About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey board game fans! Check out this promotional Mage Wars card, Selesius, the East Wind! Released at Gen Con 2013, this beauty adds a new conjurer to your magical duel arsenal. Get ready to summon Selesius, an elemental being with a mana cost of 21, but who makes up for it with 13 health points and robust armor. Its quick attack with the Halberd, using 4 dice and featuring piercing, can deal considerable damage. But the real showstopper is the Full Attack: a powerful ranged wind blast, capable of pushing enemies away with a roll of 7+ on the dice. Plus, it has the ability to sweep the battlefield, be unavoidable, and gain bonuses against flying and ethereal targets. This card is a potent addition for those who enjoy the tactics and intensity of Mage Wars combat, especially if you like controlling the battlefield and dictating the fight's pace. The non-foil version was included in the Forcemaster vs Warlord expansion, ensuring more players could access this elemental power. If you're already a Mage Wars fan looking for new ways to surprise your opponent, Selesius might be the missing card in your collection to turn the tide in your favor!
