As always, we invite you to join our Discord, where you can join our ever-growing community, express what's on your mind and help us create the best possible card game!

In the world of Issilith there are forces that aspire to preserve, and others that strive to subdue.

The former are represented in-game by Drakkorith faction.

On the other side are forces that some may consider sinister. They include playable factions Oblivion and Vestige.

Two of the upcoming factions can be found on this artwork, we will announce more details about them soon.

Can you recognize which ones are still not in-game, and maybe guess their names?
(Hint: we've already mentioned them before)

Our new patch brought certain updates regarding in-game battlegrounds!



Your previously selected battleground is now remembered by the game.
Also, the battleground you selected is now always displayed for you locally in-game, which means that your opponents’ choice of battleground does not interfere with your choice. Both players are shown the battleground that they selected.

Furthermore, default selection for favorite battleground is now ‘’random’’, meaning you can adjust your favorite battleground to ‘’random’' as well, or pick the one you like the most.

Below you can check out battlegrounds currently available in the game, which one is your favorite?
