Enemies to lovers, but you pick the moment it flips
Malfoid has an insult ready for Leo. Unfortunately, her curse, her mirror and the entire school have other ideas. These six cards make a very poor case for indifference.
Start with a rival she expects to embarrass: even her pet snake curls happily around Leo's wrist. Then try an insult. The Compliment Curse makes that embarrassingly generous, too.
Read the cards below as a suggested arc through the set. In Cast, your hand chooses the next beat; this is not a fixed six-episode sequence. Jealous and its Flirt Duel branch are already filmed, with every line below. The other cards can film new episodes at a cliffhanger.

Odds
Before guarantees, the rarities shown here have these per-pull chances: Common 60% (10 cards in the full set); Rare 30% (7 cards in the full set). A Rare or better is guaranteed by pull 4 after 3 consecutive pulls below Rare; Epic or better by pull 15 after 14 below Epic; Secret by pull 50 after 49 without a Secret. Each counter resets on that rarity or better. If a free pull has no eligible card at the due tier, the guarantee stays due. See the full checklist.
