RegionEvery card in Legends of Runeterra is sorted into a region based off a canon region of 
Runeterra. Cards within a region tend to share mechanics such as certain keywords and tend to synergise well with each other, and combining cards from different regions can lead to unique synergies and playstyles, with their own strengths and weaknesses. Game Modes and deckbuilding rules have specific restrictions on the number of regions that can be in a deck.
ManaMana is the primary resource used to play cards in Legends of Runeterra.
Equipment
Legends of Runeterra that equip to a unit (called Bearer) as a separate entity. While equipped, it shares the stats buffs also its positive keywords to its Bearer. (This sharing cannot be interacted with).
Equipment can be played by 
Spell Mana.
PowerDictates the damage a unit does in combat, whether attacking or defending. This value can be changed through various cards temporarily or permanently, but each card has a default Power that it returns to if effects are removed.
Collectible cards always have a Rarity gem at the bottom. Most effects which activate 
Random can only create Collectible cards.
SeeA unit sees an action happen if it is on the board when it happens.
Unit card
Champion or a 
Follower card. A unit card can be played by spending 
Mana equal to its cost, and fulfilling any additional conditions in the card text, which summons it. A unit has a Cost, 
Power and 
Health. A unit can also have additional card text that has its own effects, usually only when the unit is alive.Ally in card text refers to an allied unit. Enemy in card text refers to one of your opponent's units.
- Examples of this are when a unit is dragged into the
Attack or 
Block position, or when a 
spell is dragged onto the board. - When a spell is declared, then undeclared, it's placed in the rightmost position in the hand.
- When an attack or block is declared, then undeclared, the unit(s) are placed in the rightmost position on the board.
Death unit is reduced to 0 Health or is otherwise killed, it is removed from play.Effects that specifically kill a unit go through
Barrier.
Killed units are added to a list of units that have died in the game, which the game interacts with in various ways. Multiple copies of a unit can be on this list.
A unit killing another refers to it reducing another's Health to 0 with a 
Strike or with its own card text.
Skills generated by the text don't count as the same card and therefore do not count as killing for this purpose. See Skill.

RuneterraUnlike other regions, Runeterra cards have unique deckbuilding rules, dictated by the origins of the cards in it, with only one card from Runeterra able to be put into the deck.
Champions Unit.
A champion is able to 
Level Up to transform it and every other allied copy of it in the game that could ever exist into a new card instantly, keeping all effects applied to it and damage taken, which has its own interactions as well. While there is an allied champion alive, any copies of it in hand are instead a Champion Spell.
FollowersFollowers are a type of unit card in Legends of Runeterra, with numerous cards that only interact with them.
Landmarks Legends of Runeterra that take up a space on the board, like units, but can't interact with the same mechanics as units - for example they can't Attack or Block (See also: 
Immobile), don't have Health or Power, and can't strike.Text that can affect Landmarks will explicitly refer to them.
Spells
speed of a spell dictates when it can be played, and whether the opponent can respond.
The Spell Stack: Once one or more Fast or Slow spells have been played, it can be responded / reacted to by the opponent with one or more Fast or Burst spells. Fast spells played are added to the stack, where the most recent one placed is the first to resolve. Once the response is confirmed by pressing the Button, the opponent has a chance to react, and this continues until both players pass. Only 10 spells can be on the stack at once, and the 10th spell may only be Burst.
Skill spell-like card that can be committed by a unit. Goes on the Spell Stack like a Fast or Slow spell.
Skills are committed to enact a unit's card text in a way that can be reacted to. If card text creates a Skill, there will usually be an 
icon before the text to indicate this.
The text of skills is usually written as if it's on the unit itself, but they count as their own card. In particular, damage dealt by a skill is not dealt by the generating unit.
Collectable cards from 
Runeterra have a specified unique Origin card (or 'Origin') associated with them. Each distinct card in the deck with an Origin counts as one of the deck's regions. The Origin of these cards allows specific cards to be added to the deck regardless of their region.
Origins can also have an effect that is active from the start of the game and throughout, if there is a card with them in the deck at the start of the game
