About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a new wave of cunning and subterfuge in Summoner Wars! Jexik, a brilliant strategist, takes command of the Cloaks as the Second Summoner, bringing with her an arsenal of thieves and scoundrels to the battlefield. This expansion, 'Summoner Wars: Cloaks – Second Summoner,' isn't just a handful of cards; it delivers a complete and standalone faction deck, ready to be added to your base game.
Inside this box, you'll find everything you need to step into Jexik's shoes: the Summoner herself, her setup card, three powerful Champions (Kyra, Spider, and Doc), a variety of Common units (Bruisers, Renegades, and Assassins), and a diverse set of Event Cards (Heist, Concealed Weapons, Daring Plan, Clever Diversion, and Vanish) to surprise your opponents. Oh, and of course, the essential three Wall Cards and a Summoner Reference Card to guide you.
It's important to remember: to use Jexik and her Cloaks, you'll need either the Summoner Wars Master Set or a Starter Set. Although it's a complete faction on its own, the beauty of this expansion is its flexibility. You can mix and match Jexik's common cards and champions with the cards from the original Cloaks faction, creating new and unexpected synergies and strategies. It's the perfect opportunity for those who love to customize their deck and surprise opponents with innovative tactics!
