About the game
What you do in a play session
Introducing the Blacksaber promo card for Summoner Wars (Second Edition), a mercenary ready to spice up your battles! This warrior comes with a very affordable cost, especially considering the power she brings to the table. But beware: here, it's all about who's willing to pay the price! Blacksaber is one of those units that can switch sides mid-combat if your opponent decides to make an irresistible offer to recruit her. It's a calculated risk, a gamble that could turn the tide in your favor or leave you vulnerable. The question is: are you willing to bankroll this mercenary and take that chance to secure victory? This card adds an extra layer of unpredictability and negotiation (in a very direct way!) to your games, making every move even more tense. Perfect for those who enjoy the thrill of having a trump card that could be snatched away at any moment, or for those who like to snatch their opponent's trump card. Prepare your deck, Blacksaber is ready to jump into action and test your courage and your magical wallet!
