The Overlord deck has the same card mix as two standard command decks, with the Overlord rules printed on the cards; it also adds Air Sortie cards and Red Army and USMC Nation cards. The rulebook says to shuffle both sets into one draw deck, which is the usual play, though sharing or splitting is possible. The designer advised against using a single normal deck: it is playable but gives fewer section cards and more reshuffles.
