From the heart of Tamriel, Imperials are educated and wealthy. Since they can afford to build and outfit vast, powerful armies, Imperials like to strike in force. These Willpower- and Endurance-based cards are designed to fill lanes, and though some of their creatures are low-cost and weak, many Imperial cards act as buffs, which can turn a few grunt cards into something much more dangerous.[1]
For more information, see the main lore article.
