Ravage Cards

There are two types of Ravage cards: Elemental cards and Support cards.

Elemental Cards

These cards represent the Blazing entities the Ravage has sent to raze the forest.

The Elementals stay on the battlefield until they reach the forest, or until they are destroyed. Each turn, they move one space to the left during step 2.

If an Elemental card must move onto a space occupied by another card (Fountain or Tree), combat occurs.

If an Elemental card reaches the fifth space of its row (the forest), it inflicts a number of damage equal to its strength (flip that number of Edge cards to their Desolated side), after which it is discarded. …

1. Two new Ravage cards (Demobilization and Desiccation) are added to the stacks. These cards are presented on page 19. Since this adds 16 cards to the stacks, the battle will last 4 more turns (16 instead of 12).

2. Four new Sylvan cards are also added to your options (Stag, Squirrels, Doves, and Fish).

3. Before the Battle phase, there is a Mobilization phase. It is during this phase that you will need to assemble, as best you can, your Defender deck from the 64 Sylvan cards. This is the Defender deck you will use during the Battle phase, and as such, the deck you assemble each game will be different. …
