Die Arena von Tash-Kalar
Webstuhl der Zeit
Master Mages duel in the arena, in teams or each on their own. Three factions control individual decks of creatures to be summoned. You place pieces, so called helpers, in your color; when this results in a pattern depicted on one of your cards you summon the creature and use its effect. Then you discard the card; the creature turns to stone and can be used as part of a new pattern - or revived by the effect of another card and used in combat. In the standard game, you complete tasks for points; in the melee mode you destroy opponents and summon Legendary Creatures from their special deck.
Webstuhl der Zeit / Etherweave is a new player deck that can be used like any other deck in the core game. Zeitweber are the creatures of this expansion, many of them command a so-called Warp Effect to change time. Those effects travel back in time and therefore happen before the creature is summoned. When a Warp Effect is brought into play, the card turns into a Pending Being. You cannot introduce another Warp Effect until the Pending Being has been summoned. A Pending Being reduces your current total score by two points. Warp Effects do not count as an action and can be played before, in between and after other actions; you do not need a pattern for them and the marker piece is not placed on the board. The card is placed on the draw pile, counts towards the hand card limit and can be used for summoning like a card from your hand.
The effects of this deck are spectacular and need some getting used to when you begin to use them; combatants in the Arena of Tash-Kalar will want to play it, just like the other expansions.
