Pantheon deck builder & format guide
Pantheon is Grand Archive's casual multiplayer free-for-all for three or four players. Use GA DeckSmith to build legal 60/12 lists, browse Radiant Origins precons, and share decks with your pod — then confirm procedures on the official rules site.
At a glance
- Designed for 3–4 players in a free-for-all pod; last champion standing wins.
- Gods intervene through Lesser and Greater Boons granted to your champion.
- Everyone reveals a Level 0 Spirit champion and a Pantheon Barrier at the start.
- Modified first-turn flow: early players skip Wake Up, Materialize, and Recollection; only the last player in the first turn cycle may attack on turn one.
- Casual multiplayer format — ideal for kitchen-table games and Radiant Origins precon products.
Deck construction
Each player brings their own main deck, material deck, and boons. Tournament Pantheon also defines a broad card pool and a separate ban list — see the format conventions.
- Main deck
- Exactly 60 cards. No more than one copy of any card name.
- Material deck
- Exactly 12 cards, including at least one Level 0 champion. No duplicate card names.
- Boons
- One Lesser Boon and one Greater Boon placed face down in your Pantheon Zone at setup.
- Sideboard
- None — Pantheon does not use a sideboard.
In the deck builder, choose format Pantheon so your saved list is tagged correctly for sharing and filters.
Radiant Origins preconstructed decks
The Radiant Origins product line includes four ready-to-play Pantheon decks. Each box typically contains a 60-card main deck, a 12-card material deck, a Lesser Boon, a Greater Boon, and Pantheon-exclusive cards — plus a chance at a foil extended-art champion.
