## Description
Ever felt the urge to customize your hero so they truly feel like your own creation? That's exactly what Hero Realms: Ancestry delivers. This 20-card pack isn't a standalone game, but rather an essential seasoning for those who already enjoy the frantic battles of the base game. The big hook here is the introduction of races, allowing you to choose between being a Dwarf, Elf, Ogre, Orc, or Smallfolk.

The versatility is the highlight: you can simply use a race with a generic starting deck to test the synergy, or, if you want to go further, combine the race with any available character pack. Imagine the possibilities! Who wouldn't want to command an imposing Ogre Wizard, an agile Elven Ranger, or a sturdy Dwarven Fighter? In total, there are 30 possible race and class combinations, which completely refreshes the gaming experience and forces players to adapt their deck-building strategies.

In practice, this adds layers of customization that make every match unique. Instead of just buying the best cards from the market, you now have your lineage's foundation influencing the game. It's the perfect expansion for those who feel the base game has become repetitive or for those who want to add more narrative depth to their combat. If you love building combos and want your character to have a distinct visual and mechanical identity, Ancestry is the way to go. Prepare your deck, pick your race, and get ready for the brawl!
