## Description
You know that moment when everything seems under control and, suddenly, someone flips the script? That's exactly what the Scarlet Witch promo card brings to the Hail Hydra table. Originally released at GenCon 2018, this card isn't a full game, but rather a powerful 'seasoning' for those who already own the base game and want to add more chaos and strategy to their sessions.

The core mechanic here is 'Chaos Magic'. Imagine the scene: players are prepping their attacks, tension is high, and then you unleash Wanda's power. Before the attack cards are collected, you pick an opponent and, in the blink of an eye, force that hero to take all the attack cards they just played back into their hand. This completely disrupts the opponent's planning, forcing them to reorganize their hand management strategy and creating that 'wait, what?!' atmosphere that makes deduction and betrayal games so entertaining.

For those who love the espionage vibe and the Marvel theme, this card adds an extra layer of unpredictability. It messes with the game's timing, allowing you to neutralize threats or simply cause mental confusion among your friends. If you already own Hail Hydra and want to feel the Scarlet Witch's power manipulating the reality of the table, this small add-on is the perfect choice. Just remember that, as a promotional item, it serves as a supplement to the experience, focusing on altering the dynamics of who plays cards and who keeps them, making the fight to find the undercover agent even more insane.
