round of these cards in packs, no luck here, just skill and staking power will be what makes these available to select players that have dedicated their way to the Faded Monsuta way of life!

There are two currently known ways to acquire Tetra Hydrinium: Battle in ladder ranked matches in the Grand Faded Monsuta Stadium or Harvest Tetra Hydrinium in Tetra Hydrinium Mines. If you are going to hit the Tetra Hydrinium mines, there are two ways to do that:

1. Public Mines
2. Private Mines

One can get rights to a private mines through pack openings. There will of course be rewards for top ranked Monsuta CardSharks in the Ladder Rankings, but the best way to guarantee a steady flow of In Game Currency is to get a Private Tetra Hydrinium Mine. This is one of the few cards we will continue to release as the game progresses as it is a pivotal part of players participating in the game. Whether you want to use your Tetra Hydrinium on new NFT cards for battle or selling, you will definitely want a Private Mine for their higher staking power. That being said, it will be unlikely you can fill one of these mines by yourself, so there are some options for the extra space in your Private Mine.

The best thing to do with extra room from your private mine will be able to create a Faded Monsuta CardShark Club (think of this as a guild). People in your guild will be able to stake in your mines. There will be rewards similar to the Ladder Rankings for top Faded Monsuta CardShark Clubs, so having mines to entice lots of good players may be a strategy implemented by top players to maximize rewards. Team play is further off, but our hope at Faded Monsuta is to create a "best of" style of play where a certain amount of Monsuta CardSharks from each Club go head to head. The Team that wins the most matches will be deemed victorious. Tokesylvania is all about synergy, don’t horde resources to yourself. If you get a Tetra Hydrinium Mine, think about creating a Club for you and your friends to build your Tetra Hydrinium coffers together through mining and Club events!

Private mines are going to double the output of staking, making them incredibly valuable, but that doesn’t mean that players that don’t have a club or are new to the game will be left out in the cold. There will be Public Mines where players can stake their NFTs for a lesser amount of Tetra Hydrinium. This will ensure that all players can build towards the extra powerful NFT Faded Monsuta that will surely change the face of the game. 

In order to decide who goes first, perform a coin flip. The game sees both Monsuta CardSharks start with 40 health points and each player must have a deck with at least 40 cards(up to 4 of the same card can be used per deck). At the start of the game, each CardShark draws 4 cards, with the ability to reshuffle up to 3 into the deck. After shuffling, draw the number of cards that were put back into the deck from the top of the deck. Once both players have drawn their cards, the game can begin

Each card has a TetraCell value. The number inside the TetraCell graphic correlates to the TetraCell cost of the Faded Monsuta. The higher the number, the higher the cost. The player who goes first has the advantage of gaining TetraCells first, starting at 1 TetraCell and possibly being the first to lay down a Monsuta. The downside of going first is that you cannot attack your opponent.

The player that goes second will be the first normal turn: a card is drawn, a monster can be laid down and the battle phases can begin. Here is the order of a regular turn in Faded Monsutas

1. Draw Phase(+1 Tetra Cell per turn, stops at 10 Tetra Cells)
2. Plant Phase(Lay down Monsutas, activate abilities)
3. Battle Phase
4. Resolution Phase
5. End Phase

There is nothing scary about the process of completing a normal turn in Faded Monsuta, but we will go into the possibilities of what can happen in each phase and why it is important

Draw Phase:

A CardShark will always draw a card at the beginning of their turn(unless an ability from the previous turn’s resolution phase prevents it). This step is simply the start of a CardShark’s turn and is ended after drawing one card(unless an ability allows the CardShark to draw more than one card)

Plant Phase: 

This is where the fun begins. Monsuta cards can now be placed onto the field if you have the TetraCells to burn in order to place them. Some Monsuta have Torched abilities that activate upon being laid down in the Smoke Ring(playing field). Some Monsutas have abilities that can be activated during this phase that are powerful enough to give a CardShark the edge in battle. Once the CardShark has finished laying down their Monsuta and casting abilities, it is time to battle!

Battle Phase:

It is time for Faded Monsutas to clash! While there are 5 major types of Monsuta, all of them battle the same, in fierce head to head combat! Each Monsuta has health and attack values, the attack value represents how much damage they can dish out and how much damage one can take. Once your Monsuta’s health points reach zero they are discarded to the Toasted Pile. Some Monsutas have sick abilities though, so be wary when attacking! Having the stronger Monsuta doesn’t mean everything when battling! A combination of the 5 major classes of Monsuta, using their power and skills in harmony, will be the only way a Monsuta CardShark can assure victory

Resolution Phase:

This may seem like an unnecessary phase, but this is where total damage is tallied and many post-battle effects take place. The wimpy Monsuta you Toasted in the Battle Phase may have a Spoiled High ability that weakens or destroys your Monsuta. Be careful not to fall asleep at the wheel, the Resolution Phase will be where many battles are won and lost

End Phase:

Once the Resolution Phase has ended, a player has one last chance to spend their TetraCells before they officially end their turn. This could be good for laying down defense after taking out a powerful enemy with a strong Spoiled High effect you didn't want to hit one of your more powerful Faded Monsuta. Once you have laid down your final defenses, it is time to end your turn

Timer:

Faded Monsutas get distracted easily, so being slow isn’t in the cards for a Monsuta CardShark. You get two minutes to complete each turn, from beginning to end. Lay your cards down and begin battling as soon as possible, or risk forfeiting part of your turn. Have your strategies prepared. The Grand Faded Monsuta Stadium waits for no one.

Playing Field:

There are five spots per Monsuta Cardshark in the Smoke Ring. Two spots up front and three in the rear. The the front guard must be attacked first in order to reach the Faded Monsuta behind them(Rear Guard). For example, if you take out a front guard Faded Monsuta, you may attack the Monsuta you have a direct path to. If another monster is placed in the front guard, you must once again destroy the front guard to attack the rear guard. 

There are exceptions to the rule, as some Faded Monsutas have the ability to directly strike rear guard, and in some cases, the enemy CardShark. These cards are few and far between, so strategies must be put in place if you don’t have them or if you find yourself facing them.

How To Win:

Both Monsuta CardSharks will start the match with 40 HP. The maximum amount of HP allowed is 60. The maximum amount of armor allowed is 10. Armor can be gained through certain Monsutas and will decrease before HP does(excluding Armor Pierce Abilities). There are a few ways to damage a Cardshark

The first way is to attack them directly. In order to achieve a successful direct attack, one must clear the front guard and the middle rear guard. This opens a direct path to the opponent CardShark. The left and right rear guard do not impede a direct attack(excluding some monsutas with Contact High ability). 

You may do direct damage as some Monsutas have Torched abilities that do mild damage to CardSharks directly upon being placed. Another effect is Spoiled High, which some monsutas will do direct damage upon being Toasted. 

The final way a Monsuta can do damage is if they have the coveted Kush Push ability. These cards rarely have high attack or health, but they ignore all the rules of play when it comes to doing damage. Hide one in the rear guard and slowly drain your opponents HP as the battle wages or prevent them from building up armor by attacking enemy CardSharks directly!

There is the rare occassion that a Monsuta CardShark may run out of cards to draw, which is when Draw Damage comes into play. While you aren't damaging your opponent, they will still receive 1 damage(+1 per turn) when they go to draw a card. Even if it seems a duel is at a stalemate, power through! There are many ways that lead a Monsuta CardShark to victory!

Once your health hits zero the game is done(or is it? Puff Pass Ability may just save you). Admit your defeat and be a good sport, for the better Monsuta CardShark was your opponent today. As of right now, Tetra Hydrinium will get you into a battle where there are great rewards, but rumor has it, a dark place is forming where people wager their best Monsuta in a pink-slips style of play where only the toughest CardSharks go. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

There are five known classes of Faded Monsuta in Tokesylvania. While many wonder just what kind of Faded Monsutas are yet to be discovered, the five KNOWN classes of Faded Monsuta are Attackers, Tanks, Support, Healers and Hybrids. We will now discuss how each Monsuta Class can help build your CardShark Deck to fighting shape.

Attackers:

The primary damage dealers of the bunch, Attackers hit hard and they hit fast. They won't last long at front of your lineup since their health is low, but forcing a powerful tank to take your most powerful Monsuta head on may be a play that can give you the edge. Use vanilla Attackers for raw damage or activate one with an ability to wreak havoc on your opponent. Everyone pays respect to the attacker and chances are they will be the main target once on the field

Tanks: 

As one would guess from the name, Tanks are sturdy Monsutas that know how to take a punch! While one might think they could ignore the big brute, they might find it hard when these beefy Monsuta activate their own wild abilities! All attacks will be forced to your Tank Monsuta if it has taunt, while other Monsutas will give back the damage they take! They don’t appear to have much power, but underestimating a strong frontline of Tanks will surely be a CardSharks downfall

Support:

With little to no attack, Support Monsutas will seem harmless to the inexperienced CardShark. But when combined with the right team, Support Monsutas can completely ruin your opponents high! If you ignore these Monsuta, you will find your most powerful cards rendered useless by immobility or become a danger to your own team! Position and Deck Fluidity will make support cards one of the most useful types in the game

Healer:

Let’s face it, healers are boring, but they are necessary if you want your Monsutas to last more than a couple turns! With moderate health and attack, these Monsutas won’t do much on their own. They can keep your heavy hitters alive and chip away at your opponent's defenses. A wise Faded Monsuta CardShark will notice not all Healers only bestow health upon their allies. Some rare cards will offer massive boosts that could turn the entire tide of battle when used properly

Hybrid:

WARNING: You are now entering Professor Bongsley’s Lab, where things can(and will) go wrong. Hybrid Monsutas are his own fantastical creation, and before this highly evolved Faded Monsuta began genetically modifying his own kind, there were only 4 known Faded Monsuta Classes. Through the Mad Professor's...I mean Brilliant Professor's award winning research, Faded Monsutas have been born that can take on multiple abilities from the original four classes. Rumor has it, for the right price of Tetra Hydrinium, Professor Bongsley will craft you one of these Legendary Monsutas. A Tank that heals? An Attacker with Attack buff? These Monsutas are a One Card Army!!!

 There are many types of Monsuta and the different kinds continue to grow every day. Currently known Monsuta Types are as listed

1. Flowers
2. Joints
3. Bongs
4. Zongs
5. SugarWAX
6. Crumble
7. Shatter
8. Gandalfs

All 8 of these Monsutas types have their own unique abilities as well as shared abilities. Some abilities will be usable by multiple types while others will be specific to that Monsuta Type.

1. Flowers: Attackers, Healers, Massive Single Unit Damage, Armor Pierce, Single Unit Heals
2. Joints: Support, Healers, Attackers, Average damage abilities, Balanced heals or attack, Burn Effect
3. Bongs: Tanks, Support, Immobilization(loss of turn), Confusion(cause enemy Monsuta to damage friendly targets)
4. Zongs: Tanks, Healers, AOE Heals, strongest Tanks in the game, Hypnotize(send Monsuta to sleep for possibly multiple turns)
5. SugarWAX: Support, Healer AOE Damage, high staking power, TetraCell Boost
6. Crumble: Support, Healer, Damage Over Time(DOTs), slowly chip away at enemy monsuta, healing effects on friendly monsuta
7. Shatter: Attack, Support, Massive Power boosts, combines well with other cards
8. Gandalfs: Few have seen these Fabled Monsuta, let alone know what they do...well, except for perhaps Professor Bongsley

If you notice the players will be unable to collect #1 mints from packs, and this can be very simply explained. That is because the mysterious owner and creator of the Faded Monsuta Trading Card Game, known as Eddie Maxim, owns all of them! That is until now!

The only individual to have a known relationship with Eddie Maxim is Professor Bongsley himself, and he doesn't offer any information about him. All that can be discovered about this elusive entrepreneur is that he often hides away in the towers of Faded Monsuta Inc. While there is a government that reigns over Tokesylvania, many believe Eddie Maxim is pulling strings from behind the scenes.

Conspiracy theories aside, Eddie Maxim is about become a lot more public with his following as the first ever video will be sent out to Monsuta CardSharks everywhere, as they are invited to compete in the Ladder Rankings at Grand Faded Monsuta Stadium to compete for loads of Tetra Hydrinium as well as a shot at his personal cards. 

Put together the best deck you can, test it against friends and the toughest competitors you can find in Ranked Matches, climb the Ladder Rankings to the top and earn your fat stack and a chance at Faded Monsuta History. No one will hold these #1 cards except for Eddie Maxim and the Valiant Monsuta CardSharks that defeat him in epics Faded Monsuta Trading Card Game Battle!
