This expansion introduces a mono-divine magic preconstructed deck that includes new player cards focused on enhancing gameplay through strategic depth.
Key Features of the Expansion: Mono-Divine Magic Deck
The expansion features several spells intended to integrate precision and speed into gameplay, essential for both offensive and defensive strategies. The spells previewed include “Pride,” “Fork Lightning,” and “Intercession,” each offering different tactical advantages.
- Pride: This alteration spell provides buffs through divine magic, ensuring strategic plans unfold predictably. However, the spell also allows for counteraction with equal certainty from opponents.

- James: Opting for a retaliatory approach, James utilizes “Soulfire” to harness spirits for attacking foes with fire.
- Xander: With “Bravery,” Xander ensures his and his allies’ survival in combat by fostering mutual protection and loyalty.
- Dimona: Taking an active role in battle, Dimona uses “Take to the Skies and Divinity Mount” to attack from above, controlling the battlefield aerially.
