If you play a card from hidden, does it count toward legion?

Yes, playing a card from Hidden counts toward Legion.

According to Rule 811.1.c.3, playing a card from Hidden opens a chain. Once that card is "Finalized" on the chain (targets chosen and costs paid), it satisfies the requirement for any Legion abilities you may have active for the remainder of the turn (as described in Rule 812.1.c and confirmed by RiftJudge FAQ #9013).

To clarify the distinction:

  • Hiding a card (placing it face-down) is a Discretionary Action, not the act of playing a card, and does not count toward Legion.
  • Playing a card from Hidden (flipping it over to put it on the chain) is considered playing a card and does satisfy the Legion requirement.
