Backup Slot

Totem Reserve Slots

A champion-pack upgrade that allows a squad to own two more totems without increasing the six-card active limit.

Story so far

The keymaster's champion pack gives Donut two backup slots. The Royal Court can now hold eight totems but may still place only six in the active deck.

The empty reserve unexpectedly creates a trap: after Donut destroys two unwanted rewards, Alpha Male Carl and Leveled-Up Frank install themselves into the open slots and become irremovable until other cards replace them.

Appearance

Two dim card sockets positioned behind a brighter row of six active slots.

Role

Reserve capacity broadens deck choice while enabling the forced retention of unwanted personalized cards.

Relationships

Champion Pack — The pack grants the two additional spaces.
Princess Donut — She manages which cards occupy active and reserve positions.
Forced Totem Retention — The rule prevents immediate removal of the final two rewards.
