You can manage & track your card collection and decks once you create an account and login.
This article assumes you're someone who has played the game before, at least to some extent. You don't need to remember every little detail, but it does assume you know the basic rules enough to understand these changes.
As always, if you have any questions, we're happy to help on

Occasionally, these sets will be updated with a fix or balance update. Think of it like a video game patch. We try to keep these updates few and far between, but we would rather fix a card than ignore it or ban it.

Rolling Actions are new type of action cards that are played tapped and face-up. They are not scrapped at the end of your turn, and untap at the start of your next turn. Once untapped, you can use their effect. Typically it involves scrapping the Rolling Action in order to gain a benefit.
Take the Shot is a simple example.
Stations are represented by the Station

icon, Stations are most commonly found on characters with a ride-able alt mode. They can be occupied by other characters and give bonuses to those characters. A more in-depth explanation of Stations can be found on the page of any card with one, such as
Greasestain.
You can go to a card's page if you'd like more detail on why it was banned. In short, most of the bans either were banned by Wizards of the Coast, from Wave 5 issues, or were a card that saw complete dominance and so we made a slightly nerfed version to replace it.
When battling, the pierce gained from flipped

battle icons no longer persist through end of turn, only through end of battle. This brings them inline with

and

battle icons.
If an effect would move "any number" of damage counters from one or more characters to another, the total amount of counters moved this way cannot exceed the receiving character's remaining health. If an effect moves a fixed number of damage counters from one character to another, the number moved can exceed the receiving character's remaining health.
In short,
Dinobot Sludge cannot move more counters onto than he has health remaining.
Bellicosity and
End Hostilities cancel each other out.
This is often asked by returning players: "what are the meta decks now?" "what decks are popular?" That's a hard question to answer, because the game is currently at a state where there isn't a clearly defined meta. That's intentional. It is our goal to bring as many characters/deck styles up to par as we can. This game will always have a hint of paper-rock-scissors to it, but by and large the winner will be the better player who builds a better deck.
We use three methods to play, all of which are detailed on the
Playing Online guide. In short, we either use webcams to play with physical cards, or we play digitally using OCTGN or Tabletop Simulator. In all three cases, we try to keep the game cheap (if not free) for people to play. OCTGN is free, Tabletop Simulator often goes on sale for $10, and we are totally fine with you printing cards at home to use on webcams.
