OSRS TCG A Taste of Hope — Old School RuneScape quest card mapping

In recent times, the Myreque have been beset by disaster, with numerous members meeting a gruesome end at the hands of Vanstrom Klause, the brutal henchman of the Drakans. However, while the Myreque may be in their darkest hour, hope still remains. Thanks to a recent discovery in the laboratories deep beneath Meiyerditch, the Myreque may have finally found a way to take the fight to the vampyres.

The OSRS TCG A Taste of Hope card list covers 9 of the items and monsters involved, including Abomination, Ranis Drakan and Emerald.
