However, Balgruuf himself is a meager 3/3 for 7 magicka, and since the effect triggers at the start of your turn, he and all your creatures have to survive at least one of your opponent's turns, and if your opponent lacks the resources to kill even ''one'' of your creatures (especially the tokens that Balgruuf himself summons), you're probably winning by a country mile anyway.

About time this game had a page
Added DiffLines:
'''The Elder Scrolls: Legends''' is a free-to-play CollectibleCardGame based on the ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, developed by Dire Wolf Digital and published by Bethesda Softworks. The open beta went live on PC on August 4, 2016, and official launch was March 9, 2017; it also has since been released on Mac as well as iOS and Android tablets and mobile devices.
The game is similar to other [=CCGs=] such as ''VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft'' and ''VideoGame/Shadowverse''. Legends makes it more difficult for one player to dominate the game: the playing field is split into two "lanes" (with most creatures only able to attack enemies in the same lane as them), and upon losing set amounts of health, players have the chance to draw and play a bonus card during the opponent's turn.
In addition to normal matches, other play options include the Arena (which allows players to draft decks one card at a time to defeat 9 opponents with less than 3 losses), Stories (campaigns with matches themed to the story, which earn you new cards), and events (such as tournament-style "Rumble" events, or the Chaos Arena, which is a Sheogorath-themed Arena that adds silly art and unique lanes with different rules.)
Decks can be made up of cards from one or two "attributes" (combinations of two attributes are referred to as "classes"):
* '''Strength (Red)''': Strength specializes in dealing damage: creatures with lots of attack power, weapons, and spells. Features mostly Nords, Orcs, and Redguards, and creatures such as giants, Daedra, and werewolves.
* '''Intelligence (Blue)''': An emphasis on magic and creatures with tricky abilities. Features mostly High Elves, Dark Elves, and Bretons, with abilities such as shielding damage and summoning atronachs.
* '''Willpower (Yellow)''': Willpower is best at overwhelming the opponent with numbers and boosting the stats of your creatures; it also has many "guard" creatures to help put up strong defenses. Features mostly High Elves, Imperials, and Khajiit.
* '''Agility (Green)''': Agility specializes in sneaky moves: taking down enemies in one hit with "lethal" creatures, and moving creatures from lane to lane. Features mostly Khajiit, Argonians, and Wood Elves, and creatures such as goblins.
* '''Endurance (Purple)''': Endurance rewards a long game and features large creatures, magicka-ramping, healing, and guards. Features mostly Argonians and Imperials, and creatures such as vampires and other undead.
* '''Neutral (Gray)''': Not considered an attribute in and of itself. Neutral cards can be included in any deck regardless of attributes/class, and feature miscellaneous items and creatures, such as Dwarven automatons.
!!This game provides examples of:
* AnachronismStew: You can play characters from different eras, such as Queen Ayrenn and General Tullius, at the same time.
* AnAxeToGrind: Several cards, particularly ones featuring Nords, depict the character wielding an axe. There are also axe item cards that you can equip to creatures, such as [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Ancestor%27s_Battleaxe Ancestor's Battleaxe]].
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The "rune" system is designed for this. The first time you reach 25, 20, 15, 10, and 5 health, you draw a card, which can help keep you from getting behind. If the card says "Prophecy" on it, you can play it right away during your opponent's turn: this can allow you to, say, put out a guard before their creature can attack, or even destroy a creature, and it can help turn the tide of battle pretty quickly when you're losing.
* AntiMagic: Some cards, such as Mage Slayer and Iron Atronach, can't be damaged by actions (which are often spells).
* AntiPoopSocking: There's a cap on how much gold you can earn in matches per day. You can even earn a title, "The Persistent", for reaching the limit.
* AntiRageQuitting: If you disconnect during a match, you automatically lose the game, which also means your rank decreases accordingly.
* ApologeticAttacker: "Sorry" is one of the emote options, so you can do this (whether genuinely or sarcastically is your choice.)
* TheArchmage: The appropriately-named [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Indoril_Archmage Indoril Archmage]]. He's a 6/6 with Guard, that deals 6 damage to all enemy creatures in his lane when killed (which is enough to kill most normal-sized creatures).
* ArcVillain: Naarifin - the Thalmor general that led the attack on the Imperial City during the Great War before the events of ''Skyrim'' - is the villain of the default/tutorial story, "The Forgotten Hero".
* AscendedMeme: Several memes from the other games make an appearance here:
** [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Arrow_in_the_Knee Arrow in the Knee]] has its own card.
** Just like in Skyrim, if you kill a [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Prized_Chicken Prized Chicken]], you summon a bunch of Angry Villagers.
** [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Lydia Lydia]] always gets in your way, although this time it's by guarding both lanes rather than standing in doorways.
** You get an [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Adoring_Fan Adoring Fan]] upon becoming Arena champion, he will eventually respawn after being killed, and he cannot be silenced.
* AttackAttackAttack: The strategy of aggro decks (usually at least part Strength), naturally.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Some of the higher-cost cards:
** [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Alduin Alduin]] is a powerful 12/12 that destroys all other creatures and summons a dragon from your discard pile at the start of every turn, but he's the highest-cost card starting at 20 magicka (decreasing by 2 for each dragon in your discard pile). Even if you ramp your magicka and manage to play enough dragons, you're still going to have to play a long game before you decrease his cost enough and gain enough magicka to play him.
* Similarly, [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Iron_Atronach Iron Atronach]] is a 12/12 with Breakthrough, Guard, Regenerate, and can't be targeted with actions, but also costs 12 magicka.
* [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:The_Night_Mother The Night Mother]], at least if you're trying to earn the card's effect (deal 20 damage to the opponent, gain 20 health, draw up to 10 cards); while it's a cheap card, the requirement for the effect to trigger is to kill 20 enemy creatures, which isn't easy. It's more likely to be used to gain Slay benefits by killing the small 0/1 creatures you can generate with it.
* [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Divayth_Fyr Divayth Fyr]] deals 6 damage to a random enemy when played, and on each turn summons one of his Daughters which will also deal 6 damage and are a decently-sized 6/6. However, he's expensive at 11 magicka, and as a 6/6 he's small for his cost and more vulnerable to being killed.
* BalefulPolymorph: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Grisly_Gourmet Grisly Gourmet]] can turn creatures into sweetrolls, and [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Wabbajack Wabbajack]], as in the main games, can transform a card into a random creature (or a sweetroll).
* BarBrawl: Occurs in two of the story matches: the appropriately-named "The Brawl" from "The Forgotten Hero", and "Cloudy Dregs Inn" in "The Fall of the Dark Brotherhood".
* BarrierWarrior: Several cards come with, or have the ability to give another creature, a "Ward", which means that they avoid taking damage the first time they're attacked.
* BattleCry: All creature cards have a line of dialogue (well, for the ones that can talk anyway) for entering play and one for actually attacking.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: You can concede a match before the other player strikes the final blow.
* {{BFS}}: The [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Heirloom_Greatsword Heirloom Greatsword]], which is depicted as being nearly as tall as the person carrying it, and gives the creature +5/+0.
* BoringButPractical: Guard cards, such as [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Protector_of_the_Innocent Protector of the Innocent]]; even if they're relatively small and do nothing but guard, they can come in very useful, especially if you draw it as a Prophecy when one of your runes is broken: using it as a shield before your enemy can attack again can be the difference between losing and winning.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: Downplayed; everything in-game (stories, card packs, event tickets, etc) can be purchased with in-game gold, although you can spend money on them instead. You can even earn gold, soul gems, packs, etc for free by linking your Twitch and Bethesda accounts and putting a Legends stream on in the background.
* CanonForeigner: Legends features a lot of, well, ''legendary'' characters from Elder Scrolls lore, but the Story mode has characters created for Legends itself, many of whom have their own cards.
* CatchPhrase: The enter play/attack dialogue. Several have become somewhat memetic, such as Imperial Grunts' "Your orders," which can be heard up to four times in a row when summoned by [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Imperial_Reinforcements Imperial Reinforcements]].
* ColorCodedItemTiers: The card rarities - Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary - correspond with a color: white, blue, purple, and gold.
* CosmeticAward: You can get "premium" (animated) legendaries for ranking high in Rumble/Melee events, and an alternate-art premium card just for entering Grand Melee events, no matter how you place. You can also earn "titles" from completing achievements, which appear under your name in games.
* CrutchCharacter: Aggro decks rely on low-cost creatures that can do a lot of damage early on, but if they're not able to get ahead early on, that can spell trouble for them.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Decks with Willpower are good at this. Fill your lanes with Imperial Grunts and put up a Divine Fervor or two (which gives +1/+1), and your little 1/1s are suddenly dealing a bunch of damage when they all get a chance to attack.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Breaking an opponent's rune. You might be able to deal a lot of damage, but you also might be putting the perfect card(s) in your opponent's hand - or even triggering a Prophecy which can allow them to put up a guard or even [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Piercing_Javelin destroy one of your creatures]] during your turn before you can attack with your next creature.
* DefeatMeansPlayable: In the Story modes, your opponent's decks will often feature a new card that you earn upon defeating them.
* DeflectorShield: Ward. It protects the creature from taking damage when first hit (though does not block "destroy this creature".)
* DevelopersForesight: All creatures have audio for entering play and attacking - even creatures that start with 0 attack, and creatures such as [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Ageless_Vampire Ageless Vampire]] who normally transform rather than being summoned, but have the chance to be through special circumstances like a Reanimation lane.
* DivingSave: Getting a creature with Guard on a prophecy and putting it in the way of an enemy creature to stop it from attacking you is essentially this.
* DownToTheLastPlay: Many games can happen like this, especially since the Rune/Prophecy system is designed to help players catch up when they lose too much health. Many a match gets the tables turned when a player draws a Guard prophecy card on their 5-health rune.
* DynamicEntry: Charge lets creatures attack right away when played, without having to wait until the next turn. Some cards also deal damage when summoned: special mention goes to [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Alduin Alduin]] who destroys all other creatures when summoned.
* EnemySummoner: Plenty of these. Some cards, like [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Jarl_Balgruuf Jarl Balgruuf]], summon a creature every turn; others do it based on a trigger (such as [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Ancient_Lookout Ancient Lookout]] who summons them when you play a dragon).
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Surly Barkeep in the "Fall of the Dark Brotherhood" story.
* ForcedTutorial: You start the game in Story mode - the first match of The Forgotten Hero - to teach you how to play before you can get to the main menu.
* GatheringSteam: Magicka increases one per turn, with a normal of maximum of 12. Some cards can help you ramp it up by increasing your maximum by 1, which allows you to go over 12.
* GlassCannon: Creatures used in aggro decks are often this, such as [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Graystone_Ravager Graystone Ravager]], which is a 4/1 creature.
* GoThroughMe: Creatures with "Guard" must be attacked before you can attack the other player or creatures in the lane without it. [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Lydia Lydia]], in particular, guards both lanes.
* GracefulLoser: All of the "concede" quotes are polite. There's also a "Good game" emote available, as a friendly way to wrap up matches.
* GuideDangIt: Unlike most cards, which are pretty clear on what they'll do, the Adoring Fan's text "''Adoring Fan will return''" doesn't really explain what will happen. It means that he'll randomly be summoned at the start of a future turn after being killed.
* HerdHittingAttack: Some cards, like Fire Storm and Dawn's Wrath, can damage or destroy multiple creatures (usually confined to one lane, but some affect both.)
* HeroicSecondWind: The Rune/Prophecy system can result in this. A player who's low on health might get just the cards they need thanks to their runes breaking and can make a comeback.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: One of the possible special game rules during the Chaos Arena event is "Your Own Worst Enemy", where the players use each other's decks instead of their own.
* AnIcePerson: Several ice-related spells are available, which either deal damage or shackle a creature.
* InstantWinCondition: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Jarl_Balgruuf Jarl Balgruuf]] has one; you win if both lanes are full. Some of the Story mode matches have win conditions too, such as "Hilltop Shrine" from "The Fall of the Dark Brotherhood", which requires you to kill 6 of the creatures by using Lethal, and "Crime Spree" from "Return to Clockwork City", which requires you to commit four "crimes": vandalism (destroy a support or rune), burglary (steal a card), assault (wound a creature), and murder (kill a chicken).
* InsufferableGenius: Lillandril Hexmage, whose quotes are ''"They'll never outsmart me."'' and ''"Brains over brawn!"''
* IShallTauntYou: One of the emote options is "Taunt".
* JokeCharacter: The Prized Chicken, a 5-cost 0/1 creature that, when killed, summons a lane full of 1/1 Angry Villagers.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: You can concede a match if you've realized that you can't win and don't want to wait for the opponent to finish it.
* LargeHam:
** Alduin. "DAAR LEIN LOS DII!"
** Sheogorath, who takes over for the Arena announcer during the Chaos Arena event.
* LightningBruiser: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Tazkad_the_Packmaster Tazkad the Packmaster]], a 6/6 with Breakthrough and Charge. Swiftwing Dragon is similarly large as a 5/5 with Charge. [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Child_of_Hircine Child of Hircine]] is a 6/7 that can attack again on the same turn if it kills a creature, so he can clear out multiple small creatures and hit the opponent for 6 on the same turn.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Shields are available to be equipped to creatures, and typically add to their defense.
* MontyHaul:
** When the Heroes of Skyrim expansion went live, all players got a free 50-card deck. The other decks could be purchased with gold for a reasonable price, and between the five decks a large portion of the Skyrim cards were covered.
** Free card packs are given out to those who log in during Chaos Arena weekends.
** There's Twitch Drops, where if you link your Twitch and Bethesda.net accounts and watch Legends streams you get rewards. While they've nerfed the rewards from Twitch, for the first month or so after being implemented, it'd give either 600 gold (enough for 6 card packs), 1500 soul gems (more than enough to summon a legendary of your choice), or a random Legendary, roughly once per 24 hours.
** The game has daily login rewards, which give you gold, soul gems, a random card, or a card pack per day, up to a Legendary card if you log in every day in a month.
* MutualDisadvantage: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Withered_Hand_Cultist Withered Hand Cultist]] makes actions cost more for ''both'' players.
* {{Nerf}}: These occur from time to time if a card is too powerful for its cost, or if it causes particular deck types to win too often.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Not paying enough attention to card abilities, or playing the wrong card, can mess you up badly.
* NoobCave: There's a Practice mode where players can practice against the AI and earn soul gems (though it does not count toward achievements and daily quests.)
* OneHitKill: The Lethal keyword gives creatures the ability to kill the other creature in one hit, as long as they deal at least one damage.
* PlayEveryDay: The daily rewards and quests encourage this.
* PlayingWithFire: There are several fire-related actions: Fireball, Firebolt, Fire Storm, Cruel Firebloom, etc.
* PowerParasite: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Ahnassi Ahnassi]], who steals all keywords (Lethal, Guard, Ward, Drain, etc) from enemy creatures that are in play.
-->''"Ahnassi finds it useful to use her enemies' strength against them."''
* PrepareToDie: This phrase is what about half of the races say as their Taunt emote.
* RandomNumberGod: Not quite as prevalent as in some other [=CCGs=], but it occurs:
** Is the card you're drawing on a rune break going to be a prophecy (and just the card you're hoping for)?
** Some cards, like [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Cruel_Firebloom Cruel Firebloom]] and [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Brutal_Ashlander Brutal Ashlander]], will hit a random target, so you'll be crossing your fingers that it hits the right enemy (or, if coming at you, doesn't kill the creature you want to keep alive).
** Some cards will have an effect applied in cases such as "if the top card of your deck is an Agility card", and [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Illusory_Mimic Illusory Mimic]] gets the keywords of the top three cards of your deck (so you'd better hope that they're creatures and have good keywords....)
* SingleUseShield: Wards break after the first time they block damage.
* SplashDamageAbuse: Different actions can be used to hit creatures that are behind guards or Cover.
* StatusBuffDispel: The effect "Silence" clears any buffs, keywords, and other abilities from a creature.
* {{Stonewall}}: The two most notable are [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Portcullis Portcullis]], a 0/9 with Prophecy and Guard, and [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Oldgate_Warden Oldgate Warden]], a 0/5 with Guard and Regenerate (heals itself at the start of the player's turn). Giving cards like this a [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Ring_of_Imaginary_Might Ring of Imaginary Might]] makes them dangerous, as it gives them two more health and then makes their power equal to their health, so suddenly you have an 11/11 or 7/7.
* TacticalWithdrawal: Cards like Close Call enable you to return one of your creatures to your hand. Doing so means that when you play it again, it'll be back at its normal health and if it has a Summon ability it'll be activated again.
* TakingYouWithMe: Some cards do damage to both players, so it is fully possible for both players to be killed at once; the player who played the card that dealt the damage is considered the winner in this case. There's even an achievement for winning a game at negative health.
* TotalPartyKill: Not so easy to wipe the board due to having two separate lanes (and most cards only affecting one lane), but cards like Arrow Storm can manage it if they're all small creatures.
* TurnsRed: Fearless Northlander gains +2 attack when he takes damage.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Though emotes are the only way to communicate with the other player, some do this, typically via spamming. Not as common as in other games, however, and can be muted.
* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: The match ends when one of the players dies, even if they've got a full board of creatures.
* WhenTreesAttack: Spriggan creatures are basically sentient trees.
* WhyWontYouDie: Some creatures summon a similar creature upon their death, such as the 1/1 Deathless Draugr that summons a 1/1 Skeleton upon death. The Reanimation lane type also summons skeletons when a creature dies.
* ZergRush: A common ability of Strength-or-Willpower-using decks, particularly ones that summon a lot of Nord Firebrands (a 1/1 with Charge, which means it can attack immediately.)
The game is similar to other [=CCGs=] such as ''VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft'' and ''VideoGame/Shadowverse''. Legends makes it more difficult for one player to dominate the game: the playing field is split into two "lanes" (with most creatures only able to attack enemies in the same lane as them), and upon losing set amounts of health, players have the chance to draw and play a bonus card during the opponent's turn.

* Similarly, [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Iron_Atronach Iron Atronach]] is a 12/12 with Breakthrough, Guard, Regenerate, and can't be targeted with actions, but also costs 12 magicka.
* [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:The_Night_Mother The Night Mother]], at least if you're trying to earn the card's effect (deal 20 damage to the opponent, gain 20 health, draw up to 10 cards); while it's a cheap card, the requirement for the effect to trigger is to kill 20 enemy creatures, which isn't easy. It's more likely to be used to gain Slay benefits by killing the small 0/1 creatures you can generate with it.
* [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Divayth_Fyr Divayth Fyr]] deals 6 damage to a random enemy when played, and on each turn summons one of his Daughters which will also deal 6 damage and are a decently-sized 6/6. However, he's expensive at 11 magicka, and as a 6/6 he's small for his cost and more vulnerable to being killed.
* BalefulPolymorph: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Grisly_Gourmet Grisly Gourmet]] can turn creatures into sweetrolls, and [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Wabbajack Wabbajack]], as in the main games, can transform a card into a random creature (or a sweetroll).
* BarBrawl: Occurs in two of the story matches: the appropriately-named "The Brawl" from "The Forgotten Hero", and "Cloudy Dregs Inn" in "The Fall of the Dark Brotherhood".
* BarrierWarrior: Several cards come with, or have the ability to give another creature, a "Ward", which means that they avoid taking damage the first time they're attacked.
* BattleCry: All creature cards have a line of dialogue (well, for the ones that can talk anyway) for entering play and one for actually attacking.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: You can concede a match before the other player strikes the final blow.
* {{BFS}}: The [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Heirloom_Greatsword Heirloom Greatsword]], which is depicted as being nearly as tall as the person carrying it, and gives the creature +5/+0.
* BoringButPractical: Guard cards, such as [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Protector_of_the_Innocent Protector of the Innocent]]; even if they're relatively small and do nothing but guard, they can come in very useful, especially if you draw it as a Prophecy when one of your runes is broken: using it as a shield before your enemy can attack again can be the difference between losing and winning.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: Downplayed; everything in-game (stories, card packs, event tickets, etc) can be purchased with in-game gold, although you can spend money on them instead. You can even earn gold, soul gems, packs, etc for free by linking your Twitch and Bethesda accounts and putting a Legends stream on in the background.
* CanonForeigner: Legends features a lot of, well, ''legendary'' characters from Elder Scrolls lore, but the Story mode has characters created for Legends itself, many of whom have their own cards.
* CatchPhrase: The enter play/attack dialogue. Several have become somewhat memetic, such as Imperial Grunts' "Your orders," which can be heard up to four times in a row when summoned by [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Imperial_Reinforcements Imperial Reinforcements]].
* ColorCodedItemTiers: The card rarities - Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary - correspond with a color: white, blue, purple, and gold.
* CosmeticAward: You can get "premium" (animated) legendaries for ranking high in Rumble/Melee events, and an alternate-art premium card just for entering Grand Melee events, no matter how you place. You can also earn "titles" from completing achievements, which appear under your name in games.
* CrutchCharacter: Aggro decks rely on low-cost creatures that can do a lot of damage early on, but if they're not able to get ahead early on, that can spell trouble for them.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Decks with Willpower are good at this. Fill your lanes with Imperial Grunts and put up a Divine Fervor or two (which gives +1/+1), and your little 1/1s are suddenly dealing a bunch of damage when they all get a chance to attack.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Breaking an opponent's rune. You might be able to deal a lot of damage, but you also might be putting the perfect card(s) in your opponent's hand - or even triggering a Prophecy which can allow them to put up a guard or even [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Piercing_Javelin destroy one of your creatures]] during your turn before you can attack with your next creature.
* DefeatMeansPlayable: In the Story modes, your opponent's decks will often feature a new card that you earn upon defeating them.
* DeflectorShield: Ward. It protects the creature from taking damage when first hit (though does not block "destroy this creature".)
* DevelopersForesight: All creatures have audio for entering play and attacking - even creatures that start with 0 attack, and creatures such as [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Ageless_Vampire Ageless Vampire]] who normally transform rather than being summoned, but have the chance to be through special circumstances like a Reanimation lane.
* DivingSave: Getting a creature with Guard on a prophecy and putting it in the way of an enemy creature to stop it from attacking you is essentially this.
* DownToTheLastPlay: Many games can happen like this, especially since the Rune/Prophecy system is designed to help players catch up when they lose too much health. Many a match gets the tables turned when a player draws a Guard prophecy card on their 5-health rune.
* DynamicEntry: Charge lets creatures attack right away when played, without having to wait until the next turn. Some cards also deal damage when summoned: special mention goes to [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Alduin Alduin]] who destroys all other creatures when summoned.
* EnemySummoner: Plenty of these. Some cards, like [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Jarl_Balgruuf Jarl Balgruuf]], summon a creature every turn; others do it based on a trigger (such as [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Ancient_Lookout Ancient Lookout]] who summons them when you play a dragon).
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Surly Barkeep in the "Fall of the Dark Brotherhood" story.
* ForcedTutorial: You start the game in Story mode - the first match of The Forgotten Hero - to teach you how to play before you can get to the main menu.
* GatheringSteam: Magicka increases one per turn, with a normal of maximum of 12. Some cards can help you ramp it up by increasing your maximum by 1, which allows you to go over 12.
* GlassCannon: Creatures used in aggro decks are often this, such as [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Graystone_Ravager Graystone Ravager]], which is a 4/1 creature.
* GoThroughMe: Creatures with "Guard" must be attacked before you can attack the other player or creatures in the lane without it. [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Lydia Lydia]], in particular, guards both lanes.
* GracefulLoser: All of the "concede" quotes are polite. There's also a "Good game" emote available, as a friendly way to wrap up matches.
* GuideDangIt: Unlike most cards, which are pretty clear on what they'll do, the Adoring Fan's text "''Adoring Fan will return''" doesn't really explain what will happen. It means that he'll randomly be summoned at the start of a future turn after being killed.
* HerdHittingAttack: Some cards, like Fire Storm and Dawn's Wrath, can damage or destroy multiple creatures (usually confined to one lane, but some affect both.)
* HeroicSecondWind: The Rune/Prophecy system can result in this. A player who's low on health might get just the cards they need thanks to their runes breaking and can make a comeback.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: One of the possible special game rules during the Chaos Arena event is "Your Own Worst Enemy", where the players use each other's decks instead of their own.
* AnIcePerson: Several ice-related spells are available, which either deal damage or shackle a creature.
* InstantWinCondition: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Jarl_Balgruuf Jarl Balgruuf]] has one; you win if both lanes are full. Some of the Story mode matches have win conditions too, such as "Hilltop Shrine" from "The Fall of the Dark Brotherhood", which requires you to kill 6 of the creatures by using Lethal, and "Crime Spree" from "Return to Clockwork City", which requires you to commit four "crimes": vandalism (destroy a support or rune), burglary (steal a card), assault (wound a creature), and murder (kill a chicken).
* InsufferableGenius: Lillandril Hexmage, whose quotes are ''"They'll never outsmart me."'' and ''"Brains over brawn!"''
* IShallTauntYou: One of the emote options is "Taunt".
* JokeCharacter: The Prized Chicken, a 5-cost 0/1 creature that, when killed, summons a lane full of 1/1 Angry Villagers.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: You can concede a match if you've realized that you can't win and don't want to wait for the opponent to finish it.
* LargeHam:
** Alduin. "DAAR LEIN LOS DII!"
** Sheogorath, who takes over for the Arena announcer during the Chaos Arena event.
* LightningBruiser: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Tazkad_the_Packmaster Tazkad the Packmaster]], a 6/6 with Breakthrough and Charge. Swiftwing Dragon is similarly large as a 5/5 with Charge. [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Child_of_Hircine Child of Hircine]] is a 6/7 that can attack again on the same turn if it kills a creature, so he can clear out multiple small creatures and hit the opponent for 6 on the same turn.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Shields are available to be equipped to creatures, and typically add to their defense.
* MontyHaul:
** When the Heroes of Skyrim expansion went live, all players got a free 50-card deck. The other decks could be purchased with gold for a reasonable price, and between the five decks a large portion of the Skyrim cards were covered.
** Free card packs are given out to those who log in during Chaos Arena weekends.
** There's Twitch Drops, where if you link your Twitch and Bethesda.net accounts and watch Legends streams you get rewards. While they've nerfed the rewards from Twitch, for the first month or so after being implemented, it'd give either 600 gold (enough for 6 card packs), 1500 soul gems (more than enough to summon a legendary of your choice), or a random Legendary, roughly once per 24 hours.
** The game has daily login rewards, which give you gold, soul gems, a random card, or a card pack per day, up to a Legendary card if you log in every day in a month.
* MutualDisadvantage: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Withered_Hand_Cultist Withered Hand Cultist]] makes actions cost more for ''both'' players.
* {{Nerf}}: These occur from time to time if a card is too powerful for its cost, or if it causes particular deck types to win too often.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Not paying enough attention to card abilities, or playing the wrong card, can mess you up badly.
* NoobCave: There's a Practice mode where players can practice against the AI and earn soul gems (though it does not count toward achievements and daily quests.)
* OneHitKill: The Lethal keyword gives creatures the ability to kill the other creature in one hit, as long as they deal at least one damage.
* PlayEveryDay: The daily rewards and quests encourage this.
* PlayingWithFire: There are several fire-related actions: Fireball, Firebolt, Fire Storm, Cruel Firebloom, etc.
* PowerParasite: [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Ahnassi Ahnassi]], who steals all keywords (Lethal, Guard, Ward, Drain, etc) from enemy creatures that are in play.
-->''"Ahnassi finds it useful to use her enemies' strength against them."''
* PrepareToDie: This phrase is what about half of the races say as their Taunt emote.
* RandomNumberGod: Not quite as prevalent as in some other [=CCGs=], but it occurs:
** Is the card you're drawing on a rune break going to be a prophecy (and just the card you're hoping for)?
** Some cards, like [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Cruel_Firebloom Cruel Firebloom]] and [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Brutal_Ashlander Brutal Ashlander]], will hit a random target, so you'll be crossing your fingers that it hits the right enemy (or, if coming at you, doesn't kill the creature you want to keep alive).
** Some cards will have an effect applied in cases such as "if the top card of your deck is an Agility card", and [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Illusory_Mimic Illusory Mimic]] gets the keywords of the top three cards of your deck (so you'd better hope that they're creatures and have good keywords....)
* SingleUseShield: Wards break after the first time they block damage.
* SplashDamageAbuse: Different actions can be used to hit creatures that are behind guards or Cover.
* StatusBuffDispel: The effect "Silence" clears any buffs, keywords, and other abilities from a creature.
* {{Stonewall}}: The two most notable are [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Portcullis Portcullis]], a 0/9 with Prophecy and Guard, and [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Oldgate_Warden Oldgate Warden]], a 0/5 with Guard and Regenerate (heals itself at the start of the player's turn). Giving cards like this a [[http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Legends:Ring_of_Imaginary_Might Ring of Imaginary Might]] makes them dangerous, as it gives them two more health and then makes their power equal to their health, so suddenly you have an 11/11 or 7/7.
* TacticalWithdrawal: Cards like Close Call enable you to return one of your creatures to your hand. Doing so means that when you play it again, it'll be back at its normal health and if it has a Summon ability it'll be activated again.
* TakingYouWithMe: Some cards do damage to both players, so it is fully possible for both players to be killed at once; the player who played the card that dealt the damage is considered the winner in this case. There's even an achievement for winning a game at negative health.
* TotalPartyKill: Not so easy to wipe the board due to having two separate lanes (and most cards only affecting one lane), but cards like Arrow Storm can manage it if they're all small creatures.
* TurnsRed: Fearless Northlander gains +2 attack when he takes damage.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Though emotes are the only way to communicate with the other player, some do this, typically via spamming. Not as common as in other games, however, and can be muted.
* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: The match ends when one of the players dies, even if they've got a full board of creatures.
* WhenTreesAttack: Spriggan creatures are basically sentient trees.
* WhyWontYouDie: Some creatures summon a similar creature upon their death, such as the 1/1 Deathless Draugr that summons a 1/1 Skeleton upon death. The Reanimation lane type also summons skeletons when a creature dies.
* ZergRush: A common ability of Strength-or-Willpower-using decks, particularly ones that summon a lot of Nord Firebrands (a 1/1 with Charge, which means it can attack immediately.)
