FULL-THROTTLE MECHANICS

START YOUR ENGINES

The first time you control a permanent with Start Your Engines!, your speed becomes 1. Increase your speed to unlock additional abilities!

EXHAUST

Exhaust abilities are activated abilities that can give you a potent punch, but only once. Use them wisely!
