EMBER CROWN Six factions. Three lanes. One crown. In a fractured realm of monsters, magic, and dying kingdoms, the Ember Crown sits empty — and every faction wants it. Build your deck, command your forces, and prove your faction worthy of rule in a dark fantasy collectible card game of strategy and survival. CORE GAMEPLAY - Three-lane combat — every card placement is a tactical decision - Six unique factions, 144+ cards, 18 commanders to master - Solo Campaign with story-driven progression - Battle Mode against decks built by other commanders CHOOSE YOUR FACTION VANGUARD KINGDOMS Disciplined infantry and faithful crusaders. Hold the line, protect the realm, strike with precision. IRON PACT Dwarven kings forge weapons of legend deep beneath the mountains. Heavy armor, heavier hammers. ARBOREA KINGDOM Elves and earthen guardians who turn nature itself against invaders. Slow to anger. Devastating when roused. ASHEN SWARM Necromancers, witches, and the restless dead. They do not seek the throne. They seek the end of all life. OBSIDIAN EMPIRE Dark wizards, dragon-bound warlords, and the humans who serve them. Brute force amplified by ancient magic. FERAL HALLOW Blood witches, monstrosities, and corrupting magic. They do not conquer the realm — they consume it. FREE TO PLAY Earn cards through gameplay. Watch optional ads to double your match rewards. Solo play with no time pressure. The Ember Crown awaits a worthy commander. The realm is dying. Will you save it — or rule the ashes?
