Five colors, five ways to play.
Every Gundam card is Blue, Green, Red, White, or Purple — and you can run up to two of them in a deck. Here's what each color brings to the table.
Blue
Stability — the most card draw in the game, plus HP recovery and resting to grind out long battles.
Explore Blue →Green
Acceleration — resource ramp and search effects that deploy oversized units ahead of the curve.
Explore Green →Red
Offense — raw damage and relentless early pressure. The most proactive, beginner-friendly color.
Explore Red →White
Defense — the most blockers, attack-power reduction, bounce, and Commands to punish reckless aggression.
Explore White →Purple
Synergy — the newest color, built on series packages like Tekkadan and the Minerva Squad. Pairs widely.
Explore Purple →
Color-Pair Deck Techs
See each pairing in a real budget deck.
Color theory clicks fastest when you see it built. These budget deck techs each show a different color pair in action — what it wants to do, the cheap core that powers it, and how to pilot it.
Red/Green / Aggro
Red/Green Zeon Rush
The cheapest competitive on-ramp in the game: flood the board with cheap units and race the opponent's Shields down before they set up.

Blue/White / Control
Blue/White Control
The most beginner-friendly way into control, built from the ST01 starter: outlast, out-draw, and out-position behind durable blockers.

Green/Blue / Ramp
Green/Blue Ramp
Break the one-Resource-per-turn clock: accelerate your Resources and deploy oversized threats turns ahead of schedule.

Purple/White / Recursion
Purple/White Vulture
Fill your trash, then weaponize it. A fun, off-meta recursion brew on Gundam's newest color — and cheap because few are playing it yet.
