With the upcoming expansion, a new Champion is joining the Targon roster: Taric, the Shield of Valoran.

New Mechanic: Spellshield

Each extension has its own keyword. The one from Call of the Mountain is called Spellshield, and allows a minion to counter an opposing skill or spell that targets him.

Climbing Mount Targon can be treacherous, but those who brave the dangers have found new forms of protection. New Keyword—Spellshield: Nullifies the next enemy spell or skill that would affect this unit.

Legends of Runeterra: New Spellshield keyword with Call of the Mountain

Like Bilgewater, the upcoming expansion will bring a whole new game mechanic: the Spellshield!

New type of cards: Gems

A new type of card, the Gem, is a spell that can heal 1 HP and give + 1 ATT to an allied minion. However, we don't know if this card will be a "full" one or if it will be generated by cards like Mentor of the Stones or Mountain Goat. In addition, no information was revealed regarding Gem variants.
