About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're a fan of Mage Wars and always looking for an edge to power up your duels, this promo card is for you! The Storm Drake Hide, which debuted at Gen Con 2013, is a neat equipment card costing 6 Mana that gives your Wizard a nice boost. With it, you gain +2 Armor, helping you withstand more damage, and it also adds the 'Lightning -2' trait. This trait can be a strategic game-changer, depending on how it interacts with other cards and spells in the game. It's the kind of card that can turn the tide if used at the right moment. The non-foil version released in the Forcemaster vs Warlord expansion included 3 copies of this gem. So, if you want to add an extra layer of power and defense to your Wizard, this card is an interesting addition to your arsenal. Keep in mind it's a promotional item, so it might be a bit trickier to find, but the impact on gameplay is well worth it for dedicated fans looking to optimize their strategies and surprise opponents with new combinations.
