Kennen empowers when you play a card from anywhere other than your hand, then can disempower and exhaust to give a unit Assault 2 for the turn.

“When you play a card from anywhere other than your hand, empower me. [Action] → Disempower me,: Give a unit [Assault 2] this turn. (+2 Might while it's an attacker.)”
Kennen asks you to care about combat math; the fun is setting up fights where your units survive because the Legend ability changes the numbers.
Kennen needs reliable ways to play from zones such as the trash or the top of the deck. Charge him before an attack, then place Assault 2 on the unit that can convert the temporary +2 Might into a won combat or conquer.
New to this Legend? Pick Kennen if you enjoy tracking where cards are played from and converting that setup into one sharper attack.
Kennen does not have a full ready-to-play preconstructed deck. Its 15-card Vendetta Pre-Rift seed is a foundation for Sealed deckbuilding, not a complete Constructed list. We also do not yet have a tournament-backed list for this Legend. Open the deck builder to begin a Order / Chaos legal build; proven lists will appear here once tournament results exist.
