6 Cerberus
Keeper of the Gates
Guard. Last Breath: Summon 2 Shades.
“Three throats. No permission to pass.”
He was not set at the gate to keep the living out. He was set there to keep the dead in, and he has never once been distracted.
Keeper of the Dusk Ledger
Hades
“All debts find their way to my gates.”
Attrition, souls and recursion 
Power: Grave Muster
2 Aether · once per turn
Summon a 1/1 Shade. If you have at least 1 Soul, automatically spend 1 to summon it as a 2/2 instead.
A body every turn — and a better one once the dead start paying.
Mechanic: Souls
Start at 0 Souls, up to 10. Gain 1 Soul whenever a friendly non-token unit dies.
- Strength
- Death value, removal, restoration, bounded resurrection.
- Weakness
- Slow setup, finite Souls, and reliance on actual non-token deaths.

Signature cards
Mythic and signature cards from Hades’s pool, with their flavor and lore as written in the game.
6 
6 Persephone
Queen of Asphodel
Arrival: Spend 3 Souls to resurrect your most recent eligible non-token unit costing 3 or less, when possible.
“Even here, something may bloom again.”
She rules half the year below and is not a hostage in either half. What grows in Asphodel grows because she permits it.
8 Thanatos
the Gentle End
Arrival: Destroy an enemy unit with 4 or less Attack.
“No anger. No hurry. Only the end.”
Death itself is a civil servant with an enormous caseload. He was wrestled once, by Heracles, and considers the matter closed.
6 Hecate
Torch at the Crossroads
At the start of your turn, gain 1 Soul. At the end of your turn, spend 4 Souls to draw 2 cards, when available.
“Three roads. I have already walked all of them.”
Hecate holds the torch at every crossing between the living country and the lower one, and a toll is owed at each. What she gathers by morning she has spent again by dusk.
7 Tisiphone
Voice of Vengeance
After an enemy unit dies, deal 2 damage to the enemy hero.
“I do not punish the crime. I punish the one who ordered it.”
Tisiphone is the Fury kept for blood-debt and she does not rest while one stands unpaid. She counts the dead of a battle and sends the whole account to whoever gave the order.
7 Unbreakable Oath of Styx
Requires and spends 5 Souls: Resurrect your two most recent eligible non-token units, whatever their printed cost. Requires an eligible entry and a board slot; the second resurrection is skipped without one.
“Swear on the black water. It has never yet let go of anything.”
When the black river is called as witness even death keeps its word. The House swears rarely and settles in full, and two names come back up out of the water at once.
The Dawn We Owe
Hades’s road to Eidra
Braziers flicker in the violet mist around Hades’s basalt throne, where two carved stone hounds keep watch.
Charon holds the boat at the landing, his oar raised above names that were never erased. Before anyone crosses, he names the Price of Passage and asks who was made to pay it.
