In-game factions
The former are represented in-game by Drakkorith faction.
On the other side are forces that some may consider sinister. They include playable factions Oblivion and Vestige.
Two of the upcoming factions can be found on this artwork, we will announce more details about them soon.
Can you recognize which ones are still not in-game, and maybe guess their names?
(Hint: we've already mentioned them before)
Latest patch update brings few adjustments to in-game battlegrounds
Your previously selected battleground is now remembered by the game.
Also, the battleground you selected is now always displayed for you locally in-game, which means that your opponents’ choice of battleground does not interfere with your choice. Both players are shown the battleground that they selected.
Furthermore, default selection for favorite battleground is now ‘’random’’, meaning you can adjust your favorite battleground to ‘’random’' as well, or pick the one you like the most.
Below you can check out battlegrounds currently available in the game, which one is your favorite?

Since we have entered Early Access on Friday, February 7th, there has been a lot of buzz among the Twitch streamers who have taken a huge interest in our game and streamed it on their Twitch channels.
Besides Kripparrian, Amaz and TrumpSC, two other great professional card game competitors played Phageborn against some hardcore fans from the Phageborn community!
We’re talking about TidesofTime, our favorite bunny boy, and Thijs, a Dutch jongen (how we like to call him).

Popular cutie Amaz streamed on Monday, February 10th and Tuesday, February 11th, same as Phageborn's first champion TrumpSC.
Amaz is a popular streamer originated from Hong Kong, and now lives in Vancouver, Canada. He graduated mathematics and he taught saxophone before he started full-time streaming. Since childhood, Amaz has enjoyed playing games to "challenge his mind and keep it active" and we were thrilled to see him utilize his math and tactical skills in Phageborn.
In his first match of Phageborn, he played against one of the most popular card streamers!!
Also, he used one of his most popular phrases, which he is known for, so check out his stream to relive the buzz and find out who this mystery streamer is. ;)
TrumpSC, our first Phagemaster, winner of Balance of Power tournament, which was held on Reboot Infogamer in November 2019, streamed on Monday and Tuesday to share his veteran knowledge with his audience.
Learn Mayors tips and tricks on his stream and find out how his trip to Croatia was!
Watch their skillful plays and veteran tactics on their Twitch channels.
