## Description
Mage Wars: Debilitate Promo Card is an exclusive bonus you can grab at Gen Con 2013. The card, called *Debilitate Enchantment*, costs 2 mana to play and, if you place 4 mana to reveal it, the target creature loses all its *Melee+X* traits and, worse, can never gain any of those abilities again. In other words, it takes your favorite creature, strips it of melee attacks, and leaves it vulnerable while the other player tries to turn the tide in their favor. The effect is direct and powerful: just put the mana in the box, reveal the card, and watch the opponent’s creature lose *Melee+X* – a play that can swing a 90‑minute game. The card requires no extra components; it comes embedded in promotional packs and works exactly like any other Mage Wars card. If you already own the base game, just open the pack and add the card to your hand. If you don’t, it functions only as a collector’s gift – it can’t be played without the original game. For fans of tactical combat, the idea of permanently disabling a melee attack can be the edge you need to dominate the table. In short, *Debilitate* is a card trick that strips a creature’s power, letting you control the battle more precisely and strategically, without much math. It’s a promo card that can’t be bought, but it’s worth having if you want to add a surprise twist to your wizard duel.
