## Description
Mage Wars: Altar of Peace Promo Card arrives as a golden reward for participants in Organized Play sessions. The card, epic and legendary, costs 7 mana and can only be played in the exclusive "Altar of Peace." When activated, it forces all creatures on the field to pay 1 mana during the declare attack phase, whether melee or ranged attacks— a control trick that can swing the game in the holder's favor. Thus, the card is a pressure weapon that forces the opponent to spend extra resources while you maintain initiative. The area influence mechanic is reflected here: whoever controls the Altar of Peace gains advantage over attacks. As part of an expansion, the card does not alter Mage Wars' core rules but adds a strategic layer of cost and timing that can be decisive in 90‑minute duels between two players. The gameplay experience remains true to the card‑duel style, with dice rolls, simultaneous action selection, and mana control. If you already master the base game and want something that upgrades your control tactics, this card could be the missing edge. Note: it only works in the Altar of Peace zone and cannot be used elsewhere. Also, being promotional, it’s not found in regular stores, so you’ll need to attend events or trade to obtain it. In short, the Altar of Peace Promo Card is an epic boost for those who like to pressure the opponent, but it requires careful use and availability.
