Introduction

Phantom Threshold is a living card game set in Eonell, a world of rusted spires and ruin-lit horizons where old empires, wasteland cults, and machine-haunted cities claw for breath. Assemble a crew and contest the lanes of power while the gloom presses in! Every release grows the story and your arsenal: new operators, relic-tech, and occult protocols. No mercy for the unprepared! Cross the Threshold, seize priority, and carve a signal through the noise.

Character Starter Decks

Every Character Starter Deck comes with 52 cards and includes an Origin Story for the character that can be played in Solo Mode.

Nysera Echoveil (Cryptic Dominion)

Whisper-born out of Shadowfen’s veiled bazaars, Nysera turns memory into wire and omen into weapon. She threads “echoes” through the dead channels of Eonell, slowing advances, stealing tempo, and seizing opportunities when the city exhales. This starter leans on psykic anomalies, denial lines, and surgical flips - quiet pressure that builds to a precise collapse. If you favor inevitability over spectacle, Nysera is the hush before the siren, the crown drawn in static.

Grax Shatterhorn (Wasteland Sovereigns)

A breaker-king of the wastelands, Grax solves problems with impact. This starter leans into relentless, lane-crushing pressure: slam units that hit first, shove foes off positions, and turn occupied sites into scrap. Grax trades blood for tempo and keeps coming; once the horns lower, Priority follows. If you like brutal advances, armor-splitting blows, and victories measured in rubble, Shatterhorn is your creed.

Vesper Proxy (Ruin Regents)

A twilight intelligence in a borrowed body, Vesper moves like a rumor through dead circuits and fog-choked alleys. This starter thrives on obfuscation and duplication: mask identities, spawn decoys, and pivot lanes with surgical swaps. Your engine loops discarded protocols, hijacks neutral effects, and turns enemy tempo against itself. Win by misdirection: bait attacks into shadows, then flip the tides the moment the city blinks. If you like ghost-ops, recursion, and precision strikes from nowhere, Proxy is your shadow crown.

Scenario Packs

Every Scenario Pack comes with 52 cards and includes a story that can be played in Solo or Coop Mode.

Scenario #1: Ashmouth Bloom

In the ash rains beyond the enclaves, something takes root. The Bloom drinks memory and light, unfurling velvet-black petals that bend thought and turn scavengers into soil. Follow the Story Ladder through choking streets and slagged ravines as spores thicken, lanes corrupt, and every draw tastes of cinder. Cut it out fast, or let Eonell learn your name as compost. This is the wasteland’s lullaby: sleep, seed, devour.
