  • Khagan, the Eternal Dragon (AC4-033 · Green Contender, 1/0): 30: The first time you play or attach a Contender Weapon during your turn, you may draw one card. This card may attach up to four Contender Weapons with different names. 15: Once per turn, during your Primary Phase, you may engage this card. If you do, choose target Contender Weapon in your Oblivion. Until end of turn, you may play that card without paying its resource cost.
  • Khagan, the Reclaimer (AC5-047 · Green Clash, cost 1, 1/2): Counter - Play: Send this card to Oblivion. Then put one Contender Weapon from your Oblivion with an initial resource cost of two or less that was sent to Oblivion this turn into your hand.
  • Khagan, Malevolent Dragonforce (AC4-040 · Green Clash, cost 5, 4/4): Flight Trigger - Attack: Look at the top five cards of your deck. You may reveal a Contender Weapon from among them and put it into your hand. Put the remaining cards on the bottom of your deck in any order. When this card deals clash damage to a Contender, you may discard a Contender Weapon. If you do, return target Contender Weapon from your Oblivion to your hand.
  • Khagan, Smoldering Striker (AC4-042 · Green Clash, cost 3, 3/3): Counter - Play: You may play this card when an opponent plays a Clash card. If you play this card using this effect, send it to Oblivion at the end of turn. Trigger - Enter: If you played this card during an opponents' turn, this card gets +1/+0 until end of turn. Then choose target Clash card an opponent controls. Until end of turn, other Clash cards that opponent controls cannot attack until target Clash card attacks.
