Monster Train 2 clans
A run uses two clans: the primary clan supplies the champion, and both clans' cards appear in drafts. Thirteen clans exist after The Punished: five new to Monster Train 2, six returning from the first game (Wurmkin came back free on 2 February 2026) and two paid DLC clans. How to unlock every clan covers the conditions in order.
