## Description
Hey everyone! Check out this promo card for Mage Wars, the 'Plagued Enchantment', which showed up at Gen Con in 2013. This little card is no joke: it costs 2 Mana to cast and another 4 to reveal, but the damage is guaranteed! As soon as it enters play, it gives you the 'Magebind' power, and during each Upkeep phase, you can deal one point of direct poison damage to ALL living creatures in the same zone as it. Yes, even itself! It's relentless poison, perfect for those who enjoy a more aggressive, attrition-based strategy on the battlefield. If you're already a Mage Wars fan and like adding more tactical options to your arsenal, this card is a gem. It adds an extra layer of poison and zone control that can turn the game in your favor, especially against numerous armies. Think carefully about where you position this threat, because the poison will accumulate and can decimate your opponents bit by bit, without them realizing the danger until it's too late. It's the kind of card that makes you think twice before advancing unprotected.
