Dear Denizens of Issilith,

“If you're facing a lone Grarg, rest assured that it is just the one the rest of the pack wants you to see.”

Deep within the treacherous depths of the Great Grotto, a formidable creature known as Grarg Howler prowls. These majestic beings, reminiscent of wild wolves, roam the vast network of caves that riddle the canyon range. Residing in the shallower caverns, they have adapted to the dark and hazardous environment, their eyes gleaming with an otherworldly luminescence. The Great Grotto's treacherous terrain has moulded them into resilient predators, as reflected in their thick, armoured hide that provides protection against the perils that lurk within. With a pack mentality ingrained in their nature, Grarg Howler exemplifies unity and strength, relying on their primal instincts and unmatched ferocity to overcome any challenge. As guardians of the Great Grotto, they embody the untamed spirit of the canyon, embodying both its beauty and its inherent dangers.



The Grarg Howler emerges as a fearsome predator. With a power of 3 and a durable health of 2, this creature commands respect on the battleground. Known for their pack mentality and unwavering loyalty, the Grarg Howler thrives in the company of its kin. When summoned onto the field, it unleashes a call that echoes through the depths, beckoning another Grarg Howler from your deck to join your hand. United in purpose and strength, these hard to tame creatures unleash their combined might, potentially turning the tide of battle in your favour.

Dear Denizens of Issilith,

“Zyxls are known to strand their own ships when they don't feel like setting up camp.”

Deep within the shadows, the Zyxl Hideout looms as a testament to thievery, piracy, and daring exploits. These vile and surprisingly cunning creatures, once the wealthiest race in all of Issilith, fell from grace when their gold was stolen and used as catalysts for unimaginable magic. Stripped of their wealth and driven by an insatiable hunger for redemption, the Zyxl now seek to reclaim their lost riches. Within the confines of their hideout, a mighty ship, they hatch audacious plans, plotting daring raids, and defying all odds in their quest to restore their former glory. With their competitive nature and unwavering determination, the Zyxl Hideout becomes a symbol of defiance and an embodiment of their relentless pursuit to reclaim their fortune.



With no power of its own to directly engage in combat and a sturdy health of 3, the Hideout stands as a resilient stronghold, firmly anchored in the battleground, unable to attack or relocate. However, its strategic significance lies in its ability to deploy Hideout Scouts at the end of each turn. These scouts, with their modest yet agile stats of 1 power, 1 health, and 1 cost, venture forth to explore and dominate for their Zyxl brethren, embodying the relentless pursuit of riches and territorial dominance. In their quest for fortune and glory, the Zyxl Hideout becomes an integral part of any strategy.

Join the mighty and ragtag crew of the Zyxl’s and plunder your way to victory! Share your favourites and if you haven’t already, join our Discord channel and exchange your favourites with other Residents of Issilith!

Dear Denzines of Issilith,

"I swear, the next one to comment how it seems like a "fun guy" is getting a rock to the face." - Drakkorith scout

Within the realm of Issilith, the creeping madness spares no victim, not even the powerful Vestige witches or the surrounding flora. Among the nightmarish mutations, the Boltus emerges, once dormant fungi now transformed into a sentient creature that thrives on poison and waste. Growing with insatiable appetites, they serve as expendable soldiers for the Vestige army. The presence of the Infected Boltus is a chilling reminder of what happens to nature as it succumbs to the spreading darkness. Witness their grotesque forms and unsettling aura, bearing testament to the dark forces that grip the realm and haunt the battlegrounds of Issilith.



The Infected Boltus is a nightmarish creature faithfully serving the Vestige witches. With no power to attack with but a formidable health of 5, it appears unremarkable. However, when harmed, it reveals its true terror. Each instance of damage inflicts two searing acid counters on a random nearby enemy unit, corroding their defences and sealing their fate by dissolving their health one point at a time.

May the toxic and formidable might of the Vestige carry you to victory. Share your favourites and if you haven’t already, join our Discord channel and exchange your favourites with other Residents of Issilith!

Dear Denizens of Issilith,

"Let your conviction burn away the impure!"

At first glance, the Ascended may appear feeble and delicate, but beneath their seemingly frail exterior lies remarkable resilience that defies expectations. This resilience emanates from a mysterious protective field, an ethereal shield that enshrouds them, enhancing their endurance and fortitude. While some Ascended are aware of this shielding power, others remain oblivious to its true nature. However, the most adept individuals, honed through rigorous training, comprehend the wellspring from which this power emanates—their unwavering conviction, steadfast ideals, and unyielding determination. Armed with this profound knowledge, these chosen few harness their inner strength to amplify their endurance and, when necessary, channel their protective force into formidable and devastating manifestations. Whether achieved through unwavering focus or born from moments of desperate resolve, the unleashed power of Spirit Burst exemplifies the extraordinary capabilities of the Ascended.



This ethereal ability card, with a cost of 5, possesses the power to shape the destiny of local units. When unleashed, direct its focus towards a chosen unit, enshrouding it in a shimmering aura of protection. As if touched by the divine, the unit becomes adorned with two potent shield counters, forming an impenetrable barrier against malevolent forces. Empowered by this celestial shield, the unit undergoes a profound transformation, surging in power by an astounding +2. Your chosen unit becomes an unstoppable force, capable of triumphing over formidable adversaries and shifting the tides of battle.

May the radiant energies of Spirit Burst illuminate your path to victory! Share your favourites and if you haven’t already, join our Discord channel and exchange your favourites with other Residents of Issilith!

Dear Denzines of Issilith!

Fighting the isolated groups of Oblivion, such as the formidable Genemite is an exhausting challenge, leaving warriors feeling as if they've forgotten how to wield a blade.

TEAM MEMBER: Martin (Data Analyst)

FAVOURITE CARD: Genemite

“This aberration assaults the senses with its grotesque appearance, but it is nothing compared to what it will do to your psyche.”

Fighting against the forces of Oblivion is an already formidable challenge. While dealing with their vast armies may be a familiar concept for most armies in Issilith, the true menace lies within isolated special groups of Oblivion. Their tactics go beyond sheer brute force, delving into a realm of sinister strategies. Among these, the Genemites stand out as some of the most despised adversaries. Individually, they may not pose a significant threat, and dispatching one swiftly is feasible if detected early. However, their presence is rarely solitary, and spotting them in time proves unlikely. Engaging with these creatures takes a toll not only on the body but also on the mind, as prolonged encounters can make one feel as though the mastery of swordplay has been forgotten, leaving a sense of profound unease and fatigue.



Genemite is a formidable addition in any battle. With a power of 3, health of 3, and a cost of 3, this misevolved creature may not boast raw strength, but its unique ability more than compensates. When played, it targets a local unit, executing a daring move by stealing all modifications from its hapless victim. And here's the thing—Genemites are rarely alone. These cunning creatures tend to operate in groups, making their presence even more threatening on the battleground. With the innate ability to steal modifications from other units, Genemites become a force to be reckoned with. Their cunning presence on the field can completely change the game, seizing control and reshaping the outcome of the conflict. Brace yourself to witness the true power of the Genemites as they unleash their potent ability upon the unsuspecting.


WHY: Genemite is just downright freaky, but in a good and cool way. Being able to steal modifications from other units? That's awesome! It's like having a card that can adapt to any situation and turn the tables in an instant. Talk about a game-changer! I'm totally intrigued by its eerie presence and the potential it holds to shake things up on the battleground. The Genemite is one wild card that's both captivating and game-defining.

Dear Denzines of Issilith!

“Legends say that no harm will fall upon the land this Divine Beast chooses as its temporary resting place.”

Yul'Tiro, The Eternal Protector, is a Divine Beast and a paragon of the Ascended. His teachings, known as the Teachings of the Moon, stand as pillars of Ascended ideologies. Resembling a colossal turtle, he embodies the principles of protection and preservation. The Ascended zealously guard the knowledge of the Divine Beasts, keeping it hidden from outsiders and even most of their own population. These legendary creatures rarely reveal themselves to mortals, and their appearances are often dismissed as mere legends or visions.



As a legendary demigod, Yul'Tiro possesses a power of 2 and a towering health of 12. Summoning Yul'Tiro requires a strong heart and unwavering determination. What sets this majestic creature apart is its unique ability to absorb damage intended for your Core. Any harm aimed at your Core is deflected onto Yul'Tiro, shielding you from harm. His formidable shell also repels any effects cast upon him by an ability card. Embrace the divine might of Yul'Tiro and let this extraordinary Divine Beast protect you on the battleground.

Dear Denizens of Issilith!

“A blade of an enemy, a face of a friend.”

Oblivions are known for evolving into new shapes and forms, this powerful mis-evolved Metamorph takes it to the extreme taking the full form of another.

In the dark and twisted Void where Oblivions reign supreme, there are creatures born from the darkest corners of the mind. Among these twisted beings is the Metamorph, a creature that has the unique ability to replicate the physical form of another without acquiring any of its memories or abilities. Although it's not ideal for infiltration, this ability makes the Metamorph a valuable weapon in psychological warfare. The copy it creates is not perfect, but in the heat of battle, it's hard to differentiate from the original. While the Metamorph's ability to copy is limited, it becomes far more effective when a Prime is nearby. Beware the power of the Metamorph, for it is a creature that thrives on the chaos of war.



Metamorph is a 3-cost, power of 1, and health of 1, Oblivion creature. This card may seem weak at first glance. However, its ability is what sets it apart. When played, Metamorph targets a local non-legendary unit that costs less than or equal to your leadership level and then transforms itself into a copy of it. This ability allows you to duplicate a valuable unit from your deck or your opponents, making it a great card for controlling the battleground and creating powerful combos. Just be careful to choose the right target, as the copied unit will not copy any buffs or debuffs the original might have had.
