About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! If you're a Mage Wars fan always on the lookout for new ways to spice up your games, check out this promo: the Raincloud Conjuration card! This special card, given out at organized play events, introduces an ethereal creature that can turn the tide of battle. With an 8 mana cost and 5 health, the Raincloud is incorporeal and flying, plus it's immune to Hydro. Its special ability affects its zone: all objects within gain -2 Fire and Acid, but still regenerate 1 health. To top it off, during each upkeep phase, you can spend mana to remove Burn or Corrode conditions from an object in Raincloud's zone. And the best part: once per round, you can pay 1 mana to move the Raincloud to an adjacent zone and attach it there. It's a card that adds an interesting tactical layer, controlling the battlefield and offering unique defensive support. Perfect for those who enjoy planning and controlling the game, while adding a touch of unpredictability with the dice rolling and simultaneous action selection the base game already provides.
