Never thought to look here before, but for those of you that haven't it gives a good overview of the phases, include the 4th one - the Status Phase. Most of it has already been covered in the preview articles but this is the first mention I've seen of the Status Phase.

Heh, never thought to look there indeed! Status phase seems to be the regular bookkeeping phase. Good catch though! Nice and comprehensive.

I always assumed it would be something like that - nice to see what it entails though

Note that it references readying exhausted cards, which was something being asked about in another thread.
