⌛ Bury: The top cards of your deck go to your discard and you gain that much Dust. Buried cards return when your deck reshuffles; nothing is lost for the run. The cards always go, but some foes drink time and thin the Dust you bank.
🛡 Guard: Absorbs incoming damage. Resets at the start of your turn.
🏜️ Dust: A counter that lasts the whole fight. It is never spent — your Dust cards read it and hit harder the more of it you have.
