A champion card known as "Ezreal".
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.
Champions are all based on Champions from 
League of Legends.
Mechanics
While there is an allied champion alive, any copies of it in hand transform into a 'Champion Spell'. It changes back into the Champion when there is no longer one alive. See Champion Spell for more information.
However, this doesn't mean that duplicate champions can't be on the board, as there are various effects that can in some way allow you to have a duplicate, Dawn and Dusk, Splinter Soul, and The Rekindler to name a few.
Level up
A leveled up "Ezreal".
champion card to transform into another card instantly, playing an animation, keeping all effects applied to it and damage taken and counting as the same unit.Each Level Up has a corresponding trigger condition and the transformation occurs instantly when the condition is met and a copy of the card is in play, and sometimes another specified effect will occur simultaneously.
For example, Level Up: I have attacked twice. Create x card in hand. would cause the card to transform after it commits a second 
attack and it would create x card in hand instantly.
The transformation persists for the remainder of the game. All collectable champions possess this keyword and most will only level up once. Champions that have their level up conditions met when not in play will appear to be levelled up in the Popup that appears when the deck is clicked, but will not actually level up until brought into play.
Deck Limitations
In Collected decks, a player can have at most 6 champions in their decks. These cards can be from different champions, or be duplicates. Just like other cards, a player can have at most 3 duplicates of one champion.
Expeditions
In Expeditions, a player has 2 champions in their initial deck. As the player progress in a trial, they can earn more champions cards.
