What is Nab in Legends of Runeterra?

Legends of Runeterra has many card effects that are common enough that they get their own keyword - a word or two that immediately tells you how the card works. Let's take a look at the Nab keyword.

Draw a non-champion card from the bottom of the enemy deck.

Nab is a keyword in which you take cards from your opponent's deck. It is exclusive to 3 cards found in Bilgewater.

Keywords that Work Great with Nab

Nab is a very unique action, and no keywords in particular synergize with it.

If your opponent is not playing Bilgewater, then you will never need to worry about your cards being Nabbed.

Playing Against Nab in Legends of Runeterra

Unfortunately not all Nab can be played around. Pilfered Goods can be prevented with Deny, and Black Market Merchant can be played around by preventing your Nexus from being attacked. Yordle GifterBADCARDNAME unfortunately will always Nab a card if your opponent constructed their deck with the Allegiance in mind.

Example Legends of Runeterra Nab Cards

As mentioned before, there are only 3 Nab cards in the entire game.

Yordle GifterBADCARDNAME

Yordle GifterBADCARDNAME is a unit that will Nab a card if you activated Allegiance when you play it. If your deck is entirely made of Bilgewater, this effect will always activate. It will also add a Warning Shot to your hand when summoned.

Pilfered Goods is a simple spell that will Nab 1 when you play it. If you activate Plunder though, you will Nab 2 instead.

Black Market Merchant is a card that will Nab if you activate Plunder, as well as reducing the Cost of cards you Nab by 1 while you control it.
