Place

At any moment in the game, each card has to be in one place. Game actions might allow players to move specific cards from one place to another under various circumstances. The Battlefield is one place; there are a few others in which cards can be:

• Main Deck (each player has one): non-Fabled cards start here. This is a facedown pile of cards in which order is relevant. This is secret to all players. Cards are drawn from the top of this pile.
• Fables Deck (each player has one): Fabled cards start here. This is a facedown pile of cards with no relevant order. Each player can consult their own Fables Deck at any time (but not the opponent's). Usually Creature Token cards are kept here (though they are not considered Fabled).
• Graveyard (each player has one): cards that are no longer on the field usually are moved to the graveyard. This is a faceup discard pile of cards with no relevant order (but usually should be kept in the order cards are added, new cards being added to the top). Once a card hits a Graveyard, it will stay there until the end of the duel. Both graveyards are public and can be consulted by any players at any time. There are no effects that interact with the Graveyard, so it serves at most as a live log of events.
• Hand (each player has one): players draw cards from their decks to their hands. Normally, players hold their hands in their hands because it's a small amount of cards. They have no order and are secret to the the opponent. You should hold these cards facing yourself so that the opponent can only see their non-descriptive backs, while you get to see what they are.
