Your Legend and Chosen Champion
Your Legend and your Chosen Champion are a pair. Unforgiven (a Legend) and Yasuo are one.
- Legend: it sits in its own zone for the whole game and never leaves. The colours on it, its two Domains, set your Domain identity: your deck can only use cards in those Domains. A card with two Domains needs both of them to be yours.
- Chosen Champion: one champion unit that shares your Legend's champion name. It starts in your Champion Zone. You play it from there as if it were in your hand.
- An effect that says "from your hand" does not see the Champion Zone. Discarding a card from your hand can't pick your champion.
- Legend ability: text like "[2], [Exhaust]: ..." is something you choose to do. The part before the colon is the cost. [Exhaust] means turn the Legend sideways (exhaust it). It's used up until it's readied again, so you can't do it twice in a row.
- Unforgiven, a Calm/Chaos Legend with an exhaust ability.
- Yasuo, Remorseful: a Calm champion that could be the Chosen Champion.
Your Legend is Unforgiven (Calm and Chaos). Which card can go in your deck?
Your Legend is Calm and Chaos. A card has two Domains, Calm and Mind. Can your deck use it?
You exhaust your Legend for its ability. Can you do it again straight away?
A spell says "discard a card from your hand". Can you pick your Chosen Champion?
Two drills: first use your Legend's ability, then play your champion from the Champion Zone. Click a card or your Legend to use it.
