MOC ARCANA

The 7 factions of Cronos

Every meme of Cronos has a tribe. In MOC ARCANA, a trading card game on Cronos, each Token card belongs to one of 7 factions, and each faction fights its own way. Some steal, some come back from the dead, some evolve, some just hit harder.

You do not need a wallet to find yours. Open the Arena, play a free duel in your browser, and feel how the factions play before you collect a single card.

How factions work

A deck is built from 40 to 60 cards, and at least 70 % of it must be Tokens. Every Token carries a faction, and many card effects reward you for staying loyal: bonuses for allies of the same faction, combos that only trigger in a faction deck, answers that hit a rival faction harder.

You can mix factions, or build a pure deck around one of them. The Campaign takes you through the factions one chapter at a time, from the easiest to the hardest, before the finale where they all stand together.

The seven factions

FantasmaGhosts, illusions and the afterlife

Nothing stays dead in Fantasma. Its spirits and phantoms feed on the Dead Wallet, the discard pile where destroyed cards go, and bring fallen allies back when the opponent least expects it.

Beyond the factions: Events and Personas

Tokens are the heart of every deck, but two other card types change the course of a duel. Events are one-time cards inspired by real moments of crypto history: played from the hand, they reset the CP, call a giant or save a Token. Personas are key figures of the Cronos ecosystem: some are played at once, others wait face-down and answer the opponent's attacks and Events. Neither belongs to a faction, so they fit any deck.

Questions

Which faction is the strongest?

None. Each faction wins in its own way, and the Campaign orders them by difficulty for its story, not by power. The best deck is the one that fits how you play.

Can I mix factions in one deck?

Yes. Many effects reward a single-faction deck, but mixed decks are allowed and can be strong.

Is MOC ARCANA free to play?

Free play is: it runs in your browser, no wallet needed. Practice and the Campaign use a deck of your own cards, from packs.
