Four of them are Advanced Action cards featuring two mana colors, letting you pay with either shown color or unleash a stronger effect depending on the situation. They also count as both colors for abilities that require specific hues, opening fresh resource combos. The fifth card is a unique artifact, the Mysterious Box, which adds a one‑off effect to your deck. All cards first appeared in the Ultimate Edition and were later sold separately through WizKids’ online store. They’re especially handy for players who have mastered the base game and want extra mana flexibility and combat options. Since they’re physical cards, you’ll need a Portuguese translation sheet or a translated version if you play in another language. The expansion doesn’t change core rules; it simply broadens strategic possibilities while keeping the 4/5 weight and a playtime of 1‑4 hours depending on player count. Perfect for those who love deck customization and new synergies without steep learning curves. ## FAQ ### How many players can use the expansion? It works for 1‑4 players, just like the base game. ### Does playtime change with the new cards? Playtime stays roughly 60‑240 minutes, depending on player count and strategic depth. ### Do I need any extra components besides the cards? No extra components are required; only the five promotional cards are needed. ### Are the cards printed in Portuguese? They were originally released in English. Use a translation sheet or look for a fan‑made Portuguese version. ### Does the expansion affect the game's difficulty? The overall difficulty stays at a 4/5 weight. The cards add options but don’t shift the learning curve.
