added"Under my flag, powder is cheap, lives cheaper, victory certain." - Kevraid, The Corsair Liege Steam post imageWith the new Update 0.98.0, we’re bringing new features, card balance changes, and a brand-new Legend: Kevraid ! After dealing 5 effect damage to enemies, Kevraid can be summoned to unleash chaos across the battlefield. This ruthless Mantes Corsair spreads explosive pressure with chained damage effects, and thanks to Twilight, his abilities continue activating during the End Phase to keep the enemy under constant threat.
