Three New Mechanics
Vendetta's reveals introduce a trash-matters engine and a new card type. Here is what each keyword does.
Flow
Play cards from your trash instead of your hand — built around champions who recover and reuse their power.
Burn
Send cards from your deck straight to the trash, fueling the set's trash-matters payoffs.
Empower
Permanently increase the abilities of cards you already have in play.
Decree
New spells designed to directly counter a specific opposing domain.
Unit-Gear
A brand-new card type that counts as both a unit and a piece of gear for card effects.
The roster
Nine Rival Legends
Vendetta trims the legend count from twelve to nine and builds the set around head-to-head rivalries.
