Tips
  • Build a dummy deck with junk cards and the rare card you intend to lose to the Queen of Cards to ensure she takes it.
  • Always check where the Queen of Cards is heading next after a trade.
  • The Queen of Cards' son holds the cards you lose to her, allowing you to win them back.
  • Some rare cards are obtained from optional bosses or specific NPCs, so pay attention to quest progression.
