About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! Check out this promo card for Mage Wars, the Summoning Circle! Originally handed out at BashCon in 2013, this little gem tweaks the dynamics of summoning your creatures. You know how when you conjure a critter, it usually appears right next to you? With the Summoning Circle, your mage can place that creature in its designated zone instead of their own, and the best part: range and line of sight don't matter! This opens up a range of new tactics to surprise your opponent, allowing for more strategic, and perhaps even slightly sneakier (just kidding!), summons. It's a small card, but it can make a significant difference in a wizard duel. If you already enjoy the tactical and magic-filled gameplay of Mage Wars, this promo is a cool item to add to your collection and experiment with new plays. It doesn't change the game entirely, but it adds that extra spice for those who love exploring all the nuances of the system. Think about how to use this to your advantage to control the battlefield or flank the adversary. It's the magic of surprise in card form!
