Caller's Bane (formerly Scrolls) is a variation of a strategy collectable card game, developed by Minecraft creator Mojang and released in late 2014. It contains four factions; different sets of cards which use resources unique to them: Growth, Order, Energy, and Decay. It also contains tutorials, trials, AI for offline matches, and systems in place for online matches.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The game plays out like a combination of a board game and a card game, where each player enters a match with "scrolls" that are randomly drawn, then can be used to summon either creatures, structures, or enchantments onto a tiles on a battlefield. The main objective is to knock down three of the enemy's five idols, which are at their side of the board, and at the far end of each of the board's five rows. In order to acquire scrolls, you pick a faction starter pack, and from there on you must purchase all of your scrolls from the shop using either gold or shards, the former being the earned in-game currency, and the latter being the purchased with real money currency.There was some minor controversy about the initial name after Bethesda objected to Mojang trying to trademark Scrolls claiming it infringed on their own Elder Scrolls trademark - the upshot was that the name could remain but no sequels could use it so Scrolls 2 or Scrolls: The Second Coming are out.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })On 20 June 2018, Mojang announced that the game is going free-to-play and that Scrolls has been renamed Caller's Bane.

Alpha Strike: Summoned units have cooldowns before every attack. Scrolls exist that can force this cooldown to 0 or down a fixed amount. With great timing, your large and otherwise un-coordinated army will attack with sheer numbers all at once.

Bribing Your Way to Victory: Mostly averted. Shards can be purchased with real-life currency, but can only be spent on starter decks (and only one copy of each) and six specific cards that refresh each week. A player will get cards much more quickly by playing matches to earn gold or by trading.

Fantasy Gun Control: Averted by Energy, but only by Energy. They have a number of gun-toting tribesmen, a couple of automata with built-in guns, a (horribly inaccurate) mortar, and a good variety of explosives.
