Heal, reverse, reveal
These magical elves are Guardians of life, here to help humanity at this critical juncture before Moloch has taken over our world completely. As a Guardian, you use your unique cards and hero abilities to reverse the Moloch Clock in your battle against the Shadow Arcs, winning back lost time before it’s too late.
Guardian decks lean into healing and time-reversal, and into cutting through deception before it lands. Each Guardian has a distinct playstyle — whether healing the Elowyn Tree or unleashing powerful combos — giving you the tools to control the board, counter deception, reverse time, and shift the balance of power in battle.
Deceive, pressure, accelerate
The Shadow Arcs rule the underworld of Elowyn, exploiting humanity’s misalignment to tilt the balance of power toward Moloch. As a Shadow Arc, you use deception, temptation, and pressure to disrupt the strategies of the Guardians while advancing the Moloch Clock.
Shadow decks hit harder and play dirtier. Deception is a real mechanic here, not flavour text — Nyx triggers it straight from her Hero Power. Each Shadow Arc has a unique playstyle — whether flooding the board with minions, giving false suggestions, or using brute force — giving you the tools to manipulate, outsmart, and pressure your opponent.
