About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of Mage Wars and looking to spice up your battles, this Bloodwave Greatbow promo card is for you! This creature costs 12 Mana and comes with 11 Health, but forget about armor, because with 0 armor and 9+ defense, it won't last long taking hits. Its trick lies in its attack: a quick dagger attack using 2 dice, or a full attack with the Greatbow, its specialty, firing 4 dice at a range of 1 to 2. And there's more: if the Bloodwave Greatbow is affected by a friendly command spell, its Greatbow attack gains a +2 bonus until the end of the round. It's a cool addition for those who like to vary strategies and add a surprise element to the battlefield. This card was distributed at organized play events, so it might be a neat find to complete your Mage Wars collection.
