Card Backs are a customization option available in Legends. Card backs are displayed during battles, with your card backs being displayed to your opponents, and yourself as you draw cards. Card backs are available in a number of different themes, which can be accessed from the collection menu.

Visually, several card backs resemble card backs that appeared in Crown Crates from ESO.

Legends Asia

The Elder Scrolls: Legends Asia had a number of exclusive card backs, unavailable in the original version of the game.

Chinese New Year

New Year Card Back

The Chinese New Year card back was created by GAEA, the development team working on Legends Asia. It was made available from January 22 to February 2, 2020 as part of an in-game New Year event. In order to earn the card back, you had to complete special "New Year's Quests"; each quest would earn you a single New Year point, with 30 points being required to unlock the card back.

First Anniversary

The First Anniversary card back was exclusive to Legends Asia and could be obtained by purchasing the "Anniversary II" bundle for ¥128 CNY. This bundle was made available on April 23, 2024 and included the card back along with two Epic Glyphs and one Legendary Glyph. In appearance it is similar to the 25th Anniversary card back from the original game. It was released to celebrate the one year anniversary of Legends Asia's relaunch on April 25, 2023.

Card Friends

The Card Friends card back was exclusive to Legends Asia and was initially distributed as an event reward for the Asian ESL. It was later permanently made available for purchase in the in-game store for 233 . It is vaguely Tribunal-themed, with gears and symbols associated with the Clockwork City.
