About the game

What you do in a play session

The Mage Wars: Mordok's Tome Promo Card is an exclusive bonus that arrived in 2013 as a reward for participating in Organized Play. It was designed for the Arcane Mage, the wizard who spends 5 mana on legendary equipment. What the card does is simple: during the Planning Phase, the Arcane Mage can choose an extra spell. This doesn’t grant an additional spell action, but it gives the player another spell option each round. In gameplay terms, the card acts as a small choice boost, letting the player experiment with different spell combinations without altering the action dynamics. Because it was distributed as a promo, its availability is limited, so those who get it will have a strategic edge, but still must understand it doesn’t replace or increase the number of actions. If you already own the base game and enjoy testing spell-control variations, the card can be a fun add‑on. If not, it may just be another collectible item for your deck. In short, the card provides more spell options, but it doesn’t change the game’s complexity or duration, and it only works with the Arcane Mage in official Organized Play matches.
