About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever feel like your starting deck in Hero Realms is a bit too 'generic'? That's where the Wizard Character Pack comes in. Instead of starting with the same cards as everyone else, you step into the shoes of a spellcaster, completely shifting the dynamic of your match. This pack isn't just cosmetic; it replaces your starting deck with a set of 10 class-exclusive cards, introducing unique elements like the Cat Familiar and the Fire Staff that add a special flavor to your plays.
The coolest part about this pack is how it turns every match-up into a unique challenge. In PvP games, your strategy shifts based on which character you've chosen, forcing you to adapt how you acquire cards and attack. If you're into the cooperative campaign, the Wizard serves as the foundation for your character, which you'll customize and evolve over time. The pack comes fully equipped with the hero card (detailing starting health), class-specific abilities (one minor and one major), and score cards to keep your math straight.
For those who love having a defined 'playstyle' — focusing more on spells and effects rather than the brute force of a fighter, for example — this pack is a must-have. You gain access to abilities like 'Fireball' and 'Channel', allowing you to manipulate the battlefield in ways the standard deck simply can't. It's the perfect way to add depth to the base game without needing complex new rules, as the integration is organic and fast. Essentially, you swap the basic for the extraordinary and start the game feeling like you already have a master plan to crush your opponents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game to use this pack?
Yes! This is a Character Pack, meaning it expands the base game. You cannot play it as a standalone game.
What exactly comes in the box?
You get 10 exclusive starting deck cards, the hero card, two ability cards (major and minor), two score cards, and the rules.
Does the game become much harder with the Wizard?
Not necessarily harder, but the strategy shifts. You trade raw power for specific conjuration abilities.
Can I use the Wizard in cooperative mode?
Absolutely! In the campaign mode, it serves as the starting point for your character's evolution.
Are the cards text-heavy? Is it hard to understand?
Not at all; the text is very concise and easy to memorize, so the language barrier is minimal.
