Keening

6/RL
Realm
Ravenloft Uncommon

Each round Keening is attacked, one living enemy ally is discarded each round.

Keening's power does not function against undead allies, but any other ally can be affected. Keening's player may determine when to use the power. It may be used at any time during battle to discard the ally of the defender's choice.

Keening's power works on allies, not just ally cards. Allies such as those provided by Axe of the Dwarvish Lords and the Triumvirate realms can be discarded by Keening's power.

Tepest

7/RL
Realm

Realm
Ravenloft
Common

Dementlieu

11/RL
Realm
Ravenloft
Uncommon
Coast

Defender can change the attacking champion to any other champion in the attacker's pool.

The defender can change the attacking champion, but only once per round, and it must be done at the start of the round of battle (i.e. after the attack is announced).

The new attacker selected must be capable of attacking. Thus a champion who has already been in combat cannot be selected. Similarly, a champion that has recently cast Wish cannot be chosen. If Dementlieu is protected, the attacker can only be switched to another champion capable of reaching the realm (e.g. flyer, swimmer, earthwalker).

If the original attacking champion was taken from the player's hand, that champion returns to the hand. If the original attacker has powers that can be invoked before combat begins (i.e. upon attack), those powers may still be used. For example, Agis may still destroy a monster in a pool, even if the defender forces Agis to be exchanged for another attacking champion.

If the original attacker is replaced, he can attack again later in the round.

Magical item

Uncommon

Imitates one magical item attached to any other champion this player's pool. (Def)

The Staff of Mimicry can duplicate the powers of one other magical item in the player's pool. If the imitated item is discarded or otherwise removed from play, a different magical item may be selected for the Staff of Mimicry to duplicate.

The Staff of Mimicry is considered an offensive magical item when duplicating the powers of an offensive magical item.

The Staff of Mimicry can be used to duplicate one of the most powerful magical items, the Bell of Might, allowing the Staff to duplicate events. However, an individual player can only duplicate an event once. For example, the player may only duplicate an opponent's Caravan once, using either the Bell or Staff of Mimicry, but not both on the same event.

The Ring of Reversion cancels all powers as shown in the box on the opposing champion's card. This includes flying, swimming, earth-walking, and use of psionics. The Ring of Reversion only negates a champion's power until the end of the combat round. This includes powers that are triggered upon defeat, such as the powers of Iuz the Evil (167/1st) and Strahd von Zarovich.

Ghost Ship

74/RL
Ally
1
Rare

Champion and allies become flyers. When attacking, can switch attack to a different realm.

The Ghost Ship allows a player to switch his attack to another realm when it is played. Because it makes the champion and allies flyers, any realm can be attacked. The attack can also be switched to another player's realm. The attack can only be switched once and can only be switched at the time the card is played. When the attackers move to another realm, the defending champion returns to the pool and any allies or spells played during the round are discarded. The defender must choose a different champion to defend the new realm.

75/RL
Ally
4
Common

Undead.

Fiend

76/RL
Ally
6
Rare

Vistani

78/RL
Ally
1
Common

If opposing champion is victorious, he loses his power until dispel magic is cast on him. Keep this card with the champion.

Loup-Garou

79/RL
Ally
2
Uncommon

Werebeast. Opposing champion is automatically defeated unless he has or can play a magical item.

Loup-Garou is a powerful ally, despite its low level bonus. When played, the opposing champion must have, or immediately play, a magical item. Loup-Garou's power can be avoided if the opponent plays Airship, which functions as a counter-effect for allies, or has a card that destroys allies, such as the 1st edition Brine Dragon or Ankheg, provided that the card is in play before the Loup-Garou is played and that its power has not already been used. Likewise, if your opponent has the Stone Giant in his pool, its power to destroy an ally can be activated before Loup-Garou's power.

Loup-Garou can be used in many nasty combinations. The set of combinations known as Peek's Loup-Garou Two-Step calls for playing a card that destroys magical items prior to playing the Loup-Garou. These magical item-destroying cards include the champions Midnight, Goddess of Magic, Kiara, Captain Kazhal, Harkon Lukas; events Wind of Disenchantment, Sky Singers, Fast Talking!; and the realm Icewind Dale.

Flesh Golem is an excellent card to use with the Loup-Garou in combat, since it destroys magical items. If the Flesh Golem is played first, the opponent may still play a magical item to satisfy the Loup-Garou, but is discarded immediately after being played.

Playing Loup-Garou can backfire if the opponent plays a magical item that causes the Loup-Garou to switch sides, such as Shield of Wickedness or Amulet of the Beast.

Card Combo (from zuse2@webtv.net): In battle, cast ESP, which requires that the cards played into battle by the opponent are played face down. If the player guesses the card type, it is discarded. After ESP is in play, play a card that requires the opponent to play a certain type of card, such as Melt Bone (requires the opponent play an ally), Loup-Garou (opponent must have or play a magical item), Ki-Rin (opponent must have or play an ally). These cards make it rather easy to guess the next card to be played, ensuring it will be discarded and the opponent will be defeated.

Werebat

80/RL
Ally
3
Common

Flyer. Werebeast.

Mysterious Stranger

81/RL
Hero
3
Ravenloft
Common

One card from the player's hand is kept hidden under this one. Use it in his next battle, then hide a new card.

If the Mysterious Stranger attacks, the card hidden under him activates before the defender's power. Any card can be hidden under the Mysterious Stranger, but only combat cards may be used during battle.The new card to be hidden underneath the stranger must always come from your hand. You are never forced to place a card underneath it. You can play non-combat cards, such as holdings, under it, but they are immediately discarded when the stranger is used in combat. If the stranger is used to attack, the card hidden with him is activated before any card of your opponent Therefore it gets to use its power

first. For example, if a Flesh Golem is hidden under the stranger and your opponent defends with a champion that

already has the Net of Entrapment (217/lst) attached, the golem rips away the net first.

If at that time Strahd cannot return to the pool for any reason (such as the Rule of the Cosmos), he is discarded. Strahd's special power only activates upon defeat. If he wins the battle, but is discarded for another reason, such as the playing of Pit Trap! or Aurak Draconians, Strahd is discarded.
