The Elder Scrolls®: Legends™

Jaws of Oblivion landed with 82 collectible cards, Daedric forces, and the new Invade mechanic, which let players build Oblivion Gates before opponents destroyed them. Moons of Elsweyr also arrived with 77 cards and the Wax and Wane and Consume mechanics, while Skooma Cat’s Playthings added 20 reward-bearing puzzles.

• Major expansions: Moons of Elsweyr introduced Khajiit cards, Pilfer interactions, preconstructed Theme Decks, a new playmat, and expansion packs; Jaws of Oblivion added Daedra, two Theme Decks, new card backs, six music tracks, 14 titles, and 18 quests.
• New mechanics and content: Wax and Wane tied card abilities to Tamriel’s lunar phases, while Consume let players remove cards from the discard pile for effects and added Imbued creatures designed around that interaction. Wandering Skeleton, Old Salty’s Assault, Sentinel Reclaimer, and Apprentice Necromancer expanded the card pool through monthly rewards and follow-up releases.
• Events and competition: The Events system returned with rotating activities, including Rumble Gauntlet, while the Masters Series returned at QuakeCon 2019 with a $50,000 prize pool. Dual Spectator Mode also let tournament viewers see both players’ hands.
• Balance and Arena changes: The Major Balance Change Update retuned cards including Transitus Shrine and Dawnbreaker, followed by changes to Alfiq Conjurer, Luzrah gro-Shar, Hunter-Killers, Inspiring Kinsman, Soulburst, Pact Shieldbearer, Renowned Instructor, and Mantikora. Arena increased the appearance rates of Jaws of Oblivion and Moons of Elsweyr cards and guaranteed a broader mix of dual-attribute, triple-attribute, and random class choices.
• Access and presentation: Quickplay added a direct route to the last saved play mode, while the redesigned exterior menus and expanded Chat Window functionality improved navigation and communication. Revised Wax and Wane animations and new Jaws of Oblivion visual effects also tightened the presentation.

Alliance War launched on April 15, 2019, adding 104 collectible cards, five triple-attribute factions, and four new mechanics. Isle of Madness also delivered a three-act story campaign, 55 cards, and the Shivering Isles-themed Double Cards and Mania/Dementia lane conditions.

• Alliance War expansion:
  • Alliance War introduced the Aldmeri Dominion, Empire of Cyrodiil, Ebonheart Pact, Daggerfall Covenant, and Guildsworn.
  • Empower, Expertise, Mobilize, and Veteran created new deckbuilding and combat strategies, while Versus Arena began awarding Alliance War packs.
• Isle of Madness story content: Isle of Madness followed retired spy Talym Rend through three story acts and added 55 playable cards, including Double Cards that could be used twice. Mania Lane and Dementia Lane added new board conditions, while Sheogorath received improved AI.
• Client and collection systems: The Complete User Interface Overhaul rebuilt the gameboard, card frames, menus, and animations, alongside the Lean Mobile Client and faster gameplay. Collection Exporting enabled deck-site sharing, and Mass Pack Opening let players open 50 or more packs by type.
• Competitive play: The Masters Series launched with Conquest best-of-five tournaments, one deck ban, and Masters Points determining qualification for the QuakeCon 2018 championship and its $50,000 prize pool. Daily Twitch Drops later expanded to provide rewards for watching Legends streams.
• Arena and balance: Arena expanded its card pool to include all sets, with newer cards appearing more frequently. The July 2018 balance pass changed Haunted Manor, Ulfric’s Uprising, Drain Vitality, Tel Vos Magister, Duke Vedam Dren, Mudcrab Merchant, and Hand of Dagoth; March tuning reduced Siege Catapult to 4/4, changed Indoril Mastermind to draw a card, and stopped self-destruction from triggering Slay.
