About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to spice up your Mage Wars sessions with Sersiryx, the Imp Familiar! This promo card, distributed at organized play events and part of the 'Allegiance in Blood' storyline, brings a new gust of magic to your duel.
Sersiryx is a legendary creature for your wizard, costing 12 Mana with 9 Health and 2 Armor. Not only does he grant you 1 extra Mana per round, but he also attacks with a Quick Attack in melee. When rolling his 2 attack dice, he can deal Fire damage and even apply the Burn effect on a roll of 7+, which can be defrosted. Quite the tactical advantage!
But be warned, Sersiryx has his limitations: he can only cast Level 1-2 Fire Attack spells or Level 1-2 curse enchantments. This means he's focused on direct damage and debuffs, without access to more complex or higher-level spells. Ideal for those who enjoy a more aggressive strategy focused on elemental damage.
This card is perfect for Mage Wars players looking to add variety to their games and experiment with new tactics. If you like the idea of having a loyal, fiery companion on the battlefield, Sersiryx is a valuable addition. He adds an extra layer of strategy, especially in duels where area control and quick damage are crucial. Remember that he's a promotional card, so he might be a bit harder to find, but the hunt is worth it for the most dedicated fans of the series.
