In BattleForge, [[Player vs Player|Player versus Player]] (abbreviated [[PvP]]) allows players to take their decks and challenge other players. Players can play Unranked matches for a consequence-free environment or play to improve their [[PvP Ranks|rank]] in Ranked matches. The "standard" PvP gameplay mode allows players to use decks built from their entire collection of cards, while another mode limits decks to cards to a closed [[tome]] collection.

== PvP Gameplay Modes ==

In PvP players can choose to compete individually (1-on-1, or 1v1) or in two-person teams (2-on-2, or 2v2).

In a [[Collection Match]], players use decks made from their entire collection of cards with upgrades allowed. [[Tome Match|Ranked]] Collection Match will give you [[Tome Deck|Tokens]] and [[Tome Match|Gold]]. You can receive a max of six [[Collection Match|Battle Tokens]] from Collection Matches.

[[Tome Match]]es are matches in which both players use [[Tome Deck|Tome Decks]]. Like "sealed decks" in other collectible card games, a [[tome collection]] is established from six [[booster]]s plus eight additional common cards upon registering the tome collection. No cards may be added to these fifty-six random cards nor may the cards be upgraded. Finally, players may build one or more tome decks from one tome collection. The rewards for tome matches are greater than those for regular collection matches.

To add the cards to their general collection, players can disband their tome collection. Note that this is a one-way operation that cannot be undone. Further, tome decks are valid for one month from the time of their creation, after which the collection is disbanded and any associated tome decks are deleted.

*All players are on equal footing on a monetary basis, using exactly 1250 BattleForge points worth of cards

== Unranked PvP ==

Unranked matches allow players a free-form mode of PvP, without consequences or ranking constraints. This allows players to test new decks and strategies, take on players of opponents of their choice, and learn the PvP maps. Since Unranked PvP provides no constraints and consequence, it also provides no rewards.

== Ranked PvP ==

Ranked Matches use an automated match-up system in the [[Dueling Grounds]], while Unranked Matches are created in the [[Sparring Grounds]].

Players that participate in Ranked PvP earn an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system ELO score]. Before the game begins, an automated match-making system matches players or teams, and thus, the competition is not known until the game begins. The system tries to ensure that opponents have close ELO scores, though the time to find a match may take some time depending on the availability of opponents. Since these matches are somewhat guaranteed to be of close ability, ranked matches are the only way for players to earn [[PvP Tokens]] and to improve their ELO score.
