In brief
- Eleven Legendaries are in the Demo 2.0, the build of Origins TCG you can play today: six cost 4 mana, one costs 5, three cost 7 and one costs 8.
- Ten are units and one is a spell, Legion of the Dead. Five are Good, three Evil and three Neutral.
- Four of them create other cards through their text: Dracula, Van Helsing, Legion of the Dead and Three Not So Little Pigs.
- Seven changed in the balance patches between August and 21 September 2026; Dracula, Van Helsing, Legion of the Dead and Robin Hood did not. Patch 0.7 of 29 September 2026 did not rebalance any of the eleven.
- The 20 decks published on OriginsMeta by 20:00 CEST on 25 September 2026 use ten of the eleven: Three Not So Little Pigs leads four, Van Helsing three, Wicked Stepmother none. Six Legendaries have an OriginsMeta guide to one of their decks.
The Legendaries below are in order of cost and, at the same cost, in alphabetical order. The guide describes what each card does, not how strong it is: our Origins TCG tier list will rank them from tournament results and the top of the ranked ladder, starting after the Crimson Cup.

What the Legendary does in a deck
- One per deck. A deck is one Legendary plus twelve base cards, and the game adds a second copy of each base card: 25 cards in play, according to the Koin Games team AMA. The deck builder checks the rule.
- Your opponent sees it. Patch 0.6.1 of the closed playtest (14 August 2026) added a preview of the opponent's Legendary during the mulligan, according to the official patch notes.
- In Conquest it names the deck. At the Crimson Cup each player brings three decks, and when you ban one of your opponent's decks you only see its Legendary (Crimson Cup rules). The announcements don't say whether the three Legendaries must differ; at Big Bob's Playtest Battle they had to. How to put three decks together: our Conquest guide.
The card texts quoted below are the official ones, read in the game; costs and stats were checked card by card on 22 September 2026. Sagas and the notes on each legend are OriginsMeta's own. The patches are those tracked in MetaShifting: playtest updates 0.6.1, 0.6.2 and 0.6.3 (August 2026), the demo patch of 21 September 2026 and patch 0.7 of 29 September 2026, which did not rebalance any Legendary. The legendary power is not covered here: we have not transcribed it from the game yet, and each card page will show it when we do.
