Role Locked Cards
Each role opens up a selection of cards that can be used in decks. In this article we have the current list of cards for each role visually displayed so you can get a better idea of the options available.
 |  | |
 | Keeper of Air | Seeker of Air |
 | Keeper of Earth | Seeker of Earth |
 | Keeper of Fire | Seeker of Fire |
 | Keeper of Water | Seeker of Water |
 | Keeper of Void | Seeker of Void |
Following the decision at Winter Court 2019, you can select any role you wish during deck building. Clans are no longer limited to just one or two to pick from!
Some cards from very recent packs are still missing!
Keeper of Air
Keeper of Earth
Keeper of Fire
Keeper of Water
Keeper of Void
Seeker of Air
Seeker of Earth
Seeker of Fire
Seeker of Water
Seeker of Void

Thanks for spotting that! Fixed now.
When will each clan get the third role?
If you mean when will the roles from Worlds kick in, they are active now. The list above is current. If you’re wondering when we will have 3 roles simultaneously, the current plan is to stick with only 2.
It’s wrong.

“Elemental Roles in 2019
As we go into the next year of Organized Play, what will the role system look like?
Roles will be selected three times per year:
At the Winter Court World Championship, granting access to those roles from January to August.
During the first season of Elemental Championships, granting access to those roles from May to December.
During the second season of Elemental Championships, granting access to those roles from September to April.”

“Additionally, because players were already expecting the role selection at the 2018 Winter Court World Championship to replace last year’s choices, the 2018 Winter Court World Championship roles will become effective immediately after the event, and will last through August 2019.”
Sorry, I missed that
It took me a few hours of asking around to work out what was going on. I thought maybe Tyler had said something at the event, but no it’s hidden in a tiny little spot on an article about something else!
This is great Baz, thanks for taking the time to do this. It really helps with deck building.
You forgot adopted kin in seeker of fire it seems. Am I Wrong ?
You are correct! Thanks for the spot, I’ve fixed it now.
But what about the third role?
The third (oldest) role cycles out. Right now, we only ever have two roles at a time.
Has any info leaked out about the card “Seeker of truth/Keeper of power” that was given in koteis ? It seems to have Daisestsu on the seeker side with “Maho” as a keyword, and Kuni Yori on the other with “Shadowlands”… The cards were on the tables at GK Paris and I have yet to find any info on this…
Those were just cards left on the table by one of the players, they weren’t anything official.
Ok. The lack of explanation going with it and the quality of the cards was confusing. Thanks.
Any info on who did this and why ?
