This article is incomplete. You can help the Kingdom Hearts Wiki by adding Add in all Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Deck Commands..
Deck Commands appear on the Command Menu in the bottom left corner
Deck Commands are attacks, magic, and item commands that appear on the Command Menu in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, the Command Matrix in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, and the Command Deck in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. The attacks, magic, and items are abilities that can be equipped from the Command Deck menu and once used, have a certain cooldown time, depending on the depth of the ability. This system was described to be like the card system in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories.
Battle Commands, Action Commands, and special abilities like Shotlock all have levels in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix only. When a command levels up, it becomes more powerful, and can sometimes have special support abilities attached to it. A command can be leveled up by gaining Command Points from defeating enemies in battle, or by playing the Command Board. In Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, the commands do not level up and do not combine.
Finish Commands only have one level, but must be mastered before they can be equipped. Instead of gaining experience from obtaining CP, each Finish Command has a specific experience requirement, such as activating a Command Style or slaying Unversed. Furthermore, only Finish Commands linked to the currently equipped Finish Command will accrue experience.
Attack Commands have a Keyblade symbol at the end of their slot, Magic Commands have a Magician hat at the end of their slot, Item Commands have a potion-like symbol at the end of their slot, Friendship Commands have a Hidden Mickey symbol at the end of their slot, Shotlock have a green circle with a three point symbol at the end of their slots, and Defensive Commands have a blue shield with a blue dot in the middle symbol at the end of their slots.
