Each has their own deck, cards can be chosen from the different colours of mana decks and cards can be used with any class despite their original starting deck, meaning you can build the character to your preferred playstyle. You have a total of 12 cards in your deck, with 4 spells being active at a time, which cycle randomly. Each class has their own starting deck dependant on their magic type, but later you can start to build with the spells of your choice.
White Spells – Manifest the restorative power of light in order to heal allies.
Blue Spells – Cloud the minds of opposing enemies and exert control on the battlefield.
Black Spells – Use necromantic power to reanimate the dead and drain life.
Red Spells – Harness destructive elemental forces to deal direct damage
Green Spells – Embrace the ferocity of the wild to summon and nourish massive creatures.
It was also shared that when Magic: Legends launches, it will feature 175 spells, 50 artifacts, 165 pieces of equipment, along with four planes and five separate regions.
