But what about when you don’t have the cards you want to build a deck with? 🤔
As you start feeling comfortable at the tables, you’ll notice a lot of cards that your deck needs in it. Sure you can grab your daily packs and wait for the right card… or you can take matters into your own hands and craft excatly what you need!
Cardsmithing
In the world of Tolkheim, skilled artisans use powerful magics to create each card. You may not have the years of experience it takes to become a master cardsmith, but you can still leverage some of the leftover magic in your unused cards to craft a new card here and there!
In your card menu, you can see all the cards you own. If you remove the filter on unowned cards, you could see every available card and how your deck stacks up.
Now even the best player has a few cards sitting around that they don’t use, and we can dismantle those cards to harvest their residual magic!
Dismantling Cards
In your Deck Editor, you can click any card and then click “Deconstruct” to gain Parchment, Black Ink, Blue Ink, or Red Ink based on the card you’re destroying.
NOTE: This will permanently destroy the card you select! Use with caution!
Once you’ve accumulated enough of Ink and Parchment, you can take those resources to craft entirely new cards.
Crafting New Cards
There are a ton of options for cards to craft, so don’t hurry into any decision! Choose how to use your resources wisely. Over time, you’ll get more and more cards… you don’t have to have them all right away!
Once you’ve selected the card you want to craft, double check that you know what the Ink cost is. Different rarities of cards have different costs to craft, and you don’t want to run out before you’ve crafted everything you need.
Click the craft button, and you’re ready to go!
Don’t go overboard all at once. When you craft some cards, see how they work in your deck before you craft a bunch more. You never know when you’ll spot a strategy you didn’t see and your deck-crafting plans may change.
Build Out Your Deck!
Even just making a few cards strategically can open up your deck to using entirely new tactics. The right Action Card at the right time can turn the tides of battle, and crafting the right cards to complement your existing deck can enhance your other cards and open up new combos!
You’re bound to make a miscalculation here and there… don’t sweat it! You can always keep grabbing daily packs or packs from the market for fresh crafting fodder. The best decks weren’t made overnight, but crafted diligently and thoughtfully!
Good luck with your crafting – and good fortune at the tables!
The game has begun, legends! Have you taken your seat at the table?
Legends Reborn is not a complicated game to jump into… you can grab one of the pre-made decks and be having a blast at the tables right away after starting up the game for the first time.Â
That having been said, there’s a lot of nuance to deck building for those who like to dig in deeper and grow their strategic chops. No one controls the hand you’re dealt… but you can control what goes into your deck.
Calling All First-Time Deck Crafters!
We recognize this may be a review for some of the legends out there. Don’t worry, higher level classes are on the way!
This will not do! We want to take a quick opportunity to walk folks through the basics before we dive deeper into strategy.
If you haven’t played Legends Reborn much yet, but are ready to dive into deck building tactics, read on to learn how to craft your first decks!
Choosing Your Deck
From the main menu, you can select “Deck Editor” to hop right into refining your deck. You’ll notice that there are some preset selections in place. These are great starting points, and you should totally play around with these to get a feel for the style you like to play.
Once you’re ready to start your own destiny… choose to create a new deck and start lining up your strategy!
If you don’t have any cards, no need to worry! There are always time-limited cards available, and you can grab a free daily pack every day to pad your reserves!
Deck Building Basics
Every deck starts with a Hero. This is you… the player of the card game. Not only are you choosing whose skin you’re playing behind, but you’re choosing an overarching theme for your deck.
Each Hero Card comes with five cards. These are special Hero-specific actions that you can take at critical moments throughout the match. They’ll often be game-changing if played right, so choose a Hero based on what you think will combo well with the deck you’re hoping to build.
After you select a Hero, it’s on to Creatures. In every deck you get six Creatures. Their stats will determine how your deck plays, so pay attention to which roles work out better for you so you can adapt in the future.
After Creatures, you’ll choose six Action Cards for each Creature in your deck. These Action Cards will be selected from a pool based on that creature’s combat role. These Action Cards are what you will draw from each time your Creatures attack.
You want to choose Action Cards that synergize with each other, but also ones that complement several of your Creatures if possible. Remember, you never know what order you’ll draw cards in. You want as many opportunities to win as possible!
Refining and Improving
Once you’ve selected all your cards, name your brand new deck and you can get to playing! You can click “Summary” from the deck builder menu to get an overview of your deck that you just made.
This summary will show you all your Creatures and you Hero, but crucially will let you quickly reference your Mana Curve. Take note of this. If you ever find yourself with too many high mana cards to play, you may need to switch out for some lower cost cards. Likewise, if you find yourself with just too much mana and no cards, then you probably need to get some higher cost Actions in there.
Don’t be worried if you don’t have too many choices the first time. Time limited free cards swap out frequently, so you can experiment with a lot of different cards over time. As you play, you’ll unlock more cards and also be able to pick up that free pack every day. Before you know it, you’ll not only have a lot of cards to choose from, but know how to use them all!
As we said above, we’ll be back later with some more advanced strategy – but get in and give building a deck a try today!
If you’ve had experience with TCG deck building before, you know how engaging and fun the strategic customization can be. If you haven’t… well, you’re missing out! Luckily for you, Legends Reborn is free to hop into right now!
The tavern is packed, the table is set. The cards are shuffled and two legends of the tables stare each other down… the action is about to begin!
The tables of Tolkheim are open… will you take your seat and achieve greatness?

Good. Keep him guessing. This fool has mocked you for the last time and today you’ll show him what it means to face a true champion. This is Chance, and it’s your turn.

Knowing it’s about to become tougher to get your hands on powerful NFT Creatures, the team at Clash Craft Studios has benevolently decreed a final “Last Chance” Creature Pack sale.
This sale will run only for a limited time, and only while supplies last, so do not hesitate.
Each Creature Pack contains a single NFT Creature, ranging from Common to Ancient. Creatures within Premium Packs are guaranteed Rare or better.
