Congratulations to Aaron Gertler (littlebeep) for winning the DreamHack Anaheim 2020 Arena Open over the weekend! He took home $30,000 (half of which he's donating to charity) and a ticket to the Mythic Championship in May. The tournament meta was primarily Azorious Control, Jeskai Fires, and Mono Red Aggro.

Here's the newest card reward for ranked play in TESL this month!

Quote From Bethesda ~ Christian Van Hoose

As the ranked play season ends, it’s time to reveal the monthly reward card for February. For the first time in a while, a new support card is coming to Legends: Skyshard!

Skyshard is an ongoing support in the Endurance attribute with a cost of three magicka. Unlike many ongoing supports, which stay on the board after they’re played, Skyshard also comes with a Summon effect. Playing Skyshard immediately draws a random creature from your deck – as well as kicks in the card’s ongoing effect.

As long as Skyshard’s in play, creatures you draw gain a +2/+2 buff…but also cost two additional magicka to summon. A double-edged sword, but still a powerful one in the right deck – for example, one that cares a lot more about its creatures’ stats than their cost.

In a deck focused on magicka ramp, you’ll be able to reap the benefits of Skyshard in the late game, as you’ll have more than enough magicka to work with by that point. Cards that make your creatures battle other creatures, like Squish the Wimpy and Unstoppable Rage, also benefit from the stat increase. Additionally, a little extra power and health can make drawing weaker early game creatures more useful later on!

No matter how you plan to make use of Skyshard, make sure you head into the ranked ladder today to earn your copies! As with all our monthly reward cards, reaching rank 9 in our ranked ladder by the end of the month will award you one copy, rank 5 will earn you the second and if you finish rank 1 or higher you’ll get a full playset. In addition, if you’re able to finish in the top 1,000 Legend ranks, your playset will be premium!

Congratulations to this weekend's winner of the ECQ for Echoes of Eternity, Twanbon! If you'd like to try out his deck you can copy the code from the spoiler below.

There's a new promo card up for grabs for your first PVP win each day. It's available until 3/2, so act fast!

Lastlight Judgement Promo Quest

• The Lastlight Judgement promo quest begins today and will run until Monday, 3/2.
• During the quest period, your first PvP win of the day will reward you with a copy of Lastlight Judgement.
• Once the promo period is over, you’ll be able to craft Lastlight Judgement using Shiftstone as normal.
• The Eloz, Nightmare General premium avatar will be available in the store for 300 Gems for a limited time.
• A theme deck bundle that includes the avatar and 4 premium copies of the promo will also be available in the Store for 500 Gems for a limited time!

Cool card ideas floating around here. Nice job all!

Not quite that late here. You could always save it until next weekend and be like "Wow! I have an entire weekend to try this out!".

I loved the game, but when you "go into maintenance mode" it doesn't do your player base any favors as most people see it as essentially a dead game.

This weekend starts a new Gauntlet event for TESL.

Quote From Bethesda ~ Parker Wilhelm

We’re shaking the Field Lane up once again in The Elder Scrolls: Legends’ latest event! Get ready for the Mage Tower Gauntlet!

Mage Tower Gauntlet: February 21 – February 24

For this event, the standard Field Lane has been transformed into the Mage Tower Lane! Whenever you play an action, a random creature of the same cost will be summoned into the Mage Tower Lane. What sort of allies will you summon? Only one way to find out!

Each time players complete a run of this weekend’s event, they will also receive a premium alternate copy of Imperial Reinforcements!

Each run through the Mage Tower Gauntlet costs three Event Tickets or 500 Gold for each run, up to three maximum runs allowed. Players will also rank up on the leaderboards with each run - if you wind up a top-ranking player, you could receive bonus rewards!

The Mage Tower Gauntlet begins Friday, February 21 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, February 24. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!

Don't forget there's another ECQ this weekend!

Get ready for the latest set to shake up competitive play in ECQ: Echoes of Eternity!

I know it's a build he was working on and will likely be revamped today after slight changes due to the patch this week.

It doesn't, but nice try! ;)

They are physical cards. They include a promo-code to redeem a special sleeve for MTG Arena.

A new patch for Mythgard dropped today. It primarily fixes bugs and implements a Valentine's Day event.

Spring Cleaning

Next Monday, February 17, we’ll be doing some spring cleaning and removing older theme decks from the in-game store.

Ten theme decks will remain available for purchase (the decks from Echoes of Eternity and Flame of Xulta), and all of the non-Expedition-legal theme decks will be removed from the store.

This change should make it easier for players to find theme decks relevant to them, and for new players to quickly jump into Expedition play.

Look for future theme deck store updates as new content releases, and grab your bundle to begin exploring the new cards from Echoes of Eternity!

The upcoming TESL Gauntlet will start tomorrow and run through February 17.

Quote From Bethesda ~ Parker Wilhelm

The pauper gets a princely promotion in The Elder Scrolls: Legends’ latest event, the Noble Gauntlet!

Noble Gauntlet: February 14 – February 17
Like the commons-only Pauper Gauntlet, a Noble deck is restricted by rarity. In this case, only Common and Rare cards are allowed. Don’t let your guard down, though! A Noble deck can still put up some impressive power without the help of any Epic or Legendary cards.

Once you’ve constructed a deck, square off with opponents until you reach nine wins or three losses, whichever comes first! Each run through the Noble Gauntlet costs one Event Ticket or 150 Gold, with up to three maximum runs allowed.

The Noble Gauntlet begins Friday, February 14 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, February 17. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!

Oh, don't worry. That's exactly what happened. =)

Yep. It's a good one!

He's...not in charge.

Yeah, his name is not the best with him being involved in card games. Try searching "control" on YouTube and all you find are "Control Decks for X". So it's pretty difficult to even find his channel.

Previous patch notes have released at 2:00pm ET, but I can't confirm that will always be consistent.
