About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game fans! Check out this promo card for Mage Wars, the 'Stumble Promo Card'. This little gem was handed out at Organized Play events and is part of the 'Allegiance in Blood' story arc. Essentially, it's an enchantment you can cast to make a non-flying enemy creature stumble. It costs 2 mana to cast and 1 to reveal. When you reveal 'Stumble', the targeted creature loses its move action during its action phase. And after it does its job, the card is destroyed. But heads up, creatures with the 'Unmovable' trait are completely unfazed; they remain standing strong. This card also appeared in the 'Druid vs Necromancer' expansion, but in a non-foil version with 6 copies. It's a cool card for adding tactical disruption to your opponent's plans, especially when they're setting up a decisive advance. Think of it as a strategic 'hiccup' on the battlefield. For those who enjoy Mage Wars and want to add a little extra spice to their battles, this card is a neat find. It doesn't radically change the game, but it offers an interesting and unexpected control option. It's the kind of card that makes you think twice before charging in headfirst!
