Good Citizens,

We are pleased to announce new additions to the arena for the month of November.

Enhancements

Those attuned to the Ether can harness its energy to gain a strategic advantage without directly damaging the opponent. Skilled etherists assert their dominance by weaving spells that grant substantial protection from attacks, swiftly teleporting to unleash devastating strikes, stripping away the defenses of their foes, conjuring reflective wards, and even assuming an ethereal form to evade incoming assaults.

• Barrier - gain 4 block
• Flanking Teleport - +1 damage this turn
• Remove Block - remove all block from target
• Ethereal Form - 50% chance to dodge attacks
• Reflect Ward - 50% chance to reflect damage

Items

• Etherist Robe - armor item that reduces the energy cost of Ether cards.
• Reflect Crystal - crystal item that provides 15% chance to reflect attacks.
• Staff of Disorientation - weapon item that adds a free Disorient spell to the deck
