2026 Riot Games Vanguard Defender of Tomorrow Jayce #149/166

Jayce — Defender of Tomorrow is a Legend card from the Vanguard TCG (VEN set, card 149/166). As a Legend unit, Jayce wields his iconic Mercury Hammer, depicted in full battle stance in striking illustrated artwork by Emcar Studio. His card ability reads: Empower — pay 2 to ready a gear. When Empowered, that upgrades to readying 2 gears instead. The second card in this bundle is the Mech Token (VEN T03), a Token Unit with 3 power. Its flavour text captures the gritty pragmatism of Piltover engineering: "Sure, they're loud, messy, and unreliable. But so are people, when you get down to it." Illustrated by Dao Trong Le, the Mech token is generated by Jayce's in-game mechanics and serves as a companion piece to the Legend card.
