About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, board game enthusiasts! Check out this promo card for Mage Wars, the "Mana Vampirism" enchantment. This little gem was handed out as a reward for participating in organized play, so you know it's got some special spice for your magical duels. It costs 2 Mana and has a range of 0-2, but the real kicker is how it boosts your creatures' melee attacks. With "Magebind +1", these attacks gain the "Mana Transfer +1" trait, essentially letting you siphon mana from your opponent with every hit! To top it off, it features "Quick Attack," allowing a melee attack with 3 dice. In short, get ready to unleash swift strikes while draining your adversary's mana reserves. It's the kind of card that can swing the game, especially if you use it to keep your wizard fueled while pressuring the opponent. Perfect for those who already enjoy the tactical and combat-heavy nature of Mage Wars and want to add another layer of strategy and unexpected turns to their battles.
