The blue player could then play a 3-mana spell. After playing the Vanguard Sergent (which costs 3 mana), they would have 1 regular mana and 2 spell mana left over. In the image above, the blue player has 4 mana with 2 spell mana saved from their previous turn. This gives you flexibility to think ahead and choose to pass a turn so you can use a more expensive card ahead of their normal curve for example. This banked mana can only be used to cast spells and allows every deck access to a form of “ramp”. Mana Banking (Spell Mana)Īnother unique feature of LOR is that any unused mana from previous rounds is saved (up to a max of 3). The player who went second gets an Attack Token and starts the round. This continues until both players pass their turn, then the next round begins. If you end the round without using your Attack Token then you lose it. After two players pass their turn without taking any actions, the round ends. Within a round, players take turns taking actions.

The player who goes 2nd has the shield icon to represent that they are on the defensive side of a round if the player with the Attack Token decides to initiate combat. The player who goes first gets an Attack Token as indicated by the sword in the image above and means you can declare attackers to initiate combat. When a round begins, both players gain a mana gem and draw one card. LoR has a very unique approach to its gameplay compared to other card games due to its rounds, turns, and actions.īasically, the two players alternate starting a round, this is selected at random in Round 1. You can choose as many cards as you want to be replaced and you will not be penalized (in some card games you may lose opening cards if you mulligan). Just like in League, the goal of the game is to destroy the enemy’s Nexus before they destroy yours!Īt the beginning of a match, both players draw 4 cards and have the option to mulligan once. Players begin the game with a max of 20 Health representing their Nexus. LoR is a card game where you use the champions and regions of League of Legends to build a deck and battle an opposing player.Įach deck is comprised of 40 cards and can be created from a maximum of two regions (we’ll discuss these more later on).
