Tags and hidden tags are card labels used in this wiki to organize cards into categories. Tags are viewable in the infobox, while hidden tags are not. Tags are used in conjunction with ability labels to categorize cards.
This page provides easy access for viewing all tags used to describe cards found in this wiki, whether collectible or uncollectible. This is intended to be used as a source of information for tagging new cards, and for pruning/purging scarcely-used tags if needed.

Rules
The following are some general guidelines on how to categorize cards with tags:
- "-related" tags are used on:
- Cards which affect the thing being related to.
- Cards which are affected by the thing being related to.
- "-generating" tags are used on:
- Cards which generate the generated thing.
- "-granting" tags are used on:
- Cards which grant the ability being referred to.
On rare occasions, these tags may be used together on one card.
- Examples:
Hadronox
