Champions
In Wildcard, numerous worlds send their finest champions to compete in the arena. Every hero, accompanied by their sidekick and summoned creatures, contributes a distinct set of abilities to the battlefield. At the moment, only two champions have been revealed; Bolgar and Locke. We take a deep dive into the lore and history of each character.
Bolgar
Wildcard
Bolgar, originally known as Neralis, was once the prince and heir to the throne of the Saering royal family. As a young boy, he was betrayed by his jealous younger brother and cast into a deep crevasse while playing in the woods. Within the crevasse, Bolgar encountered a bear cub, and they engaged in a fierce battle. Both sustained injuries, and their blood mingled, creating a magical connection that caused them to fuse into a single being - they became "werebeared."
Bolgar was drawn to the sport of Wildcard. His ability to recognize the unique talents of other creatures and incorporate them into his gameplay made him a formidable strategist. Bolgar's deep understanding of his teammates allowed him to become a better leader, as he embraced his role as one of the champions in the Wildcard arena.
Locke
Wildcard
Locke is the rising star of the Chronian Wildcard team. As a former lead techno-engineer, he was responsible for creating many of the robots and upgrades used by the Chronos Royals in battle. Despite his background, Locke always dreamed of playing Wildcard himself and even developed his own unique ability, Chronowarp, in case the opportunity ever arose.
Locke's chance finally came when King Valla announced "open tryouts" – allowing any citizen of Chronos to compete against Prince Boone for a spot on the Wildcard team. The tryouts were a mere facade, as King Valla intended to appear egalitarian, assuming no other Chronians could possibly defeat his son. However, he was in for a shock when a masked man in a flowing techno-cloak appeared, wielding the never-before-seen Chronowarp power, and consistently defeated Boone.
Frustrated, King Valla demanded the mysterious contender to reveal his identity. As Locke removed his helmet, the crowd recognized him as the lowly engineer and celebrated him as the new champion of the people. By Valla's own rules, Locke was promoted to the Chronos Wildcard team, displacing Boone from the major league. This turn of events left the entire royal family humiliated and Boone enraged.
Decks and Summons
Wildcard Deck
In Wildcard, your deck determines the lineup of summons you can call into the arena during a match. Each summon has a defined role — some hold the frontline and soak pressure, others deal burst damage, provide ranged support, or disrupt enemy positioning. Your Champion fights in real time, while your summons help control space, create openings, and shift momentum, making deck choices just as important as mechanical skill.
Building a strong deck is about synergy with your Champion’s abilities and your teammate’s playstyle. Aggressive Champions may lean on fast, high-impact summons to push tempo, while defensive or control-focused Champions might rely on shielders, area control units, or disruptive creatures to shape the pace of the fight.
Wildfile
Wildcard's Wildfile feature offers a dynamic digital profile for players, enabling them to document and showcase their gaming achievements and status. This tool allows players to connect globally, participate in collectible challenges, and earn unique rewards and badges. Additionally, the Wildfile facilitates competition by tracking players' involvement in game events through an extensive leaderboard system. Players can also customize their avatars, personalizing their presence in the Wildcard universe to reflect their unique identity and preferences.

NFTs and Blockchain
Recently, Wildcard launched its first NFT collection called the Wildpass, which quickly sold out on Magic Eden. The Genesis Wildpass offers several long-term benefits to its holders. These include lifetime access to future NFT mints by Wildcard and first options on new features such as early access to playtest builds and exclusive community events. Holders also enjoy privileged access to private channels, partnership programs, and potential ownership opportunities within the Wildcard universe, alongside exclusive airdrops, enhancing their engagement with the game's evolving ecosystem.
Game Updates (2025)
In early 2025, Wildcard completed a major migration of its Wildpass NFTs from Polygon to Ethereum mainnet, with the team covering all gas costs for holders to make the transition smooth. Around the same time, the team also introduced its WC token and launched a community airdrop that rewarded early supporters and Wildpass holders. The token is designed to keep ownership within the community, with no allocations to the team or outside investors.
Later in the year, Wildcard secured new funding to expand its development and strengthen its integration with the Thousands streaming platform. The team has been running regular playtests, showcasing the game at major gaming events, and gearing up for early access, making 2025 one of the most eventful years yet for the Wildcard universe.
