Life (ライフ Raifu) is the zone to put the cards that represent a player's "life" in the game. At the start of the game, each player starts with 4 cards in their Life. Life can be lost or reduced by damage dealt from attacks directed on Player Square without Z/X or from a card's effect. Additionally, when a player decked out, they lost a Life after rebuilding the deck.
A player loses the game if their Life is reduced to zero at any point during the game.
Decrease & Increase of Life[]
Life is said to be decreasing (減少する Genshō suru) if a card in Life is moved from Life to any other zones. Conversely, Life is said to be increasing (増加する Zōka suru) if a card is moved from any other zone to Life.
Damage to Life is the most common method to decrease the Life, while any ability with the recover keyword action (e.g., Life Recovery) is one to increase the Life. Some cards might possess an ability that moves a number of cards from Life and then recovers a number of Life equal to the number of cards moved, essentially decreasing and increasing the Life at the same time.
