I agree that it's a pain to get the lands. I always feel like I'm getting a raw deal when I have to use Wildcards to craft them. There's always some other key card for a deck that I'd rather be making.
December’s ranked play season is ending – not to mention the year itself – and it’s time to introduce the next monthly reward card coming to The Elder Scrolls: Legends this month: Ayleid Guardian!
We’re returning to the Scout class with this month’s card! Ayleid Guardian combines Agility and Endurance attributes for a major payoff in Legends’ late game. Thankfully, weathering an opponent’s attack is the Scout class’ specialty. (That, and quickly ramping up their maximum magicka!)
Ayleid Guardian immediately creates a copy of itself in the other lane when summoned – netting a player 16/16’s worth of stats for eleven magicka! That alone is a sweet deal, but the Guardian’s benefits get even better.
Both 8/8 Guardians in play feature the Guard keyword, so your opponent won’t be able to just swing past them and close the game themselves. The Guardians are also immune to Lethal, so quickly removing them with a pesky Territorial Viper or Fighters Guild Recruit isn’t and option! Simply put, you opponent needs serious removal to deal with Ayleid Guardian’s powerhouse defense.
What are you waiting for? Head into the ranked ladder today to earn your Ayleid Guardian! 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!
There has been no confirmation on the exact date for closed beta to start. The only official news is sometime during Q1 (January, February, OR March).
The only other recent hint was from one of the Associate QA Managers, Riot Polybius, which leads me to believe that we will hear something in January. If that happens I would not expect the launch to be very far behind.
I can confirm that you get the amount of cards stated, depending on the day (i.e. on the third day you get 3 premium Humbug Swarm and on the fifth day you get 5 premium Amber Ring). Any additional cards are just going to be free Shiftstone.
As a special holiday gift to our players, the Twelve Days of Dropsmas will be starting on Christmas 12/25/2019 and running for twelve days until 1/5/20! During the Twelve Days of Dropsmas Draft tickets and card packs from sets 1-6 will drop more often! Every day, starting on Christmas and continuing for twelve days, we will drop that day’s special card in addition to your normal Twitch drops! Make sure to tune in to your favorite Eternal streamer every day on Twitch to earn those sweet rewards!

2019 is ending, and what better way to end the year with a band than with a Grand Melee? Build your strongest deck and take on some of the fiercest competition The Elder Scrolls: Legends has to offer!
Grand Melee: December 27 - 30
There are no special deckbuilding rules for the Grand Melee. Players battle with their best constructed decks available until they achieve either nine wins or three losses. Entry into the Grand Melee costs six (6) Event Tickets or 1,000 Gold, up to three maximum runs allowed.
For this Grand Melee, all participants will recieve non-premium Gray Fox card back. This card back will be awarded to all entrants regardless of win count.
The top 1,000 players on the leaderboard at the end of the event will also receive a bonus reward: a premium Cadwell card back!
The Grand Melee begins Friday, December 27 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, December 30. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!
Excellent article, @FearGralex! I tried out Deathrattle Rogue last week and it's certainly a strong deck. I had a game where I drew BOTH Anubisath Warbringer after mulligan, so you can always hope for that to happen to your opponent! =)

Yeah, I was in the middle of doing an Eternal post at the same time and screwed up. Fixed! =)
I used a budget B/W deck. It wasn't the smoothest sailing, but in the end it got the job done.

With the month ending it's time to get the new TESL reward card for players.
There has been no confirmation on the exact date for closed beta to start. The only official news is sometime during Q1 (January, February, OR March).

I approve.
I can confirm that you get the amount of cards stated, depending on the day (i.e. on the third day you get 3 premium Humbug Swarm and on the fifth day you get 5 premium Amber Ring). Any additional cards are just going to be free Shiftstone.
Once the game is available again I plan on having some guides.
The new month-long Eternal league starts in just a few days.
As a bonus to players they've increased certain Eternal Twitch drops for a limited time.
The next Gauntlet event starts tomorrow (12/27).
Happy holidays, everyone! We're looking forward to an exciting new year at Out of Cards and are thrilled to have you be a part of it!
Yes. Indestructible cards ignore "destroy" effects, but can still be exiled, bounced, put back in the deck, etc.
Inoright!
I don't think I could love this more! <3
Thanks for posting the codes again, Nirast!

New Eternal Event starting Christmas Day 12/25.
Here's a cool video with composer, Ramin Djawadi, talking about the creation of music for the new Theros: Beyond Death trailer.
It's a great game with a lot of potential for sure.
