Stay tuned for the announcement of the broadcast team coming soon!

[h3]Announcing the coaches[/h3]

The four KARDS veterans that will be in the corner of our fresh recruits are:

Darkness - Darkness is one of the most decorated players in KARDS history having won multiple KARDS open tournaments and made it to the quarter finals of the 2020 World Championship.

Innocent Bubbles - Innocent Bubbles has been a staple of the KARDS competitive scene, both as a competitor and as a commentator. He has made multiple OCC appearances and streams regularly on Twitch.

Flake - Flake is relatively new to the KARDS scene but he entered it with a bang, grinding to make it into the Officer Club before jumping into casting KARDS tournaments, something he has a wealth of experience doing in other CCG’s.

Scout - Scout has been playing the game since Alpha and has streamed regularly. He specializes in insane combos and innovative decks that make his opponents shake in their boots with fear as they hit turn 12 and Scout still hasn’t dropped a unit.

Now, let's have a look at the first new Uprising cards

[h2]Spoiler season starts now: First new Uprising cards[/h2]

[h3]We kick off the spoiler season with the legendary INNISKILLING FUSILIERS[/h3]



The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers was an Irish regiment of the British Army and was active from 1881 to 1968. During WWII, the regiment was raised from 2 battalions to 5, the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 70th.

The 1st Battalion was stationed in British India when the war broke out and fought in the British colony of Burma against Japanese forces. The 2nd Battalion was part of the British Expeditionary Forces in France before being evacuated at Dunkirk in 1940. In 1942 the Battalion was sent to Madagascar, where it fought the Vichy French.

In 1943, the 2nd participated in the Invasion of Sicily, followed by the advance into Italy, as part of the British Eighth Army. The 5th Battalion served as a home defense formation in the UK, where it spent the war. The 6th Battalion was formed in 1940 and was later redesignated 38th (Irish) Infantry Brigade, which fought with the 6th Armoured Division in the Invasion of Sicily, Italy, and the Tunisian Campaign. The 70th Battalion was raised early in the war and was for young volunteers who had not reached the age to be conscripted. The 70th was disbanded in 1943 without seeing active service.

[h3]The second reveal of today is the Polish HURRICANE PL[/h3]



After the fall of Poland, the Polish Fighter Squadrons that were flying for RAF were initially issued Hurricanes.

During the Battle of Britain, the highest scoring Hurricane squadron was the No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron, with 126 claimed kills vs. 18 losses in 6 weeks, which also was the highest kill-to-loss ratio during the battle. For comparison, one British pilot was killed for every downed enemy aircraft, but the Poles downed 10.5 enemy aircraft per pilot death.

What gave the Poles the edge was that they were older and more experienced, plus they had learned to fly on more primitive planes in Poland, which helped them take advantage of the extra speed and maneuverability that the Hurricane gave them.

But above all, the Poles were super-vigilant in their cockpits, always alert and ready to react.

[h2]Last chance to get the Breakthrough: Catalyst set[/h2]

With the arrival of Uprising on September 9th, we will remove the Breakthrough: Catalyst bundle from the in-game store. If you want to grab the whole Catalyst bundle, do it now for real money or in-game gold.

The Catalyst cards themselves stay in the game, of course. They are part of the Breakthrough set; you can get them now and in the future by opening Breakthrough packs. You can also use wildcards to get your Catalyst cards.

Stay tuned for more as we approach the Uprising mini-release on September 9th. There are card reveals now every day!

Thrilling news from the KARDS front: A new mini-expansion is scheduled to arrive on September 9th! Enjoy a total of 53 brand-new cards for the Legions set with the upcoming Legions: Uprising update.

Legions: Uprising expands the Legions set with new cards similar to how Catalyst expanded the Breakthrough set earlier this year. The new cards' primary focus is developing and deepening the successful Legions theme that laid the foundation for gameplay, such as Intel and Exile.

Each of the five major nations will be reinforced with 3 new unique cards 1 Elite, 1 Special, 1 Standard card. As the newly introduced ally in the Legions set, Poland will see 6 new unique cards with 2 Specials, 2 Limiteds, and 2 Standards. This moves closer to the other ally nations, as well as, expanding on their collection of Exile cards.
