The road to Legions is spiced with reveals and exciting info about the new game mechanics. New cards are revealed almost every day now, either by the community or directly by the KARDS dev team.

In this article, we will present the first card reveal and also keep track of following reveals. We recommend bookmarking this article and to check it regularly.

Also subscribe to the channels listed below to stay up to date and never miss any reveals, especially KARDS Facebook, KARDS YouTube, and Twitter.


[h2]Spoiler season starts now: First Legions card reveal[/h2]

We kick off the spoiler season with the iconic M3 Grant medium tank!



The M3 GRANT is a British tank of standard rarity and 4 deployment cost. It comes with Guard, 2 attack, and 5 defense. When your HQ has 25 HP or more, it will get +2+2 on deployment.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]

Produced by the US, the M3 was delivered to ally nations. It saw first action by the British in North Africa. The Soviet Union also received large numbers of M3s as part of the Lend-Lease program.

While this unit is quite solid in itself, it truly shines with its potential +2+2 buff. This connects very well to its historical role - if the situation was right, the M3 was an adversary not to be taken lightly!

[h3][h3]Potential use and synergies[/h3][/h3]

The M3 is an excellent addition to Commonwealth decks. With a bit of defense increase on your HQ in the early game, it can be a powerful Guard and even becomes a threat with a 4/7 body for your enemy. M3 may also be beneficial in Mobilization decks, as it can provide Guard to Mobilization units and deals with the threat in the enemy support line in the same turn.

What are your thoughts about the M3? Let us know in the comments and on Discord.

[h2]More card reveals[/h2]

The next card reveal is the German 136. Gebirgsjäger


The 136. Gebirgsjäger is a German standard card that costs 3 Kredits to deploy and 1 Kredit to operate. It has 4 attack, 3 defense, and as a unique ability, the Alpine keyword.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]
The 136. Gebirgsjäger Regiment had its roots in the Tyrol Jäger-Regiment of the Austrian Army. It soon saw action in Poland in September 1939 and then got assigned to tasks in Scandinavia where it also engaged in static warfare. At the end of the war, it got withdrawn back onto the continent.
The Gebirgsjäger have the Alpine keyword based on their origin from Tyrol. When an Alpine unit is deployed or added, it gets +1+1 for each other Alpine unit you control.

[h3]Potential use and synergies[/h3]
As a low-cost Alpine unit, it provides more options for Alpine aggro decks. There is a possibility of forming more variations of Alpine decks with Germany and even Soviet or Japan.

What do you think about this unit?

[h2]Card reveal May 5th: 2B2C Helldiver[/h2]


The SB2C Helldiver is a US 2K Bomber with 2K operating cost, base stats of 2 attack, and 2 defense. The Helldiver has a unique ability. "When you gain an extra Kredit slot, add a copy of this unit to your hand."

[h3]Historical context[/h3]
The Curtiss SB2C Helldiver was an American carrier-based dive bomber in the United States Navy service in the Pacific theater during WWII. Its initial poor performance led to many accidents, instantly causing the crew to dislike the aircraft, so much that it earned the nickname "The Beast" and "Son of a bitch 2nd class". However, in 1944 the SB2C-3 variant introduced significant upgrades boosting this bomber's role at the end of the fight in the Pacific theater.

The SB2C Helldiver has the unique ability to add another copy of itself to the player's hand when they gain an extra credit slot. Together with the initial 2K deployment cost, this ability reflects the bombers' initial struggle on the battlefield and its subsequent significant improvements.

[h3]Potential use and synergies[/h3]
The Helldiver is a natural fit in the ramp strategy that characterizes one of the core playstyles the US has to offer. Establishing a Helldiver early and then proceeding to ramp might just help you get the card advantage needed to secure victory!

What uses do you see for this new bomber?

[h2]Card reveal May 6th: Ki-43-IIb Otsu[/h2]


The Ki-43-IIb Otsu is a Japanese 3K fighter unit with a 2K operating cost, 3 attack, and 3 defense. It also gets a +2 attack on your turn if the enemy controls no air units, showing the importance of air dominance for the card.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]
The Ki-43-IIb Otsu was a variant of the Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa, a Japanese fighter aircraft in service of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force between 1941 and 1945. Despite early flaws, it gained the upper hand in the battle for the skies early on and found a lot of success from a superior position, but later they struggled against the newer Allied aircraft such as the Hellcat, P-51 Mustang, and the F4U Corsair.

[h3]Strategic impact and potential gameplay[/h3]
The Ki-43-IIb Otsu provides solid base stats of 3 Attack and 3 Defense, but its power shines if your opponent makes the mistake of not bringing enough flying firepower to the fight. With no enemy air units, onboard the Ki-43-IIb Otsu wields a formidable 5 attack that can make light work of the enemy forces and HQ.

Japanese air decks have been popular for a while, primarily relying on quick burst attacks to obliterate the opposing HQ within a few turns. With the addition of the Ki-43, there are more rewards for establishing aerial supremacy early and maintaining it throughout the battle.

[h2]Card reveal May 7th: 2nd Marines Battalion[/h2]


The 2nd Marines Battalion is a 2K infantry unit with a 0K operation cost, the blitz keyword, and the healthy stat line of 2 attack and 4 defense. They do, however, come with a twist. Combat damage against this unit is doubled, so suffering 2 damage will cause the unit to take 4 damage and be off the field.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]
The Red Army Marines performed several important landings during WWII and contributed to the defense of Odessa, Moscow, Leningrad, Sevastopol, Stalingrad, Novorossiysk, and Kerch. The 2nd Battalion of the 2d Marine Regiment is best known for its participation in the Yevpatoria assault in 1942, which was an amphibious assault on Yevpatoria in Crimea where the aim was to divert German troops attacking Sevastopol and the Kerch peninsula. An uprising in Yevpatoria during the battle resulted in many citizens joining the fight against the Germans. The operation was a success since it managed to distract the German forces from Sevastopol, but it came at a very high cost. Of the 700 marines participating in the battle, almost all lost their lives. The few remaining survivors, along with 3000 civilians, were taken prisoner by the Germans and executed.

[h3]Strategic impact and potential gameplay[/h3]
Weak in combat due to taking double damage, the 2nd Marines aren't likely to stick around for long on the battlefield, but with 0K operation cost, they can be counted on to do their job even though it comes with the ultimate price. Like during battle, the 2nd Marines Battalion will lay everything on the line to fight for victory.

The 2nd Marines offer a rare cheap blitz unit for the Soviets. Furthermore, as infantry, this unit finds a good home in soviet token decks, securing the frontline or defending against early aggression.


[h2]Card reveal May 8th: 1st Gurkha Rifles [/h2]


The 1st Gurkha Rifles is a Special British 2K Infantry unit with Fury ability. They come with the base stats of 1 attack and 4 defense. While a 1 attack unit with Fury might not sound scary, the 1st Gurkha Rifles genuinely shine when they make good use of their deployment effect "Gets +1 attack for each order you have given this turn."

[h3]Historical context[/h3]
The 1st Gurkha Rifles, also known as The Malaun Regiment, was first formed in 1815 and had since then participated in many conflicts, including WWI and WWII, and is today a regiment of the Indian Army.

During WWII, the regiment grew from 2 to 5 battalions which all participated in fierce fighting against the Japanese forces, mainly in Malaya and Burma. The Gorkhas have a reputation for military valor and skill. They are often associated with the kukri, a forward-curved machete used both as a melee weapon or a cutting tool.

[h3]Strategic impact and gameplay[/h3]
The 1st Gurkha rifles fit in well with the British collection of high HP and low attack units. But it can become a formidable foe when used in combination with the myriad of low-cost British orders. Who knows, we might see the Ghurka Rifles as an alternative win condition in commando decks or even unlock a whole new British playstyle.

The 1st Gurkha Rifles can be used in Naval Support decks, where a good defense unit can turn into a high-damage one. It may also be seen in Commando decks. With a lot of orders, this unit can be buffed to deal some severe damage with Fury.

[h2]Card reveal May 9th: B7A2 Ryusei[/h2]

The B7A2 Ryusei is a 2K Japanese bomber unit of limited rarity with Blitz ability. It has 2 attack and 1 defense. With a 1K operation cost it can be established and operated early on, but has the limitation that it cannot attack the enemy HQ.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]
The Aichi B7A2 Ryusei (Ryusei means "Shooting Star" in Japanese) was a Japanese carrier-borne torpedo dive bomber that was produced during WWII for the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service. The B7A Ryusei was a big and powerful aircraft and was intended to be used on a new type of carrier (Taihō-class) which could handle larger aircraft.

However, once the B7A entered production and was ready for service in 1944, only one carrier was modern enough to handle this aircraft, the Taihō. To worsen the situation, the Taihō was sunk during the Battle of Philippine Sea, before any of the B7A’s embarked. After this, some of the B7A’s operated from land, but saw limited service until the war ended in 1945. A total of 105 B7A2 Ryusei were produced, plus a handful of other variants.

[h3]Strategic impact and gameplay[/h3]
The B7A2 Ryusei can be extremely helpful in removing small units in early game. It can be added into mid range decks to strengthen the ability of surviving against aggro decks, or it may also be a part of aggro decks as well.

Do we see a new Japan Air archetype on the horizon?

[h2]Card reveal May 10th: JU 88 G6[/h2]


The JU 88 G6 is a 5K Special German Fighter unit with an already threatening stat line of 4 attack and 6 defense. It operates for 2K and comes with a particular rule: "When this unit destroys a unit, add a copy of the destroyed unit to your hand." This allows you to turn your opponent's greatest strengths against them.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]
The Junkers Ju 88 was a German aircraft used by the Luftwaffe in various roles during WWII. It served as a bomber, dive bomber, torpedo bomber, night fighter, heavy fighter, and reconnaissance aircraft. The Ju 88 G6 variant served as a night fighter and was fitted with an MHz frequency radar. Some of them were equipped with "Schräge Musik," which was slang for upwards firing autocannons or machine guns used against bombers. A total of 15,183 Junkers Ju were built throughout the war, including many variants.

[h3]Strategic impact and gameplay[/h3]
The JU 88 G6 joins the line of 5K German Fighters that are formidable foes on the battlefield. The JU 88 G6 has a robust body and a powerful effect that will work well in German control decks, helping the player gain card advantage by stealing different units. This is a nod to the impressive diversity of roles the JU 88 G6 assumed during the war.


[h2]Card reveal May 11th: RED DAWN[/h2]

Red Dawn is a Soviet 1K order that allows you to choose between dealing 3 damage to a unit and your own HQ or to add a "From The People" order to your hand.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]
The red flag is often associated with left-wing politics, and which symbolizes socialism, dates back to the French Revolution in the 18th century. The red flag of the Soviet Union, also known as The Red Banner or Hammer & Sickle, first emerged during the Russian Revolution. The red color symbolizes the workers that have died in their struggle against Capitalism.

[h3]Strategic impact and gameplay[/h3]
This order can be highly effective when combined with selecting Soviet units that are buffed when your HQ takes damage. This playstyle needs to be balanced with plenty of healing.

The flexibility of Red Dawn being able to be used without taking damage is extremely useful if you find yourself low on health but high on kredits and need to adapt on the fly.

[h2]Card reveal May 12th: PB4Y-2 PRIVATEER[/h2]


The PB4Y-2 Privateer is a Special US 5K Bomber unit with Heavy Armor 1 and a healthy stat line of 4 attack and 4 defense. It is however even tougher than it looks due to it's unique ability where it costs the enemy +2 kredits to target or attack the unit making it deceptively durable.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]

The Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer was an American patrol bomber that was introduced in 1943 and used by the US Navy during WWII. The Privateer flew its first missions in 1944 in the Pacific Theater and took on a variety of roles such as reconnaissance, search and rescue, anti-shipping, electronic countermeasures and communication rely. Its armament included 12 M2 Browning machine guns and it could carry up to 5800 kg of bombs, mines, or torpedoes. A total of 739 Priveteers were built, including a few variants that were produced after the war.

[h3]Strategic impact and gameplay[/h3]

This amazing bomber fits any midrange and control deck. It is a perfect bridge for ramp decks and holds the battlefield to your advantage until larger units are deployed. The +2 kredit effect even applies to the deployment cost if your enemy tries to target it with a unit deployment effect. As a tough bomber, it will also be a strong addition to Britain/USA air decks.


[h2]Card reveal May 12th: 1st TEXAS INFANTRY[/h2]


The 1st TEXAS INFANTRY is a US card of limited rarity with 3 deployment and 2 operation costs. It comes with 1/1 attack & defense, which appears to be relatively weak. However, this infantry doubles its attack and defense each time you gain an extra kredit slot!

[h3]Historical context[/h3]

The 1st Texas Infantry, officially known as 141st Infantry Regiment, is a regiment of the US Army and traces its origin back to the Texas Revolution in 1836. During WWII, the regiment was assigned to the 36th Infantry Division of the US Army, which fought several battles and campaigns on the Western Front. The 1st Texas Infantry was often literally first. Among the first American troops to land in Europe, among the first Allied troops to enter Rome, the first infantry regiment to land on the coast of Southern France, and the first troops of the 36th Division to enter Germany.

[h3]Strategic impact and gameplay[/h3]

Ramp decks are well known with large units, like B-17 and Pershing. What would happen if an infantry unit like this is blended with them? The double effect will turn this unit into a colossal monster while you are increasing the kredit slots. If your enemy can't or doesn't take care of this unit, it can easily tear apart anything.

[h2]Card reveal May 13th: KIKKA[/h2]


The KIKKA Japanese Elite Fighter comes with 7K deployment and 3K operation cost. It brings a strong 6/5 attack/defense to the battlefield and Blitz ability. When the KIKKA gets destroyed, you shuffle 4 Kamikaze cards into your deck.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]

The Nakajima Kikka, aka Kōkoku Nigō Heiki, was the first Japanese jet aircraft. It was developed late in the war for the Imperial Japanese Navy and intended for ground attacks and anti-shipping. The first flight tests took place in August 1945, and overall it performed well, but before it could ever be used in frontline service, the Japanese had surrendered to the Allies.

The idea to develop the Kikka came after the Japanese military attaché in Germany witnessed the trials of the Messerschmitt Me 262 in 1942, so it’s no coincidence that the design is similar.

[h2]Card reveal May 13th: 125th RIFLE REGIMENT[/h2]


The 125th RIFLE REGIMENT is a Soviet unit of Special rarity. It has 4 deployment and 1 operation cost. The 125th Rifles come with 3/4 attack/defense and Guard. Additionally, it has the special ability that the enemy HQ gets damaged by 1 each time the enemy draws a card.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]

The 125th Rifle Regiment was part of the 2nd formation of the 6th Rifle Division of the Red Army. The division fought numerous battles and campaigns on the Eastern Front, including Operation Barbarossa, 3rd Battle of Kharkov, Battle of Debrecen and finally the Soviet invasion of Manchuria.

The division took part in the liberation of Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia from German occupation and received several honorifics for its service, including the Order of the Red Banner. The 6th Rifle Division was disbanded in the fall 1945.

[h2]Card reveal May 14th: Spitfire Mk V PL[/h2]



The Supermarine Spitfire was a British fighter aircraft that was used in WWII and the only fighter that was in service from the start of the war in 1939 and until it ended in 1945. The Mk V variant came in three versions and had several sub-variants, and was produced in 1941. It was equipped with a Merlin 45 series engine and had several improvements that increased the aircraft maneuverability. Several Spitfire Mk V variants were flown by the Polish fighter squadrons in the RAF, most famously by Squadrons No. 303 and No. 302 who had a distinguished combat record and received several battle honours.

Again being inspired by its historical counterpart, you can use this Spitfire in any deck that has Britain as main or ally nation - additional to its use in decks with Poland as ally, of course. That is the power of the Exile keyword.

[h2]Card reveal May 14th: T-34 76 PL[/h2]



The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank that was produced and used during WWII by the Red Army and their Allies. Quite a few T-34 tanks were provided to the armored formations of the Polish Armed Forces in the East. For example, the 1st Polish Army, aka Berling’s Army, which was formed in 1944 was equipped with Soviet armored vehicles T-34’s. This unit fought many hard battles which ended with the capture of Berlin in May 1945.

Following the historical origins of the T-34 76 PL, thanks to the Exile keyword, you can use this tank in any deck that has Soviet as main or ally nation - additional to its use in decks with Poland as ally, of course.


[h2]Card reveal May 15th: 4e Brigade[/h2]


The 4e Brigade is a 3K French Infantry unit of the standard rarity. It comes with 2 attack and 5 defense. The unit operates for 1K and truly shines when it makes full use of it's deployment effect of gaining +1 attack for every non-french unit the player controls on the board.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]

The 4th Brigade was a unit of the 1st Free French Division which was part of the Free French Forces (FFL) during WWII. The division was one of the first units to join FFL after the fall of France and it consisted of personnel from both France and its colonies. The 1st Division participated in numerous battles and campaigns against the Axis forces, mostly in Africa, Middle East, Italy and France and was one of the most decorated French divisions of WWII.

[h2]Card reveal May 15th: Il-2M PL [/h2]


The Il-2M PL is a Polish Bomber of limited rarity with 4 deployment and 2 operation costs. It comes with 3/3 attack/defense and Heavy Armor 1. Its Exile keyword allows this bomber to be used in decks with Soviet cards. The special effect of the Il-2 gives a friendly unit with heavy armor +1+1 when it survives combat.

[h3]Historical context[/h3]
The Ilyushin Il-2, also known as Shturmovik, was a Soviet ground-attack aircraft that was produced in large numbers from 1941 to 1945 and used extensively during WWII. The aircraft was nicknamed “The Flying Tank” or “Flying Infantryman” due to its thick armor and firepower that could neutralize almost any ground target. The Air Force of the Polish Army was a formation that was formed in the Soviet Union in 1943 and served as part of the Polish Armed Forces in the East. Hundreds of Ilyushin Il-2’s were issued to the Polish units which were mainly used for ground attack missions, but also for reconnaissance missions and sometimes air-to-air combat.
