Game Basics
There is so much information out there on how to play PoxNora, it'd be a bit of a waste to re-type the basics here. Always go through the PoxNora Getting Started pages BEFORE worrying about more advanced topics.

Runes and Premium Accounts
Premium Accounts
"Do I Have to get a Premium Account?" No. The premium account gives you three primary benefits:
- One Free Warbanner
- Access to the Premium Store (so you can purchase single runes)
- Free Rune Packs (Every 30 days, you receive a 3.00 USD credit - the price of a 10 Rune Booster Pack)
Purchasing Runes
Obtaining new runes requires them to be purchased, which may be a let down for people without ability to purchase them. However, for people who do want to buy new runes, they can be bought at the store in various packs. One can also buy 10 runes of the latest expansion, which is great for long-time players.
Trading Runes
Trades are done auction style. You create a group of runes you want to auction off, and then set a time frame. Until it expires, people can bid on the group with their runes. (Runes bid with become locked from decks or other trades.) These bids can be accepted or rejected, unlocking (and trading with the accepted bid) the runes involved.
When the time limit expires, the person auctioning the runes has 24 hours to decide which bid he wants to accept. If he doesn't choose one, the offers will expire, unlocking any runes involved.
