Plugin Overview
| Name of the plugin | Effects Plus Expansion Pack |
| Current version: | 1.0.0 |
| Platform: | RPG Maker MZ |
| Available versions | Demo: No | Full: Yes |
What is an Expansion Pack?
An Expansion Pack, or EP, is an optional add-on created to extend Card Duel System with a focused new feature. It uses the cards, languages, artwork, and project information already managed by Card Duel Studio, then adds its own configuration options and runtime functionality.
Expansion Packs do not replace or include the main Card Duel System plugin. They are designed for developers who want to expand their card game with additional systems while keeping everything connected to the same Studio project.
Plugin Details: Effects Plus Expansion Pack
Effects Plus Expansion Pack adds a Discard Zone for each duelist and expands Card Logic with new tactical effects for recovery, piercing damage, destruction protection, card restoration, and victory by effect.
Players can open the Discard Zone during a duel, inspect discarded cards, and switch between their own zone and the opponent's zone. Recovery effects can filter eligible cards, select a quantity, and return chosen cards to the hand or field.
Discard Zones exist only for the current duel and never alter the player's permanent collection. Protection states receive configurable animated auras and counters so their effect remains clear on the field.
Features
- Dual Discard Zones: Track, browse, and inspect cards that leave play in separate player and opponent zones.
- Flexible Recovery Effects: Filter eligible cards and return selected targets from supported zones to the hand or field.
- Piercing Damage: Let configured attackers pass Battle damage through a defending Monster.
- Destruction Protection: Add physical and magical immortality with visible field auras and counters.
Use Examples
Graveyard Recovery Strategies
Create cards that recover selected allies, Magic Cards, or other filtered targets from the Discard Zone.
Piercing Attackers
Give selected Monsters a way to damage the opponent through a defensive card and create more aggressive deck identities.
Protected Boss Cards
Use physical or magical protection to build encounters where players must answer a visible defensive status in a specific way.
Alternative Win Conditions
Design rare or demanding card combinations that can win the duel directly when their conditions are fulfilled.
