About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Check out this pack of Mage Wars promos that dropped back in 2013 from the Dice Tower's Kickstarter campaign. It's 10 new cards to spice up your base game. We've got spells like 'Akiro's Favor' for re-rolling dice and 'Hurl Meteorite' for massive damage. For tactical combat fans, there's the 'Ballista' war machine firing piercing bolts, and 'Lion Savagery,' another enchantment granting piercing attacks. Don't forget the 'Vorpal Blade' for more piercing damage. Defenders will appreciate the 'Temple High Guard' that can counter-attack before the main hit! For control and strategic play, 'Gravicor' stops flying creatures, and the 'Morning Star' is hard to avoid. And of course, a tough monster: the 'Bloodcrag Minotaur'. These cards were chosen to bring more variety and tactical options to Mage Wars duels, adding new layers of strategy and surprise for players who already know the base game. Perfect for those looking to upgrade their game and surprise opponents with fresh moves!
