Rift Summoning Event

The Rift Summoning Event is one of the types of Events that you can choose to perform during your turn's Event Phase.

If there are Souls available to Soulrift (either on the Aether or on your cards), you can choose to conduct the Rift Summoning Event.

During this event, the player will consume Souls to open a Dimensional Rift, allowing him to summon powerful cards from their Extra Deck.

First, choose the level of Soulrift that you wish to perform (min = 1; max = 3). The number will determine the rank of the cards you can summon.

Then, you can summon as many cards as you wish of that rank or below. For example, of a total of 3 Rank 0 Souls on the Aether, you can elect to Soulrift 2 to open a Rank 2 portal, and then summon any number of Rank 1 or Rank 2 cards from your extra-deck (by paying their costs).

At the end of the Rift Summoning Event, you might need to pay a price. If didn't succeed in summoning at least one card with rank equal to the rank of the portal, you will pay 3 life points per rank missing. For example, if you open a Rift of rank 3 but only managed to summon several rank 1 cards, you will pay 6 life as a cost for your greed. This is the equivalent damage associated with Soulburn.

Note that you cannot summon cards from your hand during this (or any other) event, as Summoning is slow.
