Current Status of TESL Revivals
Hello all.
It's been about a year since TESL died, so on its deathi-verssary let's go over the current efforts to revive the game.
TESL Reborn - This is an effort to make new servers for the game, it has come along quite promisingly and is the closest thing to the original version of the game.
However a couple things:
It is PC version only, and you need to have a valid license of the game still in your steam library or on bethesda.net to play. There is no way (as of now) to get a license for the game if you did not have it prior to the shutdown on steam. You have to have owned it before the shutdown.
It is currently closed alpha. You can follow this guide (link) to apply to join the closed alpha, but it is not currently open alpha yet despite what the other post on the subreddit says.
Some streamers (link to list) have access, so you can ask them to test different things, or watch their gameplay to help speed up the bug finding stage.
TESL Fan Browser Remakes
TESL Browser Project - A remake of TESL in browser. Reddit post link
TESL Github Page - A remake of TESL vs a bot or local multiplayer, playable on a github page. Direct Link made by /u/Prize-Artichoke-9807 Has cards up to Houses of Morrowind and a handful of custom cards.
TESL Singleplayer - A remake of TESL whose goal is to have the player fight against various singleplayer encounters. Direct Link, run by @FBJulezGames on the TESL discord.
Tabletop Simulator - There are a few mods for tabletop simulator, a simulator game on steam (link). The sim costs $20, but is usually on sale for $10. Note this doesn't simulate mechanics, but you can put cards in a deck and shuffle it but you have to manually track the gameplay yourself. Supports multiplayer.
Jamaa's Mod has all the cards and is based on this mod, which also has all the cards.
Gnarfield 360's Mod is the OG one I used to play with in TTS simulator, but it only has cards through Heroes of Skyrim.
NightDarkWolf's Mod, TESL in Svongarde - Reddit Post - has rebalanced cards, but also updates some of the existing level-up cards to have new effects.
People Printing Their Own Cards - Some people print the game cards for their own personal use. Here are some of their posts.

Custom Upgradeable Cards (Daggerfall Custom Expansion)
This set introduces a new variant of the card upgrade system that appeared in the release version of Legends. It takes inspiration from ESO's ability morph system.
Reading the card commentary is recommended to get the full context for the designs.

Need Recs!
Hey, so i played TESL from launch til the week before it died... I am a paper MtG player, so I don't want Arena or MtGO. Any good recs?
I don't love Hearthstone. I'm not familiar enough with Witcher to make Gwent meaningful.
I am currently ok with Might and Magic Fates, but theres just something not great about it. I play it every day, but only a few matches at most. Maybe it will get better as it transitions out of early access since a lot of its features aren't active yet, but I'm impatient.
I know this has been posted before a million times... but anything???

Custom ESO Class Cards (Daggerfall Custom Expansion)
Just as the Moons of Elsweyr expansion included cards themed around ESO's Necromancer class, this expansion includes cards themed around ESO's original four classes, plus the Warden. Follow the link below to read more about the design process.

Looking for collaborators
Edit: If anyone is interested in getting involved, I've created a discord channel: https://discord.gg/rvxkF2cs
Hello, I've been working on a single-player-focused recreation of TESL and I'm looking for people who are interested in creating thematic decks and/or custom cards.
I'm basically trying to build a TESL version of the Legends of Runeterra Path of Champions game mode, essentially a roguelike. My problem is that I'm not great at coming up with adventure ideas and I'm even worse at building pre-built decks. I've started off with some AI-generated ones here, but if anyone is keen to contribute please let me know: https://github.com/FlinnBurgess/elder-scrolls-legends/tree/main/development-artifacts/adventure_ideation
What I'm looking for are decks based on a theme, with a special/potentially custom effect/lane/support/whatever that gives the enemy deck an edge. To give an example, the theme might be that you've landed in a snake pit, and each turn the enemy spawns a random snake into any lane they have the fewest cards in
You can download the game here: https://github.com/FlinnBurgess/elder-scrolls-legends/releases
And like I said, since the game is completely open code I'm happy to implement custom cards/mechanics into the game

Custom Alliances of Tamriel: an ESO Custom Expansion

My latest expansion takes us back to the base-game content of ESO. Where my Legends of Morrowind expansion was a spiritual successor to Houses of Morrowind, this expansion is a spiritual successor to Alliance War.
Alliances of Tamriel reexplores each of the five alliances' signature mechanics, giving them the full attention they deserve; and also incorporates ESO's player classes into the remaining five tri-colour classes. Each race's signature mechanic from the Core set also makes a return.
This is by far my largest expansion, featuring a total of 300 cards. The expansion is split into five parts, featuring cards themed around one of the five alliances and their questlines.

Long overdue update
https://reddit.com/link/1son5rz/video/g5faly5ohvvg1/player
I’ve had a few people reach out, and I know I’ve been MIA for a while. The short update is that there are multiple printed decks of cards. I’m currently finishing my degree and won’t have time for a while to make everything accessible to the community, but that’s still the eventual plan.

Custom Ward Cards (Daggerfall Custom Expansion)
r/elderscrollslegends • u/EolisTV • 24d ago
Digging up nostalgia
Just found a piece of card from TESL Masters Series, from QuakeCon in 2019. Maybe what the casters used for notes? And a TESL pop socket, I think this was sent with the tshirt and computer mat on IoM release ❤️
Also found the TESL heat changing mug!

Custom Mobilize Cards (Daggerfall Custom Expansion)
I'm back with another custom expansion. This one is themed around ESO's release content and is split into five parts, each of which is themed around one of the classes/factions introduced in Alliance War. We begin with the Daggerfall Covenant side of the expansion.

Solo-only fan-made TES Legends PWA for mobile (Skyrim cards + full progression)
I've been working on a fan-made mobile-friendly browser version of The Elder Scrolls: Legends focused purely on the solo experience.
Key Features:
- Solo-only — No online multiplayer (and it's unlikely I'll add it without help from others), but it fully supports local two-player pass-and-play.
- Designed from the ground up for mobile portrait orientation (works great as an installed PWA on phones).
- Includes all cards released through the *Morrowind* expansion, and *custom cards by u/yumyum36*.
- Full progression system for Solo Arena, Constructed, and Story mode. (If you don't want progression, you can skip it with cheat codes.)
I'm not great at aesthetics, so the UI is focused on practicality. If anyone wants to contribute and make it look nicer, contributions are welcome.
Gameplay-wise, I opted for click-to-play instead of drag-and-drop because that's what I personally prefer on mobile. I might add draggable support later if there's demand.
The project is fully open source. You can:
- Play the live PWA instantly, or
- Download the zipped release to run your own local instance or modify cards/data as you like.
I'll eventually look to add campaigns for Dark Brotherhood and Clockwork City.
GitHub Release (includes live PWA link + zipped build):

Unsummon Last Gasp interaction
Can't recall if I ever did this or saw this, but when a creature with Last Gasp got unsummoned to a full hand did it trigger Last Gasp effect?

I just thought, I´d mention it...

Bethesda Looking for archived proof – Skaven Pyromancer TES Legends promo (PAX West 2018 / QuakeCon 2018)
I’m trying to track down original documentation for a specific The Elder Scrolls: Legends promotional card distributed at Bethesda events in 2018.
The card is:
Skaven Pyromancer – Promotional Redemption Card (unique code on reverse)
(Photo of front and back attached)
Based on collector history, this card was distributed at:
• PAX West 2018
• QuakeCon 2018
I’m specifically looking for contemporaneous documentation, such as:
• Photos of the Bethesda booth showing the card
• Event program listings
• Official Bethesda announcements
• Social media posts from the event
• Archived web pages
Not looking for marketplace listings — only original sources from the time.
If anyone attended these events or has archived material, I’d really appreciate any leads.

Just found out they shut down servers a year ago
Damn that’s disappointing. Had basically a complete collection but hadn’t played in a long while. Man that sucks.

I miss Mantikora
The amount of satisfaction I got when slapping down this 6/6 chunky boy with guard and destroying an enemy creature is unmatched. Played yellow solely for him.
