Hero Realms: Necromancer Promo & 4 Zombie Cards is an exclusive card released for Kickstarter backers and still available at conventions or special promotions. The card features a Necromancer who, each turn, puts a zombie token onto the board. These zombies are champions, but because they are tokens, they are removed from play when they die instead of going to the discard pile. If you can keep your Necromancer alive for a few turns, you’ll build a deadly swarm of zombies to attack your opponent. The Necromancer isn’t very tough, so the strategy involves protecting the character with guards – champions that act like outposts, blocking attacks. The deck, bag, and pool building mechanic is central: you’ll choose which cards to keep, trade, or discard to optimize your deck. The expansion offers new synergy possibilities but requires attention to the balance between the Necromancer’s fragility and the zombies’ power. In short, if you love necromancy, zombies, and growing decks, this promo will excite you, but remember it’s a limited item and requires careful deck construction. Ideal for players who already master Hero Realms and want to deepen the experience with a dark magic theme.
