In a game of Elestrals, your Spirit cards are your most important resource: they are your health, and also the fuel that you use when playing cards and attacking your opponent! Knowing when to use your Spirits and when to save them is a key strategy.

There are eight types of Spirits. Most decks have a mix of different types, and the Elestrals and Runes that you Cast will often need specific Spirits or even combinations of them!

Spirits start the game in your Spirit Deck. You choose Spirits to move to the field whenever you Cast an Elestral or Rune card, or to your Underworld when you Expend them - usually in battle. Attacking your opponent will make them Expend Spirits. If they run out and have to Expend again, then you win!

Board Overview

Spirits

Your Elestrals defend your Spirits from your opponent, and let you attack them back! Having strong Elestrals on your field is the key to victory. Each one has its own powerful effect, as well as Attack and Defense stats that determine how they do in battle.

An Elestral’s Enchantment Cost shows how many Spirits it needs! If your Elestral ever has fewer Spirits than this, it’s sent to the Underworld. If it has the right number of Spirits but they’re the wrong Element, then it’s Misenchanted; it stays on the field and can still use its Attack and Defense in battles, but it can’t use any of its effects.

An Elestral’s effect is beneath its stats. Some effects start with “when” and describe an event; those activate each time that event happens, even several times a turn! Other effects start with “you can”; those can be activated once on each of your turns. A few effects don’t start with either, they just declare something that’s true. Those are always working as long as the Elestral is Enchanted correctly!

Elestrals

Your Runes unleash magic that can strengthen your Elestrals, weaken others, draw cards, or even directly damage your opponent! Each has an Enchantment Cost just like Elestrals do. Some Runes use the rainbow symbol; they can be cast using any of the Spirits.

There are five types of Runes: Invoke and Counter Runes are Instant, and Artifact, Divine, and Stadium Runes are Continuous.

**Instant** Runes have a powerful effect on the game immediately when you Cast them, and then they’re destroyed along with the Spirits Enchanting them. Counter Runes are unique; they have to be Set facedown for a turn, but after that, you can Cast them on either player’s turn!

**Continuous** Runes stick around after you Cast them until they’re destroyed or they don’t have enough Spirits Enchanting them. Artifacts are also destroyed if the Elestral they’re Empowering leaves the field for any reason. Artifact Runes strengthen one of your Elestrals; Divine Runes let you Disenchant Spirits to channel the Gods’ powers; and a Stadium Rune changes the field for you and your opponent.

Runes

Each player’s field is broken up into specific zones. At the start of a game, your Spirit Deck and Main Deck are put in the bottom corners of your field. The rest of the field starts out empty. Here’s what that looks like:

In the top left of your field there’s a Stadium slot, where your **Stadium** Rune goes when you Cast one! Only one Stadium can exist at a time; if either player Casts a Stadium when there’s already one Enchanted, it gets destroyed so the new one can enter the field.

In the top right of your field is your **Underworld**; that’s where any cards that you discard or destroy get sent, in a face-up pile. You can look through this pile and ask to look through your opponent’s any time you want.

Between those there are four slots in your **Elestral Row**! Any Elestrals that you play go there, along with the Spirits Enchanting them. If all four slots are filled on your field then you are allowed to Ascend an Elestral, but not Cast any new ones.

Your **Spirit Deck** goes into the bottom left of your field, and your **Main Deck** goes in the bottom right. Your Main Deck gets shuffled at the start of the game, and also gets shuffled any time that you Search it for a card. Your Spirit Deck isn’t shuffled; you look through it any time you Cast a card or Expend Spirits, or whenever you want!

Between them are the four slots in your **Rune Row**! Any Runes (except Stadiums) that you Set or Cast go there, along with the Spirits Enchanting them. If all four slots are filled then the only way to Cast more is with an Invoke Rune - they’re allowed to take Spirits from an Enchanted Rune and replace it.

And last, there’s your **hand**, which doesn’t have a place on the field - you hold it! There’s no limit to cards in your hand, but still, be careful not to draw too many... You lose the game if your Main Deck runs out of cards and you have to draw again!

Zones

To get started, each player has to have:

1. A Spirit deck with exactly 20 Spirits in it. You can mix-and-match different Spirits or play as many of the same one as you like!
2. A Main deck with exactly 40 cards in it. This is where your Runes and Elestrals go; you can only have up to three copies of any single card, so you need some variety.

And that’s it! You’re allowed to look through your own Spirit Deck any time you like, and you can ask your opponent how many cards are left in their Spirit Deck. But you **never\*** get to look through your opponent’s decks, so you won’t know exactly which Spirits they have left. Once your Main Deck is shuffled at the start of a game you can’t look through it anymore unless a card tells you.

*\* Some cards have stats or effects based on how many of a particular Spirit you have. Reveal those Spirits to your opponent so they can confirm the number, but they still don’t get to look through your deck.*

Once both players have their Spirit decks and Main decks ready:

1. Pick one player at random to decide who plays the first turn. If you play several games in a row, the player who lost last game decides
2. Set your Spirit Deck face-down, left of your field.
3. Shuffle your Main deck and set it face-down, right of your field.
4. Both players draw five cards from their Main Deck.
5. If either player wants to mulligan, they can! To mulligan a player Expends\* 2 Spirits, then shuffles their hand into their deck and draws a new hand of five cards. Players can do this any number of times.
6. The first turn begins! That player skips their Draw Phase and their Battle Phase on the first turn only, however, they can still Cast Runes and Elestrals. The game ends when a player’s Main Deck is empty and they have to draw a card, or their Spirit Deck is empty and they have to Expend a Spirit. If either happens then their opponent wins!

*\* To “Expend” a Spirit, choose any Spirit from your Spirit Deck and send it to your Underworld.*

Playing Elestrals

Beginning a Game

Each turn is broken into four Phases. Some Rune or Elestral Effects can only activate in certain Phases; if an effect doesn’t say when to use it, then it can only be used in the Main Phase.

| Phase | Action |
| ----- | ------ |
| **Draw** | <ul><li>Draw a card from your Main Deck.</li></ul>***\* Skip this on the first turn of the game.*** |
| **Main** | In any order: <ul><li>Cast, Ascend, or Enchant an Elestral, OR Expend a Spirit to draw a card (once per turn).</li><li>Cast or Set Runes *(as many times as you want)*.</li><li>Change an Elestral’s position *(once per Elestral on your field)*.</li></ul> |
| **Battle** | <ul><li>Each of your Elestrals can attack, once per turn.</li></ul>***\* Skip this on the very first turn of the game.*** |
| **End** | <ul><li>Activate any effects that happen “during the End Phase”.</li><li>Once the End Phase ends and your opponents turn begins, any effects that last "until the next turn" or "until the End Phase" stop being applied.</li></ul> |
 
Learn more about the keywords in Elestrals TCG via the [**Glossary**](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__2e627311-ece5-433c-988a-62524aeb9fe5).

Phases

1. First, draw a card from your Main Deck. *(If you can’t draw a card because your deck is empty, then your opponent wins!)*
2. Next, if a Rune or Elestral on your field has an effect “during your Draw Phase”, you can activate it. You can also Cast Counter Runes now (unless they work “when” something happens). Your opponent can activate effects or Cast Counter Runes at this time, too.
3. When there isn’t an active chain and neither player wants to begin a new one, the Main Phase begins.

Draw Phase

During your Main Phase you can do these actions in any order as long as there isn’t an active chain. You can skip any actions you don’t want to do or
can’t do.

* Spend one Spirit *(once per turn)*. Pick one of these actions: Normal Cast an Elestral; OR Normal Ascend an Elestral; OR Enchant a Spirit to an Elestral; OR Expend a Spirit and draw a card.
* Set a Rune that isn’t a Stadium face-down in your Rune Row *(as many times as you want)*.
* Change one of your Elestrals from Attack or Defense Position to the opposite *(each Elestral can change once if it wasn’t cast this turn, and you can change as many of them as you want)*.
* Cast a Rune from your Hand or a Rune that you Set before this turn started *(as many times as you want)*.
* Activate your Rune or Elestral effects *(as many as you want)*.

To **Normal Cast** an Elestral, follow these steps:

1. Reveal a Spirit from your Spirit Deck.
2. Reveal the Elestral in your hand that you’re Casting, and pick Attack or Defense Position. *(You can’t Normal Cast an Elestral that requires more than 1 Spirit!)*
3. Put that Spirit and that Elestral into an empty slot in your Elestral Row. If it’s in Attack Position it will be vertical, facing you; if it’s in Defense Position it will be sideways.
4. Either player can cast Counter Runes and form a chain.
5. If your Elestral is negated, send it and its Spirits to the Underworld. Otherwise, it resolves! Now you can activate effects that start with “when you cast ...”, including its own.

Some effects let you **Special Cast** an Elestral even if it costs more than 1 Spirit, it’s not in your hand, or it’s not your Main Phase. They may restrict which Spirits you can use or what Position it’s in. Follow these steps except that you reveal one or more Spirits, until its Enchantment Cost is met. This doesn’t count as your once-per-turn action; you can still Normal Cast in the same turn!

\- To **Normal Ascend** an Elestral, follow these steps:

1. Reveal a Spirit from your Spirit Deck and choose as many Spirits Enchanting your Elestrals as you want.
2. Choose the Elestral that’s Ascending. Reveal the Elestral in your hand that you’ll Ascend into, and pick Attack or Defense Position. 
3. Send the Ascending Elestral from the field to the Underworld. Put its Spirits, plus the Spirits you chose in step 1, under the Ascension in the same slot. Those cards are in Limbo for now.
4. Any player can Cast Counter Runes and add to the current chain.
5. If your Elestral is Negated, send it and its Spirits to the Underworld. Otherwise, it resolves and enters the field! You can activate “When you Cast …” or “when you Ascend …” effects now.

 
You can **Ascend** any of your Elestrals to any other, as long as you have enough Spirits to meet its cost. You can even Ascend to an Elestral with a lower cost!

You can also **Special Ascend** certain cards - This follows the same steps as a Normal Ascend except, just like Special Casting, it does not consume your Normal Action for the turn. Even when Ascending to a lower cost Elestral, always Enchant 1 Spirit from your Spirit Deck.

 
\- To **Enchant an Elestral:** choose 1 Spirit from your Spirit Deck, and attach it to any Elestral on your field. Enchanting your Elestrals with extra Spirits helps prepare them to Ascend on later turns or to Disenchant to pay for effects without being left with too few Spirits.

\- To **draw a card:** choose 1 Spirit from your Spirit Deck to Expend and draw 1 card from your Main Deck. There are also some actions that you can take
several times during your Main Phase!

\- To **Set a non-Stadium Rune**, place it face-down in your Rune Row. Don’t Enchant it with any Spirits yet. Stadiums can’t be Set. Counter Runes can only be Cast if they’re Set for one turn first, but no matter what type it is, Runes can’t be Cast the same turn they’re Set.

\- To **change your Elestral’s Position**, switch them from Attack Position (upright) to Defense (sideways), or vice versa. Each one of your Elestrals can only change its Position once a turn and only if it wasn’t cast this turn. But you can change several Elestrals’ Positions if you want, in any order and even if you take other actions between them.

\- To **Cast a Rune**, follow these steps:

1. Choose exactly enough Spirits to meet its Cost. If they’re in your Spirit Deck, reveal them. If it’s an Invoke or Counter Rune, you can choose from Spirits that are Enchanting cards on your field, too, but be careful - that might leave those cards too few Spirits for their Enchantment Cost!
2. If that Rune is Set, turn it face-up and Enchant it with those Spirits. If it’s an Artifact, choose which Elestral it Empowers.
3. If that Rune is a Stadium, send any currently Enchanted Stadiums to the Underworld, then put the Rune you’re Casting into your Stadium Slot and Enchant it with those Spirits.
4. Otherwise, reveal it and put it into an open slot in your Rune Row. Enchant it with those Spirits. If it’s an Artifact, choose which Elestral it Empowers.
5. Both players get a chance to respond with Counter Runes or conditional effects.

 
If your Rune Row is full you can still Cast an Invoke Rune even if it’s not Set. When you choose Spirits in step 1, also choose an Existing Rune to send to the Underworld so the Invoke Rune can take its slot. Spirits Enchanting it can be chosen to Enchant the Invoke Rune instead of being sent with it.

\- To **activate an effect**, choose an effect that starts with “you can” from a card on your field. If your Elestral is **Misenchanted**, you cannot activate its effects. If it has a cost - anything in front of the words “in order to” - then do that part of it now. If it targets a card, choose that target now. Then players have a chance to chain their responses, and after, that effect will resolve and you’ll follow its instructions!

If you activate an effect and then a chained effect negates it, your action is spent but it doesn’t resolve.
If a chained effect makes part or all of it impossible to resolve *(like if a target isn’t on the field anymore)*, it partially resolves and does whatever it can.

Main Phase

If you have Elestrals in Attack Position, you can battle your opponent’s Elestrals! Elestrals can attack up to one time each turn. Follow these steps:

1. Choose which Elestral is attacking, and which of your opponent’s Elestrals is being attacked. If they have none you attack their Spirit Deck.
2. Effects “when [an Elestral] declares an attack ...” activate, and players can chain Counters.
3. If the attack isn’t legal anymore, you can declare a new attack or do something else. Otherwise, those Elestrals enter battle! Until the battle is over, their Positions cannot be changed by effects.
4. Effects “when [an Elestral] enters battle [with] ...” activate, and players can chain Counters.
5. If both Elestrals are still on the field, compare their stats to determine the outcome of the battle *(see the next page)*. If either is missing, then the Elestral that’s still there is battling the opposing Spirit Deck.
6. Process the results. Usually, Elestrals are destroyed and players Expend Spirits.

An Elestral with 0 Attack deals no damage: it can’t destroy an Elestral - even if it has 0 Attack too - and can’t make a player Expend Spirits.

**If your opponent’s Elestral is in:**

**Attack Position**

* Compare both Elestrals’ Attacks. If they’re equal, destroy both. If one is smaller, destroy it.
* If a destroyed Elestral had fewer Enchanting Spirits than the other, its controller Expends Spirits equal to the difference, even if both were destroyed.

**Defense Position**

* Compare your Elestral’s Attack to the Defense of theirs. If theirs is smaller, destroy it, but if they’re equal or theirs is higher, nothing happens.
* No Spirits are Expended even if the defender is destroyed. Some effects can modify this.

 
When an Elestral battles a player’s Spirit Deck, they Expend Spirits equal to how many Spirits are Enchanting that Elestral. It’s rare but possible for a Defense Position Elestral to battle a player’s Spirit Deck; usually this happens if it’s attacked, but the attacking Elestral leaves the field before the battle is over. No Spirits are Expended in that case.

After battle, effects can activate “when [an Elestral] destroys ...” or “is destroyed”. This happens before declaring more battles.

Battle Phase

1. Some Runes and Elestrals have effects that can only activate “during the End Phase”; you can activate those now, or Cast Counter Runes, or both. Your opponent might also activate effects, or Cast Counter Runes, or both.
2. When there isn’t an active chain and neither player wants to begin a new one, the next player’s turn begins.
3. When the next turn begins, any effects that last “until the next turn” or “until the End Phase” stop applying.

End Phase

Some effects tell you to Nexus: this moves Spirits from one of your Elestrals or Runes to a different one! Nexus instructions always tell you how many and sometimes what kind of Spirits you can move. First, pick an Elestral or Rune on your field, and which Spirits you’re taking from it *(You can’t choose set cards, or Invoke or Counter Runes)*. Then pick a different Elestral or Rune on your field to receive them. Those Spirits are Disenchanted from the first and Enchanted to the second at the same time!

If either card can’t receive Spirits, can’t Nexus, or isn’t on the field anymore, then nothing happens.

**Artifact:** a type of Continuous Rune that Empowers an Elestral. You choose which at the time you cast the Artifact.

**Ascend:** a way to Cast an Elestral that includes sending an Elestral already on your field to the underworld and re-using its Spirits.

**Attack:** part of an Elestral card used to decide the outcome of a battle when that Elestral is in Attack Position.

**Attack Position:** when an Elestral is placed upright on the field, facing its owner.

**Attack Step:** the part of the Battle Phase where the turn player chooses an Elestral to attack their opponent or an opponent's Elestral. Players have a chain window, and if the attack becomes illegal, it is cancelled.

**Instant:** a category of Runes that includes Invoke and Counter. These Runes immediately impact the game, then are sent to the Underworld. You can Disenchant Spirits that are already on your field to cast these.

**Invoke:** a type of Instant Rune that is Cast during your Main Phase.

**Limbo:** a holding zone that contains the chain, cards, and effects are on the chain, and cards and effects that waiting to be chained.

**Resolve:** to have an impact on the game as a results of being Cast or activated. Effects can partially resolve if some of their instructions are impossible. Negated actions don't resolve.

**Response window:** a timing period that occurs after a chain resolves in which players can activate conditional effects and Counter Runes, but cannot take other actions.

**Rune:** a card type broken into two categories: Instant and Continuous. They are often less powerful than Elestrals, but easier to Cast.

**Set:** to place a Rune that isn’t a Stadium facedown in your Rune Row, to be cast on a later turn. Counter Runes can only be cast this way.

**Side Deck:** an optional deck containing up to 15 cards. Between Best of 3 games of tournament, these cards can be swapped with cards in your Main or Spirit Deck, however, the Spirit Deck must returned to its original state at the start of a new Best of 3 Clash.

**Special Ascend, Special Cast:** a way of modifying the Cast or Ascend process based on a card’s instructions. Casting an Elestral this way doesn’t count as your once per turn Normal Cast or Normal Ascend.

**Spirit:** a card type that acts as both your life total and your resource for playing cards. Each Spirit has an elemental type associated with it

**Spirit Deck:** where your Spirit cards are stored in a face-down pile. You can look through this deck at any time during a game.

**Stadium:** a type of Continuous Rune that impacts all Elestrals on the field. Only one Stadium can exist at a time; Casting a new one replaces any currently Enchanted.

**Target:** a temporary designation that some effects give to cards, zones, or players to indicate that they’re going to perform an action involving the designated object.

**Unaffected:** a keyword that protects a card from a group of other cards or effects. That group can't target, Empower, Suppress, destroy, or otherwise directly affect it, but any of their effects that change the rules of the game will still apply to it.

**Underworld:** where cards that you have spent in a game - usually discarded, Expended, or destroyed - are kept in a face-up pile.

Glossary

Counter Runes and conditional effects (ones that activate “when” an event happens) can form Chains! Chains allow players to react to an action and prevent it from happening or change what it does. Cards being Cast, Ascended, or Set can form the base of a Chain. So can declaring a battle, activating an effect, even Searching your deck!

To add a link to a Chain, a player announces that they’re Casting their Counter Rune or activating their effect “in response to” an action. That effect will resolve - have an impact on the game - before the action at the base of the Chain does. More links can be added to a Chain the same way, back and forth, and the turn player always gets to add links before the non-turn player.

Once players are finished adding links to a Chain, that Chain is closed - no more links can be added to it. Resolve the newest link first, then the next, all the way down to the base of the Chain. Any effects that meet their conditions during this process will wait to go onto the next Chain.

If an action gets negated, it counts as spent but nothing happens. If it wasn’t negated but it can’t be finished anymore, it either partially works, or it rewinds; check the rules on Casting and Ascending Elestrals, Casting Runes, and activating effects to know what to do if you can’t finish those actions.

Conditional effects activate only if a Chain ends and their condition was *successfully* met during that Chain. If an action is negated, it doesn’t happen - so it won’t activate effects. Actions that are rewound also won’t activate them.

```

## Two-part effects that activate “When you do” an instruction are separated

Certain cards (like Equilynx, Kindleo, and Sparkitt) have two-part effects that give an instruction first, then have a condition “when you do” that instruction. Previously these were known as “compound” effects - the second effect was bundled into the first one, meaning the “when you do” portion could be activated even if that Elestral wasn’t Enchanted anymore.

Now these are known as “linked” effects - the “when you do” condition can only be met by the first effect, but otherwise, the two effects activate and resolve separately. This means that like other conditional effects, your Elestral must be Enchanted and cannot be Suppressed for you to activate it. For example, if you activate part one of your Kindleo’s effect and Nexus its only Spirit away to another card, you won’t get to target and destroy an Elestral because that Kindleo no longer has the Spirit it needs.

## Removing the “pending effects” exception to field checks

“Field checks” were introduced during the “Set 1 Rules Update” to organize how illegal game states are handled. After each chain resolves, field checks are performed; any Elestral or Rune that has too few Spirits to meet its Enchantment Cost is sent to its owner’s Underworld. The same happens to any Artifact Runes no longer Empowering an Elestral.

Introducing field checks changed how a few cards worked in some cases. In particular, Gorgon’s Gaze can Negate an Elestral’s effect on the chain, but only if it can still target that Elestral on the field. “Compound” effects like Kindleo’s or Sparkitt’s sometimes allowed that Elestral to chain an effect even if the Elestral was leaving the field during field checks. To make sure Gorgon’s Gaze could still interact with those effects the way it was meant to, an exception was added: “Elestrals or Runes with a conditional effect waiting to be chained are ignored by field checks.”

Now that compound effects are being deprecated (above), this interaction with Gorgon’s Gaze no longer exists. To simplify field checks, this exception is now removed.

## Unusual cases with conditional effects and field checks

Although “when you do” linked effects no longer work this way, there are some rare cases where a Rune or Elestral sent to the Underworld by a field check can still have a conditional effect waiting to be chained. When this happens, that card is sent to the Underworld as usual, then its waiting effect can be activated as the next chain opens.

For example: say you have a Hummbust on your field and you Cast Altar of the Stars. A card is considered “successfully Cast” as soon as it starts to resolve, so before we follow any of Altar’s instructions, Hummbust’s effect has already met its condition of “when a player Casts a Rune”. That effect is added to Limbo and waits to join the next open chain. Now if you Nexus your Hummbust’s last Spirit away from it with that Altar of the Stars, it will be sent to your Underworld during the next set of field checks. But because Hummbust’s effect is already waiting in Limbo it can still be activated when the next chain begins.

The key difference in this example versus linked effects is the timing when a condition is checked. Cards like Kindleo or Sparkitt tell you to Nexus Spirits first, and then check “when you do” to try to activate their second effect. Since this check happens after the Nexus, it won’t work if the Elestral is Misenchanted at this point. But Hummbust’s effect checks as soon as a Rune starts to resolve, before any of its instructions are followed. As long as Hummbust is Enchanted at that point then its effect will be added to Limbo, waiting for the next chain, and any instructions that cause it to be Misenchanted or leave the field are too late to stop the effect at this point.

Niko and Teran

Hello Casters,

Introducing the Elestrals Judge Program!

A Judge is an official referee for the Elestrals Play Network. Judges have an advanced knowledge of the game rules and a robust understanding of tournament policy and how to apply it. They are mediators who can de-escalate delicate situations to put everyone at ease, an investigator who’s able to discover the truth in cases where something afoul is at play, and most importantly someone the players can put their trust in and know they can rely on to have their back.

Being a Judge does not mean just being very good with rulings, it’s the complete package. If you are simply interested in expanding your knowledge of the game rules then you should become a Rules Helper, the intermediate step between a full-blown Judge and a regular player!

All you need to do to become a Rules Helper is take and score 80% or higher on the [Rules Helper Exam](https://elestra.ls/rules-helper-exam), a multiple-choice questionnaire covering various aspects of the game over 20 questions. Please be advised, if you fail the Rules Helper Exam you cannot take the quiz again for two weeks, so you’d better get studying.

Being a Rules Helper signifies enough proficiency with the rules of the game to answer most questions that might come up at a local tournament. It also grants you access to the Elestrals Judges Discord, the main hub for discussion and debate regarding all topics connected to Judging. Most importantly, you get a snazzy role in the Official Elestrals Discord.

The documents that a Rules Helper needs to master are the [How to Play Guide](https://elestra.ls/h2p) and the [Judge Training Modules](https://elestra.ls/judge).

Becoming a Judge is a harder journey. After becoming a Rules Helper you can become a certified Judge by:

* Completing the Advanced Judge Test, which is made up of 12 open questions to be completed in 90 minutes;
* Judging a small number of events (Either online under the supervision of other Judges or in person by providing complementary player and/or Tournament Organizer feedback that you did a good job). Having been a Judge for a different TCG can also satisfy this requirement;
* Completing a brief interview with the Rules Managers in which we’ll look at your general aptitudes and philosophy, as well as putting to the test some skills that are harder to demonstrate in a written exam.

Once you do all of the above, then congratulations! You have just become a certified Elestrals Judge. To be a Judge is to be someone well-versed in even the more technically precise aspects of the rules, who can be trusted to arbitrate tournaments fairly and consistently, and who can be a solid pillar on which everyone in their community can rely. In a sense, you’ll be a steward of the game, so raise that torch high! We don’t expect you to become an overnight expert, but it’s the first step in a long and rewarding journey.

As Judges, you’ll receive some exclusive Judge Rewards, which will be announced at a future date. And of course, an even snazzier role in the Official Elestrals Discord.

The documents that a Judge needs to master are the [Comprehensive Rules](https://drive.google.com/file/d/14utOJ7LOz0BhGtE-wB3dmjwdBdDqJzQb/view?usp=sharing), the [Tournament Rules](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1plH0nSbv9DtFDJ5ZEOwQuPyHE0a6H4jI/view?usp=sharinghttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1plH0nSbv9DtFDJ5ZEOwQuPyHE0a6H4jI/view?usp=sharing), and the [Errors, Penalties, and Remedies](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j2EgU1NpZbe6fbCB-Wg6LdRU4H6GLPng/view?usp=sharing).

LGS Exclusive Event

Firestorm Set Championships

Greetings Casters!

Today we're announcing updates to the Elestrals TCG Banned and Limited list, which will take effect on June 1st 2025, in preparation for the first Firestorm Online Premier on June 7th. Maintaining a healthy and diverse metagame is crucial for competitive play, and these adjustments are made with that goal in mind.

Our philosophy is to intervene when specific cards or strategies are dominating the environment to an undesirable degree, or leading to unfavorable play experiences. We want to ensure multiple competitive decks are viable and that players have meaningful choices in their deckbuilding. With that in mind, we have two key changes to announce:
 
#### Banned - Elechik

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/ee2e494e-c959-46b7-83e9-b7481b761a81/upload-1747722758794.png)
Elechik has been a card on our radar for some time, and its impact on the metagame, particularly in conjunction with the Divines Zeus and Demeter, has been significant. Banning Elechik aims to reduce the overall power level of these prevalent Divine strategies. We understand that Zeus is an important card for many rogue decks due to its ability to contribute to stat totals, and we are currently not looking to limit Zeus at this time as we evaluate its place in the Firestorm metagame. We are also planning to introduce a new Zeus-specific searcher in Set 6, and Elechik will receive an "Escaped from Tartarus" version in the future.
 
#### Limit to 1 - Rise from the Ashes

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/310dcb07-74e4-43f1-a6ed-bd758dd3738b/upload-1747722818423.png)
Rise from the Ashes is a very swingy card that can have a disproportionate impact on the game. While the recent tournament results did not directly necessitate this change, the card's potential to enable powerful plays, particularly in strategies aiming to leverage Blizzstrix, has been noted. Limiting Rise from the Ashes to one copy per deck aims to temper the consistency of these powerful plays without unduly impacting the individual components of Blizzstrix strategies.
 
### Looking Ahead

We are continuously evaluating the health of the format and monitoring the performance of various cards. Zeus and Demeter, along with other staple cards, remain on our radar. However, with the introduction of new cards in upcoming sets, it's important to allow the metagame to adapt and see how these new additions influence the competitive landscape. Removing too many foundational cards at once could lead to instability. We'll aim to provide more discussions surrounding bans in the future.

We also have news related to a Banned & Limited implementation for Clash that we'll be announcing soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that update.

As a reminder, preconstructed starter decks are legal for play regardless of containing banned & restricted cards provided they are not modified.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support of Elestrals. We are committed to fostering a dynamic and engaging game for all Casters.

Help Bring Elestrals to Your LGS!

**A new era in the [Shattered Stars: Zodiac](https://www.shopelestrals.com/collections/shattered-stars?sort_by=manual&filter.p.product_type=Booster+Bundle) Chapter has arrived, with Shattered Stars: Cancer.**

Ride the tides and command the seas like never before with an incredible set inspired by the Divine God, Poseidon, and the Water Pantheon. In this set, you’ll find a variety of Water cards from previous sets, featuring all-new artwork and illustrations, as well as some new debuts!

Let’s take a look at some of the cards that can be found when this expansion releases on July 1, 2025.

- - -

###### **Stellar Poseidon**

Illustrator: [Lorenzo Sanarico](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=Lorenzo%20Sanarico)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/4768283e-562d-4c4e-96d9-a96c61d0438b/upload-1749942097616.png)
[**Poseidon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-595) was one of the first Divine Gods introduced back in the original [***Base Set***](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/FE01) expansion, and has returned here as our first ever Full Art Stellar Divine Rune card. This stunning Stellar Divine has been reimagined as the Dark Lord of the Seas, with his Champion Elestral, Drakking, and will be available as an x/99 Stellar Rare. His powerful effect remains the same, allowing you to Nexus a Water Spirit from this Poseidon, once per turn.
Will you be chasing down one of these Stellar Poseidon? Get ready Casters… the tides are turning!

###### **Bubbloon *Champion of Aphrodite***

Illustrator: [Ryan Cortez](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=Ryan%20Cortez)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/f1ca53d3-728d-4e3b-8650-4ef3e596aebe/upload-1749942791890.png)
Champion of Who?... [**Bubbloon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-571) returns from its original debut in the [**Frostfall**](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/FE02) expansion, and has been reintroduced as a new Champion Elestral. This Bubbloon provides you the opportunity to discard itself and Expend a Water Spirit in order to Enchant up to 2 Water Spirits from your Underworld and/or Spirit Deck to a Water Element card on your field. This new effect can provide a lot of unique opportunities for your Water decks and strategies. (Such as, adding more Water Spirits to your [**Poseidon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-595), or adding a Water Spirit to your [**Dratagua**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-765) and enabling you to re-activate its effect).
There are lots of exciting ways to utilize and enjoy this new Water Champion!

- - -

###### **Stellar Javelantis**

Illustrator: [Amalry](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=Amalry)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/c585413e-e2ab-4bbc-8fc5-0cb7e20226ce/upload-1749943021224.png)
The streamlined [**Javelantis**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-776) from the original [***Base Set***](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/FE01) expansion has returned as a Reverse Stellar! This Oceanic Elestral forces opponents to Expend 3 Spirits whenever it destroys a Defense Position Elestral in battle. Thanks to the new effect from [**Verutaqua *Champion of Poseidon***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2135), it’s never been easier to Ascend into this powerful Water Elestral and unleash havoc against your opponents.
If you ever find yourself facing one, watch out!

- - -

###### **Moustacean**

Illustrator: [Élite4](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=%C3%89lite4)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/b22aa8bf-cf33-45c2-939a-8d54dfc046b6/upload-1749943283335.png)
Featuring one of the highest Defense stats from a 1-cost Elestral, it’s [**Moustacean**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-900)! This classic Water Elestral has returned from its original release in the [***Base Set***](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/FE01) expansion. By Expending a Water Spirit, you can swap its Attack with its Defense until the next turn. (This effect can also be activated when your opponent Normal Casts an Elestral.) This effect can provide some incredible scenarios for you to engage around opponents' Elestrals, forcing them to rethink their own strategy to work around you swapping your stats each turn.
As Moustacean returns, will we see the return of the Crab Meta?

- - -

###### **Stellar Majesea *Champion of Poseidon***

Illustrator: [WreckingArt](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=WreckingArt)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/b6371cfc-a226-4599-842e-02b8592fc078/upload-1749943411335.png)
You can’t have a new illustration of [**Poseidon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=poseidon&card_type%5B0%5D=rune_divine) and not include his Number 1 Champion, [**Majesea**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1671). This stunning Stellar Full Art is a reprint of the Full Art featured in the [***Divine Champions: Firestorm***](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/DC01) expansion, and reappears as the x/10 Stellar for Shattered Stars: Cancer. When paired with Poseidon on the field and in Attack Position, all Spirits Enchanting Elestrals become Water instead of their original Element. Plus! While in Defense Position, this Majesea can return up to 2 Water Spirits from your Underworld to your Spirit Deck.
The power of the sea has never been stronger when Poseidon and his Majesea are commanding the field!

Look forward to these and many more cards when the Elestrals TCG: *Shattered Stars—Cancer* expansion releases on **July 1, 2025**.

Elestrals TCG: Divine Champions - Lifestream is HERE!

We did the Impossible... Our Biggest Announcement Ever!

Exciting Changes to the Future of Elestrals TCG!

Today we’re announcing new changes to the Elestrals TCG Banned & Restricted List, which will take effect on July 29, 2025.

Our philosophy is to intervene when specific cards or strategies dominate the environment to an undesirable degree or lead to unfavorable play experiences. We want to ensure multiple competitive decks are viable and that players have meaningful choices in their deckbuilding. With that in mind, we have four key changes to announce:

**Kindleo**

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/a153e349-3a47-4a6a-a346-75cbb54729d1/upload-1753109964903.png)
Kindleo has been subject to restrictions for some time now. With the recent release of Divine Champions: Firestorm and the searchability from Smoltuga and Stoke the Forge, several powerful new strategies have gained popularity, and Kindleo has been able to unleash its full potential as a powerful removal card. By limiting this card to 1x copy (per deck), we hope Casters utilizing Kindleo can still enjoy its effect. At the same time, ensuring opponents don’t become overwhelmed, knowing that it will be the only one.

- - -

**Moralith**
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/f1e8e2d4-88dc-44b0-ab16-7dab510cfec9/upload-1753110013182.png)
Moralith’s Normal Cast effect is very unique (compared to the other Elemental Cairn Elestrals) as it can be generated very easily with the Self Mill strategy. By limiting this card to 1x copy (per deck), we hope to reduce the pressure of Blizzstrix and Morphrost strategies, and create a more balanced format for Casters to enjoy.

- - -

**Hurricane**
**![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/53688865-b503-4a1b-97a6-d3e71862698d/upload-1753110045684.png)**
Hurricane was created as a way to help Casters clear multiple Face-down Runes against them, to allow their strategies to flourish. However, we believe that (in the current metagame) Hurricane has removed part of the interaction between Casters that is a big part of the Elestrals TCG experience. By limiting this card to 1x copy (per deck), we hope to give Casters more opportunities to interact within one another's strategies, without being blown back.

- - -

**Lycavoid *Champion of Artemis***
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/8feccb44-bc0f-4f19-9803-281336adb1c7/upload-1753110064951.png)
Our Testing Team has thoroughly tested this card under various scenarios and strategies, and ultimately, this particular card and its effect need to be removed from the game. Lycavoid Champion of Artemis will be sent to Tartarus; however, it will be released from Tartarus with the release of Divine Champions: Lifestream, under a new ‘Errata’ card effect.
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/8e3e8e36-3e5e-4ba1-97ce-c57542ddc117/upload-1753110102481.png)
This new effect will create a more balanced experience for both Casters using this card and facing against it, as the owner will no longer be able to swarm the field with multiple Werepups easily.

(Following the release Divine Champions: Lifestream) Casters will still be able to use their original Lycavoid Champion of Artemis card; however, they must follow the new ‘Errata’ effect.

Banned & Restricted List Update (July-2025)

**Experience stunning new artwork and Stellars, in the August release of Shattered Stars!**

Ignite the forge and unleash the flaming power of the Fire Element, with an all-new series of cards inspired by the Divine God, Hephaestus!

In this expansion, you’ll discover a variety of Fire cards from the previous set of Elestrals TCG, featuring all-new exclusive artwork and illustrations, as well as some early debuts!

Let’s take a look at some of the cards that will be available when this expansion releases on August 1, 2025.

- - -

###### **Stellar Hephaestus**

Illustrator: [Lorenzo Sanarico](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=Lorenzo%20Sanarico)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/90fa459f-ae8c-4ab3-8b8c-c95ff9500c23/upload-1753282214118.png)

[**Hephaestus**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-811) is the Lord of the Forge and was one of the first Divines released in [***Base Set***](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/FE01). This Divine has seen a significant increase in popularity, thanks to the debut of [**Volcaries *Champion of Hephaestus***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1665), who has provided some powerful new strategies for Artifacts. This Stellar Hephaestus has been reimaged with a new look and will be available exclusively as an x/99 Stellar Rave, via the Leo packs of Shattered Stars!

Will you be chasing down the Stellar Hephaestus?

- - -

###### Helmelt

Illustrator: [Amalry](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=Amalry)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/d9494d84-d193-4aac-b7d2-e139ae415911/upload-1753282362841.png)

Helmelt is making an early debut in this expansion of Shattered Stars. This new Elestral has a very unique effect that, when discarded, this Helmelt can be Special Cast onto the field from your Underworld using a Fire Spirit from either your Spirit Deck or Underworld. This new effect can provide many opportunities for Casters to explore, such as using the Special Cast as a way to then Normal Ascend into a bigger Elestral.

Look forward to learning more about Helmelt with the upcoming release of Divine Champions: Lifestream.

- - -

###### **Stellar Sinder**

Illustrator: [Amalry](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=Amalry)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/1a61514f-7418-4948-8de8-828763edd4e5/upload-1753282448343.png)

The Dastardly Elestral is at long last making its Stellar debut! [**Sinder**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-541) was released back in [***Base Set***](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/FE01) and became a fan favorite thanks to its unique Mill effect against opponents. This Reverse Stellar card will be exclusive to the Shattered Stars—Leo expansion.

If you find one of these, be sure to try out the Mill strategy for yourself!

- - -

###### Celestleo

Illustrator: [Élite4](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=%C3%89lite4)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/5f4c0234-92f1-4e4c-a75f-bde1c637a640/upload-1753282462581.png)

The Season of the Lion is here! Time to lead the pride and unleash the mighty [**Celestleo**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-712)! Featuring one of the highest Attack stats in the game, Celestleo rules over as the face of Shattered Stars—Leo! This powerful Solar Elestral was release in the [***Daybreak***](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/FE03) expansion and can utilize the Foretell mechanic, enabling its Caster to Destroy cards on the field up to the number of Solar Elestrals Celestleo Foretold. Under the right circumstances, Celestleo can dominate opponents and wreak havoc with one mighty roar!

This Constellation Celesleo is one not to be missed!

- - -

###### **Stellar Majursa *Champion of Hestia***

Illustrator: [Élite4](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?artist%5B0%5D=%C3%89lite4)
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/f557994a-0bf7-4158-9e3f-3334d8b59ad9/upload-1753282609662.png)

The Bears are Back! The stunning [**Majursa *Champion of Hestia***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1778) alt-art from [***Divine Champions: Firestorm***](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/DC01) is back and reimagined as a gorgeous Stellar.

The new Krakkid Champion further supports the power to Block unoccupied slots in an opponent’s Elestral row, so long as it's Enchanted on your field. Krakking, Champion of Poseidon, takes advantage of these blocked slots, as it can be Special Cast to the field if an opponent has at least two blocked on their field. In addition, once per turn, you can expend a Water Spirit to return a Water card from your Underworld to your hand. This can provide some incredible strategies with cards like [**Galaxea**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1668), [**Rise from the Depths**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-931), and even the King of the Seas himself, [**Poseidon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2065).

Look out when these new Champions rise in [Divine Champions: Lifestream](https://www.shopelestrals.com/products/lifestream-booster-display-24-booster-packs)!

NEW Champions Coming to Elestrals TCG!

**Learn all about the new effects: DAZED and ENRAGED, coming to Elestrals TCG: Divine Champions – Lifestream! 🍃🌊**

**DAZED** and **ENRAGED** are two statuses new to Lifestream. They are mutually exclusive, so an Elestral cannot be both at the same time. If you Daze an Elestral that is Enraged, it stops being Enraged, and vice versa.

A **DAZED** Elestral cannot attack during its controller's Battle Phase.

An **ENRAGED** Elestral must attack (if able) and is always put in Attack Position during its controller's Battle Phase. More specifically, this means that:

* When your Battle Phase begins, all Enraged Elestrals you control in Defense Position must change to Attack Position.
* If, during your Battle Phase, a Defense Position Elestral on your field becomes Enraged, then it is changed to Attack Position immediately.
* If an effect tries to change an Enraged Elestral to Defense Position during its controller's Battle Phase, it instead does nothing.

\*Note that there's no fixed duration for Daze and Enrage. While some effects will last until the end of the turn, others will last indefinitely (or until the opposite status is applied).

 
Utilize [**Dionysus**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1852)**,** [**Dionysus' Madness**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1823), and many more cards to Daze and Enrage Elestrals on the board.

**Use Coins to Mark Your Board**

To help Casters keep track of Dazed, Enraged, Blocked, and Suppressed Elestrals, there are custom [Status Coins](https://www.shopelestrals.com/products/lifestream-status-coin-pack) available for you to purchase and utilize.

Each Coin Box includes 9 Coins featuring:

* 1x Heads and Tails
* 4x Dazed and Enraged
* 4x Suppressed and Blocked

These premium, double-sided plastic tokens bring clarity and precision to your matches, making it easier than ever to track effects!

Card Legality Update from OP: Series 4

**It’s time for our next Early Access update to Elestrals Clash! and we’ve got a little bit of everything for you with this patch. We’ve got new cards, new cosmetics, bug fixes, and more.**

- - -

### New Cards and Customization

Elestrals Clash! has added six new functional cards:

* Spinymph *Champion of Hermes*
* Spinosect *Champion of Hermes*
* Fowlicane
* Emphrostrix
* Monsoon of Eurus
* Pandora’s Box

**New Frames and Effects:**
With this update, we’re adding nine new customizable frame options - one for each Spirit type and one for Omni! They’ll look like this:
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/484d5aee-dd46-4608-a7d2-e9d6bfbddd2a/upload-1756758593971.png)
Choosing a custom frame will change both the full card and the on-board token. You can match your cards with their Spirits for a unified look… or you can fully embrace chaos and mix it up with Earth-framed Soarlet and Water-framed Necruff. (Water puppy!!)

In addition, we have two new card VFX that will appear on play. When we saw this new lightning animation on Astrabbit, we were shocked!

### Bug Fixes:

* Elestrals were unable to Ascend in rare circumstances.
* Morphrost *Scorpio Form*'s effect could activate against Elestrals who cannot be targeted. (Scorpio is still a bug. That’s normal.)
* Hermes could target non-Elestral Wind cards.
* Audio SFX continuously looped after an opponent conceded.

Kissimmee Open, 2025

Elestrals Kissimmee Open, 2025 Premier Tournament!

Hi Casters,

A few months ago, we launched *Elestrals Clash!* in Open Beta/Early Access on Steam, welcoming both long time Casters and brand-new players into the *Clash!* community. Your passion and feedback have already impacted development in numerous ways, and we’re deeply grateful to have you with us.

Transparently, our initial release missed the mark, and the game isn’t where we want it to be yet. We know we haven’t delivered the level of quality expected, and we’re sorry for the frustrations this has caused.

We remain fully committed to *Elestrals Clash!* as a project, and we’re still moving toward our goal of a **completely free-to-play digital experience** for the **Elestrals TCG**. Here’s how we’ll get there.

**First, the tutorial.**
*Clash!* should serve as an approachable, comprehensive way to learn the game on your own, with a clear, effective guide. We recognize that the original tutorial failed on this front, so we’re rebuilding it from the ground up.

The new tutorial will launch in multiple sections, each with new lessons, improved visuals, and even voiceover! The first several sections are undergoing multiple rounds of review and refinement and will be added to the game in our next major update on **October 1st, 2025**.

**Second, the cards.**
For our dedicated ladder grinders, we’ve learned a lot about the challenges of routinely adding new cards to the game, and we’ve heard your disappointment when new cards don’t make an impact.

We’re adjusting our approach. Future updates will focus on hand-picked groups of cards that function well together, either as a package or by enhancing the existing card pool to further optimize existing strategies. Our next update includes some Lifestream cards, and we can’t wait to see what new decks emerge!

We’re also implementing a **banlist** exclusive to *Clash!* to create more variety in ranked play. This list will change over time as the card pool expands, and will have more dynamic adjustments than the TCG banlist, so don’t be surprised if we experiment a bit. The first iteration won’t arrive until our next major update, so please *bear* with us. Once *Elestrals Clash!* is aligned with the physical TCG, the *Clash!* banlist will be updated to match the current bans and restrictions of Elestrals TCG.

**Finally, the development.**
Behind the scenes, we’re making changes to ensure *Clash!* stays fresh for Casters. Patches will no longer follow a strict two-week rhythm, but will slow down to focus on implementing larger, more meaningful updates, squashing bugs, and adding polish to deliver the truly high-quality experience our community deserves.

We also want to be clear that these steps forward still include our full release goals: a mobile version and 1:1 card parity with the physical game. We’re not ready to commit to a timeline yet, but we’ll share more as we get closer.

Please keep sharing your feedback with us. We’re listening, and grateful for your support. Thank you for being here with us

Happy Casting!
The Elestrals Team

 
*The **next Patch Update** for Elestrals Clash! will be implemented on **October 1st, 2025**.*

“One of the big thing is the Windjinn engine..., extra high end cards that bait out Gorgon’s Gaze so that your Rise from the Ashes, Nebuleo, and Leobrite also go through. The difference between our deck and other Solar decks is that others were more low to the ground with things like Lumaroo and Sundile—that works, but taking a note from Lochagon, the higher end explosive play is right at home in Lifestream. I have one Armadawn in the sideboard. It’s my emotional support Armadawn.”

“I knew the whole way through that it would be an explosive match... It is a little bit of a gamble deck but my list is more consistent—obviously it has its misses, but the deck feels crazy and when it goes off and wins on the spot... There were definitely a few games that just came down to checking stats and attacking with Elestrals, especially if I’m able to grab the Mountains of Boreas—it does happen. At the end of the day, it usually ends with a simplified game state, I go Narpoon, get Emphrostix, get back something and that’s usually how I win. Well, that or Rise from the Ashes—the late game plays seal up the whole deck.”

“Not gonna lie, I’m so surprised that I was able to pull this off! I felt confident before the tournament, then saw Solar and said ‘man I need to dodge a lot of Solar... I was quite surprised how dominant it was over Earth and it gave me lots of confidence, especially in the Top 16... When I first saw the Aphrodite cards I was very hyped to play them and between me and my friend came up with a very good list... I thought solar was going to make the finals, but that Blizzstrix list was really strong. It didn’t work out as much against me, but I saw in that Game 2 that when it pays off! **Really excited to go to worlds!**”

Lifestream Set Championships

Today, we’re announcing new changes to the Elestrals TCG Banned & Restricted List, which will take effect on **October 24, 2025**.

Our philosophy is to intervene when specific cards or strategies dominate the environment to an undesirable degree or lead to unfavorable play experiences. We want to ensure multiple competitive decks are viable and that players have meaningful choices in their deckbuilding. With that in mind, we have three key changes to announce:

- - -

**Banned - Rise from the Ashes**
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/4da956e5-b661-4829-bc91-1978e805133c/upload-1760469591676.png)
In May, we limited Rise from the Ashes to one copy due to it being a swingy card that can have a disproportionate impact on the game. While this restriction was effective in the Firestorm format, the increased tools available in Lifestream have prompted a resurgence in this card’s usage in multiple strategies. In order to mitigate the volume of explosive turns without taking action against any specific threats in the developing format, Rise from the Ashes is **banned**.

- - -

**Banned - Hurricane**
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/9cccf4b6-989e-4802-8165-c1306d6ce26c/upload-1760469570653.png)
In July, we limited Hurricane to one copy due to its unrestricted ability to remove counterplay by destroying multiple Face-down Runes at once. Since then, Lifestream has provided players with both increased options for removing “backrow” Counter runes as well as increased rewards for doing so. As mentioned in the justification for Rise from the Ashes, the new format has many synergistic and powerful decks with strong combo turns. Global Rune destruction makes it too easy to get ahead and too hard to come back. As such, Hurricane is **banned**.

- - -

**Banned - Helios’ Chariot Ride**
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/6f1d8e16-8008-47f3-a4e8-d504061850a6/upload-1760469580251.png)
While Helios’ Chariot Ride has not faced any limits before now, the justification for action is very similar. Power turns become oppressive when it’s not possible to interact with them and this card disables an entire core component of Elestrals. While Chariot Ride has been around since the very start of the game, the leap forward in synergy from modern sets has created clearer opportunities for this card to protect board states and completely block reactivity. We’ve heard loud and clear that facing this card isn’t fun or interactive and we’re going to take immediate action. Helios’ Chariot Ride is **banned**.

- - -

We'll have another window for potential changes in December.

It’s time for our next update to *Elestrals Clash!* We’re continuing with our updated monthly patch cadence and have a bunch of new cards for you to try, along with some tweaks to our ban list and a whole lot of bug fixes. Let’s dive in!

- - -

### Patch Update & Time

Ver.0.116
11/01/2025 at 13:00 ET

- - -

### New Cards Added:

We have **twenty new cards** coming to *Clash!* this patch! Aphrodite makes a big splash along with her Champions - nobody tell her that Foamee has some Poseidon work on the weekends. We think Thunder players will have a lot to Lyca in this patch too!

* Apheros *Champion of Aphrodite* (Lifestream)
* Bubbloon *Champion of Aphrodite* (Lifestream)

- - -

### Clash! Banlist Update:

The initial Clash-only ban list has had a big impact on the metagame! Reading articles like [TheLaw’s over at TopElestrals](https://topelestrals.com/posts/decks-to-play-clash-october25-update) has been really exciting and we’re thrilled to see so much innovation among the player base. We’re going to keep that going with some additional tweaks this month.

**Banned (NEW):**

* Hurricane
* Rise from the Ashes

 
**Limits Removed:**

* Equilynx
* Kindleo
* Race to the Top
* Soarlet *Champion of Aeolus*

 
*Dev comment:* Hurricane and Rise from the Ashes are banned to align with the recent [TCG Banlist & Restriction Update](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__f09b47a4-8dec-49b6-a5c5-9828a5bcaaa8). In addition, we’re experimenting with some unlimits of older cards to see how they hold up against the new Lifestream archetypes entering *Clash!.* While these effects were more powerful in prior metagames, with more of a focus on incremental value, we’re curious to see how they hold up as new synergy-focused decks take the spotlight.

- - -

### Pandora's Box - INTO THE SKY

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/63287843-71dd-469c-a6a1-43072ad129dc/upload-1761994887618.png)
You’ll be living in the penthouse after opening this month’s Pandora’s Box! **Penterror** fans have multiple gorgeous Full Arts to chase, alongside a legendary Statue to intimidate their opponents. But if you’d rather have a more friendly Buddy, **Hydrake** is here to keep you company. The sky’s the limit!

- - -

### Clash Pass - DRESSED TO SUPPRESS

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/bcbc399e-acdd-43ea-b9fd-76a2429bccc2/upload-1761994940878.png)
Our Clash Pass this month features Lunar Elestrals that can’t get enough of Suppression. If you were a fan of **Shattered Stars: Libra**, you’ll love this pass - especially the new and exclusive Full Art **Stellar** Specteris *Champion of Artemis*! **Toxeerie** and **Nitevenom** are here too… if you can see them through the fog. The only way to find them is to get the pass and Clash for Victory!

Harnessing the elemental forces of Earth and Wind, Yrebellion showcased incredible skill as they swept the competition with [**Hermes**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1686) and his many tricks!
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/73e8bb5d-146c-4e53-9da7-50895c117fda/upload-1764700416703.jpg)

### Top Decks and Archetypes

Our Top 8 Casters utilized a strong range of archetypes, with Earth and Frost showcasing a dominant performance.

Water and Solar continue their dominance as the most represented decks; however, the forces of Frost are sneaking in! ⚔️

### Top 12 Cards Featured

Building a deck from scratch and ensuring you're featuring the key Elestrals and Runes needed for your strategy can be a challenge. Utilize these breakdowns featuring the Top 12 Cards (in Main Deck and Side Deck) to help construct your perfect deck!

Making a surprise appearance at Number 1 is [**Tadpuff**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-553)! Who would’ve thought this little guy could be so strong and such a menage in Water strategies.
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/62457039-204b-4ea7-8c2a-95308584bf07/upload-1764701553454.jpg)

[**Gorgon's Gaze**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1176) continues its dominance as one of the best Runes in the Elestrals Trading Card Game. Since the surging climb of Water decks, the Divine Goddess, [**Aphrodite**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1854) has risen in popularity and made it's way into the Top 12.
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/47a0d33c-cbba-4418-beaa-dcfeab279337/upload-1764701576975.jpg)

Your Side Deck is one of the most important tools for your Elestrals Deck. With the recent banning of [**Hurricane**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1507), Casters have taken a stronger interest into the Invoke Rune, [**Tornado**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-932), as this can return an opponents Rune to their hand, providing an opportunity for you to take action.

Elestrals TCG Organized Play

11/15 Premier Results: Hermes' Trickery Is No Joke!

Hello Casters,

We wanted to give you a heads up that our upcoming December 1st patch will not have new content, such as cards or cosmetics. The November 1st update we pushed had more issues than we hoped, and we want to stabilize things before adding more new cards into the mix.

This month’s Clash Pass and Pandora’s Box will be extended and will stay open through December. Your Pass progress will not be reset, and December will not require an additional purchase.

We’ll have more development communication in December. Until then, thanks for your patience!

Unleashing the surging power of the Water Element, Pope utilized some incredible cards like [**Galaxea**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-431), [**Lochagon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-622), and [**Lochagon *Champion of Aphrodite***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1789), to overpower their opponents and claim victory.

### Top Decks and Archetypes

**Water** and **Frost** Elements have taken over Top Cut, with **Fire** keeping alight with the strength of [**Hestia**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1696) and her Champion, [**Leonite**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1818)!

*Lochagon Combo* continues its surging popularity as one of the most played decks; however, **Frost** is sneaking up and joining **Water** in the Top 3!

The tides have turned!

12/06 Premier Results: Galaxea is BACK!

Greetings Casters!

We’re here to provide you with an update on an exciting new direction for *Shattered Stars* as we head into 2026.

Over the years, *Shattered Stars* has been an incredible way for our players and collectors to obtain exclusive illustrations and stunning Stellars of your favorite cards from across the Elestrals Trading Card Game series. However, as Elestrals has grown and our audience has expanded, the program’s structure hasn’t felt like a natural part of the game’s ecosystem as it once did.

We’ve heard your feedback about what you like and what you want changed - and as we enter the new year, we’ve decided that it’s time for us to reimagine *Shattered Stars* into something new.

Don’t worry, it’s not going away! We have a bunch of Ethereal Spirits and Stellar Divines to get into your hands, and you will have a chance to collect them as *Shattered Stars* enters a new galaxy next year.

While we put the finishing touches on this new journey, we will be saying goodbye to the subscription service. Instead of requiring you to manage your monthly subscription, the new *Shattered Stars* system will be a recurring, standalone product designed to meet the needs of today’s Casters.

For now, we are removing subscriptions, so you don’t have to worry about managing any charges on January 1, 2026 - you won’t be billed, and nothing will be shipped. We will have many more details to share about the new *Shattered Stars* in Spring 2026.

Thank you!

### Champion's Spotlight

With the chilling forces of Morhprost and Kryovyrn, **Frazinator9000** has become your newest Premier Champion and our Final Premier Champion of 2025! 🏆
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/229055d2-c253-47ba-b70a-caa4fc2b6064/upload-1766321173047.jpg)

Harnessing the strategic effects of the [**Morphrost**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=morphrost&base_card=true) archetype, combined with powerful presence of [**Kryovyrn**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-416) and [**Kryoscorch**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-416), **Frazinator** was able to take down the entire event earning their place at the [**2026 World Championships**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-416)!
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/d66e4eca-3b88-4e39-a433-76d5f9ddcc4c/upload-1766326604462.jpg)

### Top Decks and Archetypes
 
*Lochagon Combo* continues its reign at the top, with **Morphrost** right behind, however, maintaining a strong and consistent presence is the *Krakatuga Burn* deck archetype. Can the power of [**Eruption**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1018) take over?
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/4b0575c9-334d-435e-b6d3-ecf6ec0ec4fd/upload-1766321751138.jpg)

### Top 12 Cards Featured

Building a deck from scratch and ensuring you're featuring the key Elestrals and Runes needed for your strategy can be a challenge. Utilize these breakdowns featuring the Top 12 Cards (in Main Deck and Side Deck) to help construct your perfect deck!

Burning through the ranks and claiming Number 1 is [**Lavalith**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1015)! With the growing power of Divines and Stadiums, Lavalith is back and burning bright!
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/64f7290c-87f1-400f-aad5-5d2b2b6d9228/upload-1766322037301.jpg)

[**Pandora's Box**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-284) and [**Spoiled Fruit**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1503) continue their heavy representation across decks, alongside a variety of Counter Runes (such as [**Dense Fog**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1163) and [**Dionysus' Madness**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1823)) that slow down opponents plans and strategies.
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/0ebfa0ab-4fb6-4656-8719-e3ab855845d7/upload-1766322189201.jpg)

Your Side Deck is one of the most important tools for your Elestrals Deck. Cards like: [**Tsunami**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1127) and [**Cryoblast**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-818) are incredible Runes against decks that don't represent a heavy presence of Water or Frost Spirits. By utilising these in your Side Deck, you can add them between games when opposing decks are more appropriate.

12/20 Premier Results: MORE-PHROST to Victory!

As promised, we’re back in December with an update to the Lifestream competitive format. We’ve heard player feedback clearly about both the interest in some adjustments and some insight into our design philosophy - and today, we have both.

To start, we should review the goals behind the Restricted and Sent to Tartarus list. We have a very smart, competitive player base that has surprised us time and time again, and we’re always watching to see what the next big innovation will be.

In addition, the Tartarus list is meant to be a living document. As we release new expansions, existing power levels shift as additional tools become available. As such, older cards can return and create new developments instead of inhibiting them. In addition to the limits announced today, we also have some un-limits coming to the format. As far as we’re concerned, no ban is permanent. (Except Helios’ Chariot Ride. That can stay gone.)

With this in mind, we have a handful of balance changes that will take effect on **December 29, 2025**.

- - -

### Limited to 1 per deck:

**Morphrost *Batt Form***
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/60782d65-9926-4cbb-b5ca-cb774da93099/upload-1766407560194.png)
This is a hit to Morphrost's current resilience and heavy pressure it can present. We're happy with the positive impact that [**Morphrost *Chimera Form***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1870) has had on this fan favorite archetype; however, while the first board swing full of these phrosty-Elestrals is fun, the second and third are simply too resilient for opponents to manage. Early versions of this deck didn’t look scary in the data, but recent developments show an incredible win rate and an archetype that shows no signs of slowing down. We don't want this strategy to disappear, but this limit to Batt Form will require more investment into the Divine Goddess, [**Khione**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-984) and [**Emphrostix**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-655) to recur boards. [*View all impacted prints of **Morphrost-Batt Form** here.*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Morphrost%20Batt%20Form)

 
**Tadpuff**
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/6bd5021a-9a71-47f5-a038-6df4f3d857ab/upload-1766407568567.png)
[**Lochagon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1789) is a fun and new strategy that's maintained popularity and success since its debut in Lifestream. We like this deck's gameplay and its focus on consistency, however it's also a bit too fast. It's ok for [**Aphrodite**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1854) to serve as a strong engine once online, but Tadpuff enables the combos and powerful Ascensions a bit too quickly, making it very difficult for opponents to keep up and manage. By pulling back on the speed, it allows other decks and Elestrals to breathe. [*View all impacted prints of **Tadpuff** here*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Tadpuff)[*.*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Morphrost%20Batt%20Form)

 
**Tadfloe**
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/d7a96b4b-29d0-4394-8293-c9afe979a38c/upload-1766407578732.png)
With the new Lifestream cards in the mix, [**Blizzstrix**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1482) is still surprisingly consistent and when combined with Tadfloe, it can lead to a surprise [**Eyewoolly *Champion of Khione***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1894), which can lead to an explosive board presence. A limit to Tadfloe will hopefully keep this experience from being so common. [*View all impacted prints of **Tadfloe** here.*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Tadfloe)

- - -

### Un-Limited:

**Race to the Top**
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/1f604044-1efe-47f6-9452-2ca820903d38/upload-1766407587274.png)
Even with the new rise in [**Brontoglow**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1807) and Thunderstorm decks, Thunder has struggled to keep up and remain relevant in the current Lifestream meta. We’re curious to see if the return of Race to the Top can encourage more experimentation by rewarding players with more destruction and the ability to swing the board back in their favour. [*View all impacted prints of **Race to the Top** here.*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Race%20to%20the%20Top)

 
**Equilynx**
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/01b9cce6-ffd7-4202-ae77-d3d13fd0d173/upload-1766407595722.png)
A year ago, Equilynx was an oppressive force to anyone trying to build a strategy around active Runes. With the ability to routinely destroy a Rune every turn while surviving behind a wall of efficient defense, it was a tough Elestral for opponents to manage around. In the current Lifestream meta, we don’t see this happening often, and the Earth Element has dipped in power levels. We'd like for Earth to get a chance to re-control backrow and play a fair midrange game focused on controlling the game state. *Dionysus is officially removed from fraud watch and may soon be coming to the most wanted list.* [*View all impacted prints of **Equilynx** here*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Equilynx)[*.*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Race%20to%20the%20Top)

 
**Kindleo**
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/2484198d-e0e2-4725-87f6-9b881306c7fc/upload-1766407601571.png)
*Let’s heat things up!* Fire Artifact decks have cooled off since the start of the Lifestream meta, and we’d like to give the Fire Element some more options in deck building, especially with cards that allow them to build out more diverse playstyles. Kindleo rewards a Divine-focused playstyle while preventing the opponent’s battlefield from getting out of hand. [*View all impacted prints of **Kindleo** here.*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Kindleo)

 
All three of these cards were restricted when the Elestrals Trading Card Game was played very differently, and efficient removal was one of the defining factors of a successful deck at the time. As threats have improved and decks have become more resilient, there’s more of an opportunity for answers to get better too. We’re hoping that these new Un-Limits provide incentive for players to experiment and help improve the comeback potential of multiple different Elements.

That’s it for un-limits! Actually, we would like to make one more change… one we won’t avoid any longer!

- - -

### Released from Tartarus:

**Lycavoid *Champion of Artemis***
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/dd1dbf4c-ca5c-4ea3-8724-0095574750a3/upload-1766407608112.png)
This card was one of the most hotly discussed earlier this year when it was quite powerful in Firestorm, with a wide variety of opinions and perspectives on what to do about it. We originally had a plan to Errata the card, but we ended up switching gears and printed a new “fixed” version in the Artemis Starter Deck (from Lifestream). While we’re happy with the logic that led us to that decision at the time of printing, the Lifestream format overall has taught us that we have some room to grow in terms of power, and Lycavoid *Champion of Artemis* can fit right back in. With Lifestream’s increased focus on synergy, Lycavoid’s splashability is less of a concern since spirit slots are much harder to come by in 2026, and the ability for a player to respond to Lycavoid's swarm has been granted to multiple contending Elements. [*View all impacted prints of **Lycavoid-Champion of Artemis** here.*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Lycavoid%20Champion%20of%20Artemis&total_cost%5B0%5D=2)

- - -

We currently expect these adjustments to be the final balance change prior to the release of Divine Champions: Sunstrike; however, we will continue to evaluate the format and take action on any changes that need to happen before the [**2026 Elestrals Worlds Championships**](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__f448f028-1cbe-4719-968b-4bb8fa68378b), after our webcam [**Premier Tournaments**](https://elestra.ls/next-tournament) conclude for the season.

We’re excited to see what new decks emerge and how current strategies evolve when these changes go live on **December 29, 2025**!

December 22nd 2025

Banned & Restricted List Update (December-2025)

Hello, Casters!

As we approach the end of an incredible competitive year with the 2026 Elestrals World Championships, our team have been conducting a comprehensive audit of the Elestrals TCG Tournament Circuit to ensure the integrity of our World Championship rankings. Every point earned on the journey to Worlds must be consistent worldwide, and this audit ensures that players competing on the world stage have earned their seats under the same competitive standard.

During this process, we identified a technical configuration error affecting a small number of events that occurred earlier this year. This error caused certain events to award players higher Qualifier Point values than intended. To ensure fairness for all players who have been grinding throughout the season, we have corrected these totals to reflect the proper point structures.

Since this adjustment is coming after the event has been announced, we are also making a global adjustment to the Qualifier Points threshold required to qualify. **Players will now qualify for the 2026 World Championship with 225 points, instead of 250.** This global change will mitigate the impact of the adjusted Qualifier Points.

What this means for you:

* **Rankings Update:** The [Global Leaderboard](https://play.elestrals.com/rankings) has been updated to reflect accurate point totals for all players.

Showcasing powerful synergy and control of their deck, **adumadam** was able to fill their board with [**Cedarsaur**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1460), [**Blizzstrix**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1482), and [**Morphrost**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Morphrost&base_card=true), thanks to the incredible effects of their [**Eyewoolly *Champion of Khione***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1894)!

### Top Decks and Archetypes
 
Despite taking the crown, the forces of Frost are not quite strong enough to take down the popularity of *Lochagon Combo*! Remaining comfortably at the top of the play rate stats, Lochagon continues to be a crowd favorite with *Ladogon Daze/Enrage* and *Krakatuga Burn* keeping up the pressure right behind it.

### Top 12 Cards Featured

Building a deck from scratch and ensuring you're featuring the key Elestrals and Runes needed for your strategy can be a challenge. Utilize these breakdowns featuring the Top 12 Cards (in Main Deck and Side Deck) to help construct your perfect deck!

After their recent release from Tartarus, [**Lycavoid *Champion of Artemis***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-537), dominated the show and topped as one of the most represented Elestrals, alongside its key partner, [**Werepup**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1446). Also, claiming a place in the Top 12 was [**Equilynx**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-537), now Un-Limited it can freely team up with Earth strategies and create challenges for opposing Runes  and defenses.  ![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/961eb33b-2937-495f-a333-622bbd6182b1/upload-1767529653943.jpg)

 
[**Pandora's Box**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-284) and [**Spoiled Fruit**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1503) continue their heavy representation across decks, alongside a variety of Counter Runes (such as [**Dense Fog**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1163) and [**Dionysus' Madness**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1823)) that slow down opponent's plans and strategies.

With a new desire to unleash Lycavoid, players are utilizing [**Lunar Phase *Lunar Eclipse***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1794) and [**Lunar Phase *Full Moon***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1497), which resulted in making their way into our Top 12 Runes Represented. As players rely on card effects that search their decks for key tools, [**Pandora's Box**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-284) has become a key staple to include in most Main Decks.
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/2e7cd5a8-52c4-4ca1-8cd2-d68b423a893a/upload-1767529945286.jpg)

Your Side Deck is one of the most important tools for your Elestrals Deck. Cards like [**Tsunami**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1127) and [**Cryoblast**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-818) are incredible Runes against decks that don't represent a heavy presence of Water or Frost Spirits. By utilizing these in your Side Deck, you can add them between games when opposing decks are more appropriate.

01/03 Premier Results: Frosty Shake Up to Kick Off 2026!

Welcome Casters,

We’re here with an unplanned update to the Tartarus banned/restricted list that will be effective on January 19th. While our [previous update](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__6ccf0833-9bc6-4991-b8ac-a5821e0beb65) stated that we were targeting a February 2026 window for our next round of changes, the adjustments we made to the format unfortunately had a very different impact from what we were hoping for the Lifestream competitive format. *For those who haven’t read that article, we’ll link it [here](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__6ccf0833-9bc6-4991-b8ac-a5821e0beb65).*

To put it plainly, our previous update missed the mark on nearly all fronts. The limits that were implemented didn’t achieve our intended goals of effectively lowering the power level of impacted decks - Frost players were adversely affected only if they were playing “pure” [Morphrost](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Morphrost&base_card=true) variants, while anyone running [Tadpuff](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-553) or [Tadfloe](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-269) found that the 1-of limit was not enough to meaningfully change the deck’s strength. The [Kindleo](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-515) and [Equilynx](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-537) un-limits created board situations in which one player couldn’t meaningfully escape from the pressure of incremental advantage. Most significantly, the [Lycavoid *Champion of Artemis*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1662) unban warped deck construction regardless of whether players were running the card or trying to stop it.

Our initial analysis and testing with this banlist led us to the wrong conclusions about the projected shape of the format. Additionally, our understanding of what players liked (or didn’t like) about the Lifestream format (pre-December Ban List) was flawed and led us to the wrong conclusions. Ultimately, we have to take accountability and we apologize deeply for the mistakes and challenges we caused.

Now it’s time to make things right! Elestrals is committed as a company to being player-first, and it’s not too late to create healthier gameplay dynamics that better match the vision of what we all want the Elestrals Trading Card Game to be. We’ve been hard at work monitoring recent event data, observing and testing gameplay, compiling player feedback, and contextualizing the current format with future cards. **As a result, today we have the largest banned and restricted list update in the history of the Elestrals Trading Card Game.**

While this article will have streamlined explanations for the rationale behind our changes, please note that those looking for a truly in-depth rationale will want to check out the Podcast update video on our YouTube channel [[HERE](https://youtu.be/3mmkr1e4z20)]. Our Creator and CEO, aDrive, and Community Director, RidiculousHat, have conducted a deep dive into the entire process of constructing this new banlist, so if you’re looking for details, please check it out!

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3mmkr1e4z20?si=FMflYznu6NdRSLX9" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
```
 
This update has two primary goals:

* Pull back overly efficient threats and the cards that enable them.
* Limit or remove cards that create and/or compound repetitive game states.

The Elestrals Trading Card Game currently has too much of both of these things, which has resulted in gameplay that is balanced on a knife’s edge. The window for interaction is far too brief and the onus is on the defending player to have an answer early or the game is just over.

It should be noted that the adjustments we plan today are not meant to pull back on the synergy that *Divine Champions: Lifestream* introduced around decks with more cohesive gameplans. In *Divine Champions: Firestorm* (and earlier sets), often the best strategy was to create “good stuff pile” decks where the only cards worth playing were efficient 1-Spirit Elestrals and removal cards. We don’t want the game to return to this state and we don’t expect it to, but we do want games to last a little longer so players have a better chance to get invested in the outcome and have more opportunities to interact.

With our analysis and testing with this banlist, we’re also redefining how we select which cards to Ban/Limit/Semi-Limit. In the past, we’ve been very hesitant to outright ban cards, but after extensive analysis and playtesting we determined that it’s the correct action to take in certain circumstances.

Here’s how we define what we do with cards that are deemed problematic:

* A card is subject to be **Banned** if it has a powerful, game-warping effect when naturally drawn, AND if it’s highly powerful when searched. These cards are often unhealthy game pieces that cannot be modulated in a healthy way. Cards that are banned this way will be marked as candidates for an “Escaped From Tartarus” titled cards in the future, however, not all cards will receive this title.
* A card is subject for a **Limit** if it’s part of a game piece that aids healthy gameplans as a singular card, but has too much of a compounding advantage when up to 3 can be applied. We expect players to include cards like this in their strategies as search targets and shouldn’t be game-defining when drawn naturally over the course of a game.
* A card is subject for a **Semi-limit** if it’s disproportionately impactful only when played with multiple copies. Semi-limits are the most unusual change we could make and we are exploring other ways to use this tool (including philosophical adjustments like the one we’re making today)!

Please keep these goals and this logic in mind for all 18 card changes we’re making today. With the volume of adjustments being made, explanations on this article will be shorter, however for further details on specific rationale, please check out the podcast [[HERE](https://youtu.be/3mmkr1e4z20)].

### Sent to Tartarus:

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/67d4d2a3-3885-4331-902f-4d3ee119933e/upload-1767959520636.png)
**Lycavoid *Champion of Artemis***

The most recent escapee is going back to Tartarus, as the explosive effect was simply too much for the format to bear.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/ffdaef56-66a6-4c60-93be-3eb526e15972/upload-1767959580413.png)![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/5641d763-a4e5-479b-a951-bc810472b82b/upload-1767959587275.png)
**Tadpuff** and **Tadfloe**

These two cards have proven to be consistently troublesome in giving both Water and Frost an unfair advantage. Casting 2-Spirit Elestrals should require more setup than simply drawing the Tad, and even at 1 copy, these cards broke the core rules of the game.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/ecd4010c-f438-4258-b5d4-27dcb3426029/upload-1767959604792.png)
**Eyewoolly *Champion of Khione***

Frost self-mill has been a consistent source of player concern due to its highly variant output and huge volume of stats seemingly out of nowhere. Eyewoolly *Champion of Khione* does not have enough limitations on its effect and will be a prime candidate for an Escaped From Tartarus version.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/5547c39c-46ac-4245-aef0-36e0dc095361/upload-1767959644831.png)
**Cedarsaur**

Cedarsaur is an older card with a design that we’re not happy with, as it was highly variant both for the player running the card and their opponent. We intend for this change to keep the Blizzstrix line intact for casual play but remove the deck from high-level competitive environments.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/e261beae-6558-43f3-80f8-bd27e8b0a405/upload-1767959679292.png)
**Tornadjinn**

While Solar has not put up tournament results in large numbers since Rise From the Ashes was banned, our playtesting indicated that it was a strong contender for the best remaining deck after these changes and Windjinn into Tornadjinn was a big part of why. We’re removing this fast ascension from Lifestream, but Windjinn enjoyers won’t have to wait long… Tornadjinn *Champion of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_* will join Elestrals with the release of *Divine Champions: Sunstrike*.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/58b6a15c-f80c-4526-88cd-ca22044aa791/upload-1767959738007.png)
**Lavalith**

Even as a single copy, this card was swinging games so powerfully that it became the most played Elestral in our recent premiers. Many decks were finding room for Fire Spirits to splash this card along with Chains of Prometheus and the game-swinging effect of Lavalith was too powerful to remain.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/a2f244f5-0826-44cd-b222-333f98e1d40f/upload-1767959746852.png)
**Nectar of the Gods**

We want Elestrals to be a slower game, but Nectar of the Gods does not. As Lifestream has progressed, we’ve seen more and more players turn to Nectar of the Gods to churn through their decks, get extra copies of their key pieces, and trade in Spirits for a faster clock. It’s time for these deck slots to go back to other cards.

- - -

### Limited to 1 per deck:

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/b8c6043a-9c30-408a-a145-407188856102/upload-1767959807451.png)
**Morphrost *Lycan Form***

Our intention for the Morphrost *Batt Form* hit was to keep Morphrost from routinely making multiple boards of Chimeras, but instead we ended up with the best Morphrost decks barely dipping into the package and leveraging the power of Lycan Form to make room for other cards. We’d rather players feel more compelled to focus on “pure” gameplans that lean into all the different forms available - and with only 1 Lycan, you’re not guaranteed to find the extra copies.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/32308662-695f-4255-8bd9-c4798dcdc077/upload-1767959887490.png)
**Kryovyrn**

Our final Frost hit goes for a much older card that was used in many Frost “goodstuff” decks. While the Kryoscorch ascension line isn’t being removed entirely, multiple copies of Kryoling into Kryovyrn often created big board swings with multiple 7-stat attackers appearing out of nowhere. With only one copy of Kryovyrn available, there’s a higher cost to this inclusion and a lower potential ceiling.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/6c1fd2c5-e929-433c-bd9c-9edfdf33f1ec/upload-1767959947454.png)
**Lochagon**

Even with the Tadpuff limit, Lochagon remained a very powerful deck that established itself quickly and created repetitive game states. With only one copy of Lochagon, we expect decks to play more dynamically, and Water players have options to keep Lochagon in play with a bit more effort.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/e33fc284-af02-4b9c-8fb7-fe63dc41bf98/upload-1767959984712.png)
**Solar Burst**

Solar Burst is highly efficient non-targeting removal Rune that plays into Solar’s strengths in multiple ways for a single Spirit. It felt oppressive in multiples, so we’re limiting it to 1 to encourage Solar players to find other options to help keep their board clear.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/36ba9643-2458-4d5b-9be1-a9b2a5f68de9/upload-1767960023633.png)
**Eruption**

Along with Frost Self-mill, the community feedback around Eruption might be louder than anything else in the game. Direct damage can be very frustrating when it compounds at a critical mass to take larger chunks of life all at once, but at a single copy, it remains a viable tool for a modified Smoltuga/Krakatuga deck to search for. (In addition, there is a new titled non-burn Eruption coming in *Divine Champions: Sunstrike* that creates an entirely new and different strategy!)

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/dadb4d09-c7cb-4a1d-bca9-5064039c1742/upload-1767960098853.png)![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/4f7d5f96-268b-47d6-855c-6922e55d9c59/upload-1767960101029.png)
**Equilynx** and **Kindleo**

We took a risk Un-limiting these cards in our previous update, and they may have been more acceptable in a stronger format, however, we’re now sending them back and limiting to 1 copy. Kindleo’s power at keeping Elestrals off the board repeatedly is quite clear, but Equilynx has a more subtle chilling effect on deckbuilding choice. With 3 Equilynx present in any earth deck, it becomes much harder to justify bringing a divine-heavy playstyle like Hermes or Apollo to a tournament. We want players to feel reasonably safe investing into these Divines and other on-board Spirit banks.

- - -

### Semi-Limited to 2 per deck:

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/5391ba8a-ff49-4960-9b07-b5b7e5b8222e/upload-1767960256454.png)
**Ambrosia**

This is a unique philosophical change that we’re making in alignment with our goals of this banlist as well as our larger picture vision of an Elestrals with fewer deck-defining Omni Runes. Capping Ambrosia at 2 won’t change many current decklists or strategies, but we forecast the card becoming much more relevant after the above updates go into effect. As we said before, we don’t want “good stuff” decks to be the best way to play and so we’re limiting Ambrosia to softly pull back on an Omni Rune that can “Element fix” and allow players to run a wider array of Spirit splashes than would normally be comfortable. It’s still important for players to have access to healing and fixing, but 3 of these should not be considered a guarantee.

- - -

### Un-Limited:

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/00ebfa41-a6c3-4b37-ae76-0310cd6c9ebc/upload-1767960365026.png)
**Morphrost *Batt Form***

Our intention for the Morphrost *Batt Form* hit was to keep Morphrost from routinely making multiple boards of Chimeras, but instead we ended up with the best Morphrost decks barely dipping into the package and leveraging the power of Lycan Form to make room for other cards. We're bringing this card back to three and limiting Lycan Form to one.

 
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/491efb63-9a9c-471e-b395-7aa78cba30a7/upload-1767960381262.png)
**Vysceris**

This card was limited when the Elestrals Trading Card Game was in a different environment, where efficient 5-Attack Elestrals were more impactful and compounded a larger advantage. This is less of a unique effect in the modern day of Elestrals TCG and there are more readily available answers. Vysceris is now being Un-Limited to give Earth a small boost.

*For clarity, Race to the Top is remaining Un-Limited and is unchanged from the previous banlist.*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/56a5ed22-ec3c-45a9-aa59-cfea9de4e775/upload-1767965482891.png)
In addition to the above 18 changes, we wanted to give you a rationale on why we are **not making any adjustments to the current list of Counter Runes**. With the volume of changes above, we expect a foundational shift to take place in the *Divine Champions: Lifestream* metagame and we need to ensure that we don’t try to overdo it and change everything at once. With the planned focus on longer games, we do expect Counter Runes to feel less sharp overall, as they’ll be less of a necessary tool in the early turns of the game. We will be keeping a close eye on these cards, especially [Blizzard *Whiteout*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1811), which was a noted and visible concern from some corners of the community. While we understand the pressure that this card creates on player ability to interact, we believe that this was exacerbated by the sheer volume of overly efficient threats that Frost had access to. We’ll continue to monitor closely to determine if the problem was Whiteout or if it was rather what Whiteout was protecting.

We do still have a design goal to move away from seeing the same Omni Runes over and over in every decklist, particularly [Gorgon’s Gaze](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2210) \- but until we create pieces that can effectively replace what we know and until we can evaluate the new Lifestream format\, we’d rather avoid meddling with cards that helped to shape the core Elestrals gameplay that got us here in the first place\.

This update to the Tartarus banlist has an effective date of **Monday, January 19th**, immediately after our [**Lifestream Store Regionals**](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__4ae9911b-17f0-4cdf-b121-d3bea4d7673b) conclude.

The January 20th, **Weekly Casual Tournament** (via the [Elestrals Discord](https://discord.gg/ZN4Hk358qc)) will be the first official Elestrals event to utilize this new banlist, shortly followed by the first [**Premier Tournament**](https://play.elestrals.com/events/e4db40b0-e2d0-4c0d-bf48-85ffcacf2e2e) (on January 24th). We hope and anticipate that this will be the final banlist for the [**2026 World Championships**](https://www.shopelestrals.com/pages/world-championship-2026) (in late March) and that our next scheduled Ban List update will take place after the release of *Divine Champions: Sunstrike* (Spring-2026).

We thank you again for your feedback, your support, and your understanding while we take the time to get things right!

This Online Premier was also the first Premier to debut the January 19th [**Card  Restriction update**](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__e7d76083-d509-4a3c-952a-3f311f200286), where popular cards like [**Lavalith**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1015), [**Eyewoolly *Champion of Khione***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1894), and [**Tornadjinn**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1477) were all Banned and Sent to Tartarus! Let's take a closer look at the data breakdowns to see how the meta has evolved.

### Champion's Spotlight

Harnessing the forces of the Earth Element with Dionysus, Ladogon, and Centaurbor, **Brulock** has become your new **Premier Champion of 2026**! 🏆
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/ef55ff5a-d6d5-4336-87bb-187848df8a94/upload-1769344030427.jpg)

**Brulock** built a powerful mono-Earth strategy and was able to unleash the full might of [**Dionysus**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1852), and his Champions, to claim ultimate victory!
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/3740469c-2dd8-46ce-a111-81b0ed6e06a6/upload-1769344170788.jpg)

### Top Decks and Archetypes
 
Following a major shake-up in the meta, Casters explored new decks and strategies for this Premier Tournament. For the first time in a while, *Champions of Zeus* and *Solar Mill* became fan favorites and made their way into the Top 6 Decks.
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/457d217b-0e3e-4900-bc49-fe983ad55790/upload-1769344326611.jpg)
However, taking the crown as the most represented deck was *Fish Nexus*! This was a strategy that revolved around [**Apheros**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-262), [**Apheros *Champion of Aphrodite***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1808), [**Magneros *Champion of Aphrodite***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1838), and [**Aphrodite**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1854) herself. The popularity of Fish Nexus was so high we created a new chart to highlight the six archetypes, each featuring a different win-condition and strategy.

Despite only being represented by one Caster, the *Fish Nexus - Zephrog* deck made it all the way to the Grand Finals and become your runner up!
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/b03d31cb-2d31-4f9b-aba8-93f6d30ff208/upload-1769344370109.png)

### Top 12 Cards Featured

Building a deck from scratch and ensuring you're featuring the key Elestrals and Runes needed for your strategy can be a challenge. Utilize these breakdowns featuring the Top 12 Cards (in Main Deck and Side Deck) to help construct your perfect deck!

Thanks the recent restriction changes, new Elestrals have taken the spotlight in our Top 12 Elestrals Represented. [**Astrabbit**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-395), [**Vysceris**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-236), and [**Gnawbie**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1431) are all back in the top. These Elestrals provide a lot of utility and power against opponents, and it's no surprise Casters are eager to explore their use in their deck builds.
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/a24a41e2-5be9-4005-8747-c09c2231725e/upload-1769345200302.jpg)

 
Runes play a vital role in a Casters deck and can turn the tides of a Clash with a single play. [**Aphrodite**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1854)and [**Dionysus**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1852)are key Divine Runes that play an essential part of the *Fish Nexus* and [**Centaurbor**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1796)/[**Ladogon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1876)/[**Waspivy** ](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1813)deck archetypes. With Waspivy gaining a surge in popularity, cards like [**Poison Tipped Arrow**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-511) and [**Poison Tipped Arrow *Artemis' Arrow***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1850), had a heavy presence and made the Top 12.

Your Side Deck is one of the most important parts for your Elestrals Deck. Constructing these can be a challenge as you have to be able to adapt to almost any opposing deck, while ensuring it still supports your main strategy. To help you choose what cards can be most effective to include, please check out the Top 12 Side Cards that Casters we're utilizing.

### Duggabyss

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/cbeacc0a-c186-4ca2-baa2-4ee8688cc4db/upload-1770649104775.png)
It's Earthquake on legs! Meet **Duggabyss**, a powerful new Earth Elestral and the Ascension of [Duggy](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2432). This behemoth Elestral can Special Ascend over your Earth Elestrals when it is sent from your deck to your Underworld. Once on the field, you can target and destroy any opposing Elestral with a magnitude strike as it burrows through the ground! This is an Elestral you don't want to cross paths with!

- - -

### Noxid

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/62d46866-0264-4883-b06f-d94a43dfc09f/upload-1770650693745.png)
Meet **Noxid**! A new mischievous little Fire Elestral with a striking new effect and secret. Considering its powerful stats, though, there’s good reason to be cautious when going up against this Elestral. When Cast, you can discard a card in your had in order to target another Fire or Thunder card in your Underworld and return back to your hand. There's a lot of viable cards that this works well with and some can even help unleash a greater threat!

- - -

### Starbit *Champion of Aphrodite*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/89cc2859-caaa-4efe-b254-e07e1ee0849c/upload-1770650701227.png)
Floating alongside the Goddess of Love, Starbit *Champion of Aphrodite* is looking as adorable as ever in this incredible new card, as together they watch the night sky! This new Starbit is one of Aphrodite's beloved Champions and holds an incredible effect that provides [Starbit *Supernova*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1471)unmatched protentional! As long as this new Starbit and [Aphrodite](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1854) are Enchanted, all Starbit's on your side of the field cannot be returned to the hand by opposing card effects. PLUS! Once per turn, you can Expend a Water Spirit in order to Special Cast another Starbit from your hand. (In other words, Special Cast Starbit *Supernova* and strike down your opponents!)

- - -

### Phosvocell *Ultracharged*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/1a58f4a7-95fb-4aae-a603-8d70b715f839/upload-1770650710142.png)
As this is the Thunder and Solar expansion for Elestrals TCG, it's only right we have our favorite Insectoid/Dragon Elestral return! After basking in the sunlight, storing its warmth and transforming it into pure electricity, Phosvocell is now Ultracharged and stronger than ever before! Not only does it have better stats, but a powerful effect too. Whenever Phosvocell is destroyed you can target cards on the field up to the number Solar Spirits that were Enchanting it and then destroy them all. While on the field and Enchanted with two or more Solar Spirits, Phosvocell cannot be returned to the hand and it's attacks cannot be Negated. They don't call it "Ultracharged" for nothing!

- - -

### Lumaveil

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/865d781e-8b9e-405b-ac8b-34cc2e18b235/upload-1770650719266.png)
Sunstrike will feature a number of new cards and Elestrals that were inspired by members of the Elestrals Community. One of these were created by DistantCoder (of the [Elestronauts](https://x.com/Elestronauts)). Working alongside our development team, DistantCoder helped bring to life Lumaveil! A Lunar and Solar Elestral with a one-of-a-kind effect that could tremendous power in a Clash. When a player plays a card that shares the same name as a card in either players' Underworld, you can Expend a Solar Spirit to Negate their effect on chain. (This card plays very similarly to the Counter Rune, [Chains of Prometheus](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1123), where you're able to Negate opponents Counter Rune effects.) But if that effect alone wasn't enough, Lumaveil has the ability to return a Lunar Spirit from your Underworld back to your Spirit Deck if you Expend one or more Solar Spirits to activate an effect. If not carefully managed, Lumaveil could become very wicked and cause chaos for your opponents!

### Top Decks and Archetypes

With the Lifestream meta continuing to take shape, Casters favored a mix of familiar and new strategies, highlighted by *Fish Nexus* topping the field and *Outback Sunset* emerging as a new contender in the Top 6 Decks.
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/999894a7-d464-4079-82ae-83f6bf678e60/upload-1770561671284.jpg)

Once again, *Fish Nexus* emerged as the most represented deck archetype of the Premier, solidifying its position at the top of the meta. With multiple variants in play, Casters explored a wide range of builds, each centered around a distinct win condition and strategic focus, such as: [**Kurabyss**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-724), [**Lochagon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1789), [**Capregal**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1792), [**Whalance**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-396), [**Zephrog**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-705), and [**Jawblin**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1468).

Among these, the *Fish Nexus – Jawblin* variant stood out, converting its single representation into a tournament-winning performance.

### Top 12 Cards Featured

Building a deck from scratch and ensuring you're featuring the key Elestrals and Runes needed for your strategy can be a challenge. Utilize these breakdowns featuring the Top 12 Cards (in Main Deck and Side Deck) to help construct your perfect deck!

Thanks to the sudden rise in Solar Deck Archetypes (like *Outback Sunset* and *Celestleo Foretell*), several Solar Elestrals have made their way into the Top 12 Represented Elestrals, and joined some of our popular residents.
![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/e8213802-48a0-40f5-8e33-9a33bda43f97/upload-1770562400492.jpg)

Runes play a vital role in a Caster's deck and can turn the tides of a Clash with a single play. Making their way to the Top 12 (for the first time since its release) is the Stadium Rune, [**Temple of the Sun**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-941). With the power to increase the Attack and Defense of all Solar Elestrals on the field, it became a staple in most Solar deck archetypes.

### Sulfury

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/5ac9cba0-d759-4c4c-88ca-d32ccc3a1c39/upload-1770657224164.png)
Elestrals' first ever Fire / Thunder Elestral has arrived and will be appearing in Divine Champions—Sunstrike. [**Sulfury**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2436) is the final Ascension to [Noxid](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2434) and holds a fierce effect that allows it Special Ascend itself onto the field if a Sulfury was also returned from your Underworld to your hand this turn. There a few unique ways to trigger this effect, one of which is synergizing with [**Brimscale**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2435).

### Guardawn *Champion of Ares*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/971595dd-1406-4ef8-b0dc-fab12fd109aa/upload-1770657550545.png)
You can't charge into battle without your shield and Ares has brought his best on the frontline! [**Guardawn *Champion of Ares***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1932) can be Normal Cast to the field thanks to the effects of [Armadawn *Champion of Ares*](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1933). Together they make a powerful combo that will allow you to have Guardawn shield your incoming attacks with its effect.

### Armament of Ares *Spear of Piercing*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/3cc118db-e4b3-484d-88d8-59e128574de5/upload-1770658282212.png)
Ares introduces a wide range of new strategies and cards to the Elestrals Trading Card Game, one of those being his Armaments. The Armaments of Ares are special Artifacts forged for the God of War himself to support his Champions. The [**Spear of Piercing**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2424) provides its Empowered Elestral +2 Attack and gives it the power of Piercing (allowing it to deal Spirit damage through Defense position Elestrals). While on the field with Ares himself, the Solar Spirits Enchanting this Armament of Ares Artifact are also considered Enchanting the Elestral its Empowered to. This can allow some powerful strikes to your opponents Spirit Deck!

- - -

### Dragallus *Champion of Ares*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/6b7863bf-442c-4555-a232-67c73cf80c08/upload-1770658776436.png)
Things are heating up on the battlefield! [**Dragallus *Champion of Ares***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2548) has arrived and brings a fierce effect that can allow you to destroy up to two cards on the field if you also Disenchant that many Fire or Solar Spirits from your Stadiums or Artifact Runes! With a powerful 12 Attack stat, Dragallus has the strength to burn through almost anything in its path!

- - -

### Elemental Spirits

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/a5ac08b7-5e45-4f1b-ae56-3edc3fa913d2/upload-1770659081293.png)
Every Casters' deck requires a 20-card Spirit deck to Enchant and Empower their cards. In *Divine Champions—Sunstrike*, eight stunning new Spirits arts illustrated by Pau Jiménez will be available. These depict (for the first time ever) multiple Spirits in the art, each showing unique surroundings from the world of Elestrals. You can see all eight Spirits via [Elestrals Collect](https://collect.elestrals.com/sets/DC03).

Look out for Sneak Peaks from Sunstrike!

## Drakking, Kurabyss, and Tornadjinn *Champion of Aeolus*, and More from *Divine Champions: Sunstrike*!

The upcoming Elestrals TCG expansion, Divine Champions—Sunstrike, welcomes over 120 cards to the arena, including several new Champions that are eager to be unleashed. Our [first](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__5d60d4e6-a1ef-45d0-8ceb-2d2fa3fd487b) and [second](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__39560f17-d5b8-46d1-8402-8e79cf3eaa11) previews have unveiled over 45 new cards, but there's still plenty more to see! Today, we're showcasing some powerful new cards that could create quite a splash in the upcoming meta. 🌊

- - -

### Drakking *Champion of Poseidon*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/76bbe23d-e5d0-4cee-81c7-e80d023f391c/upload-1771188892667.png)
For the first time ever, you can manipulate Spirits on your opponent's field! [**Drakking *Champion of Poseidon***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2430) introduces a whole new mechanic, allowing its Caster to Nexus a Spirit from an opponent's card onto this Drakking. This can create some powerful scenarios when paired with fellow [Champions of Poseidon](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Champion%20of%20Poseidon&base_card=false) or the King of Atlantis himself, [**Poseidon**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1110).

- - -

### Kurabyss

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/c755c579-87f7-400b-95d4-20cf0b2304aa/upload-1771189216282.png)
**Eddy** and [**Kurabyss**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2431) are BACK and stronger than ever! Here with a colossal new illustration swallowing a convoy of Argo boats, this new Kurabyss has the power to change the battle position of any Elestral on the field, and then Enchant itself with more Water Spirits from the Underworld, to further enhance its destructive damage against your opponents! Thanks to the effects of the new [**Eddy**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2390), Kurabyss can be Special Cast to the field, unlocking its torrential power even faster.

- - -

### Rhinosect *Champion of Hermes*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/f804050c-f664-42da-8bb8-f79dd0ec574f/upload-1771190072491.png)
Time to build a snowman with Hermes! [**Rhinosect *Champion of Hermes***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2549) brings an all-new layer of finesse to [**Hermes**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1686) strategies, by combining with the chilling forces of the Frost element. This icy Insectoid Champion can become an Artifact and Empower an Elestral on the field, providing it with an instant +4 Attack bonus! Despite being a Frost Elestral, this Rhinosect also counts as a Wind Elestral, which can create some unique playstyles when featured in Wind archetypes.

- - -

### Bag of Winds *Back in the Bag!*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/30ff26d0-fb53-49d9-b903-f6af4f8f4b0e/upload-1771192079821.png)
What goes around, comes around! [**Bag of Winds *Back in the Bag!***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2556) is an all-new titled variant of the Artifact Rune, [**Bag of Winds**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-986). Despite sharing the same name, this new titled card brings pure acceleration for your Aeolus Champions and strategies! Scoop up an Enchanted Wind Elestral and then immediately let loose a Champion of Aeolus, and unleash heavy gusts against your opponents!

- - -

### Tornadjinn *Champion of Aeolus*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/ae2d960d-03c0-43ae-b3f2-b77b969f30a2/upload-1771191244735.png)
Tornadjinn has returned (as promised) with an all-new Champion title! [**Tornadjinn *Champion of Aeolus***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2380) is the ultimate high-roller in Sunstrike! Once per turn, you can expend a Wind & Solar Spirit to target three cards on the field and then let fate decide the outcome. A chaotic gust that can either launch a card back to its owners hand or reward you with 3 new draws.

See New Cards coming to Elestrals TCG!

## Discover Electropossum, Ashrabbit (Champion of Hestia), and NEW Runes (such as, Katabasis)!

More exciting cards coming in our seventh expansion, Divine Champions—Sunstrike, have been unveiled! Over 65 cards have been revealed so far, and following today's preview, another 14 are on the way! Let's take a look at a handful of these new cards under the spotlight.

- - -

### Ashrabbit *Champion of Hestia*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/f44fac53-1b86-47fe-9376-27a9b1e75196/upload-1771799504485.png)
This may be the Thunder and Solar set, but we haven't forgotten about the Fire! [**Hestia**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1696) is getting a couple new Champions in *Divine Champions: Sunstrike*, one of which is this incredible Ashrabbit. With the ability to provide your fellow Fire Elestrals +2 Attack (at all time), PLUS, Enchant your field with more Fire Spirits each time a Fire Elestral is Cast, [**Ashrabbit *Champion of Hestia***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1974) is looking to really turn up the heat in the upcoming meta!

- - -

### Raiceridge *Champion of Hera*

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/0ccb7f66-47ab-4f81-a334-1dae9633f2cd/upload-1771799790804.png)
Utilize the forces of the Foretell mechanic with the all-new [**Raiceros *Champion of Hera***](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1954)! This Raiceridge can be Special Ascended to your field from your Champion [**Raiceros**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1904). Once on the field, Raiceridge can return more Thunder Spirits from your field back to your Spirit Deck (further enabling the effects of other [Champion of Hera cards](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards?query=Champion%20of%20Hera&base_card=false)), and then add a Thunder or Frost card Foretold that way. What kind of Frost cards would you expect to see...? Time will tell.

- - -

### Scepter of Hera

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/4ab60aa2-4cfc-46f3-b202-b2d56f7fd9c7/upload-1771800961398.png)
One of the strongest **Artifact Runes** is coming to *Divine Champions: Sunstrike*! The [**Scepter of Hera**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2425) has a unique effect where only one can be active on your field at any single time. This Scepter provides an Empowered Elestral +2 Attack and Defense, and further supports the Active Effects of your [**Hera**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1903) (Divine Rune).

- - -

### Katabasis

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/2e433a0a-0a6d-4012-9440-926d1e6de2cc/upload-1771801212176.png)
Players have been itching for a way to interact with an opponent's Underworld and now the time has come! [**Katabasis**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1967) is a Lunar Counter Rune with the power to force a player to send up to 3 Elestrals and/or Runes in their Underworld, straight to the bottom of their deck. This provides a perfect counter to certain deck archetypes and strategies (such as, [Hermes](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1686), which love to send their cards to the Underworld to later Special Cast). There are many possibilities with this card and we cannot wait to see how players utilize it.

- - -

### Electropossum

![alt text test](https://cdn.cerealapis.com/page/4ff2ecb2-7128-44cb-90d5-3a98d80f1d07/upload-1771801575400.png)
A brand-new Elestral has charged onto the field. Introducing, [**Electropossum**](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2555)! This fierce Elestral is the Thunder Nexus Form of [Ectopossum](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-1443), and the Ascension of [Zippossum](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-2554). Electropossum can strike opponents where it hurts and destroy their precious cards when you Enchant a Thunder Spirit to this Electropossum and then send one of your own Thunder Runes to their Underworld. It's a heavy price to pay, but the result is electrifying!
