31/RR

Monster

Common

Flyer. Can cast wizard spells. Any magical items attached to Falx cannot be discarded by any means. Gains 1 additional level for each attached magical item.

The Spellfire Reference Guide Volume II incorrectly states that Falx gains 1 to his base level for each attached magical item. Because the card does not specify base level, it is the adjusted level that is increased.

Falx's special power refers to removal of magical items against the player's will. Magical items whose power is triggered by voluntarily discarding the item, such as Blamblower and Well of Many Worlds can still be discarded and used normally.

Falx gains one to his adjusted level for each magical item.

The Spellfire Reference Guide Volume II incorrectly states that allies used with Phoebus return to the player's hand, win or lose. As the card states, allies only return to the player's hand if Phoebus is defeated.

Allies only return to the player’s hand if they are on the losing side of the battle.

Earthwalker. If King Snurre doesn't attack on his turn, at the beginning of another player's turn he can order an opponent' champion not to attack that turn.

King Snurre's power can only be used against one other opponent until the player's next turn. The player announces his use of King Snurre's power at the start of the targeted opponent's turn. The opponent then cannot attack during his phase 4. After the player has taken another turn, and not attacked with King Snurre, the player may target the same or another opponent with King Snurre's special power.

King Snurre’s power to order a champion not to attack occurs when specified on the card, not in phase 3 of the owning player’s turn as is normal.

44/RR
Monster
6
AD&D
Common

Nosnra can attack any AD&D realm, regardless of position or powers. Nosnra is level 10 if no allies are played with him.

The Spellfire Reference Guide Volume II incorrectly states that Nosra gains 4 to his adjusted level if no allies are played with him in battle. However, it is Nosra's base level that is increased to 10 when no allies are played.

Nosnra gains his base level increase whether he is attacking or defending and not using allies.

Ombi the Renegade Dwarf

45/RR
Hero
4
AD&D
Common

Ombi gains earthwalking if any player has a giant in play. He can be used as an ally for any giant in battle, returning to his pool afterward unless discarded during battle.

Mordenkainen's Disjunction

46/RR
Wizard Spell

Rare

Destroys all magical items and artifacts in one pool unless the affected player can draw a card with a last digit of 2 or less. (Drawn card is discarded). (Off/3)

47/RR
Cleric Spell

Common

Kills any opposing champion or ally of base level 5 or less. Undead are immune to this spell. (Off/3/4)

Intercession

48/RR
Cleric Spell

Uncommon

Can be cast at any time. This spell cancels the effects of any just-played event card. (Off)

Intercession is the cleric version of Limited Wish (43/FR), being able to cancel an opposing event, helpful or harmful. Only events that actually disallow spellcasting prevent the casting of this spell, such as Dead Magic Zone (7/FR)and Nullification (35/PO), unless Intercession is played immediately to negate that even!.

Playing Intercession negates the effects of an event for all players, removing it entirely from the game, unlike the event Calm (400/3rd) which negates the event only for that player. An event canceled by this spell cannot be duplicated by cards such as Onad the Weasel (6/AR Chase) or the Bell of Might (18/FR Chase}. Intercession can be cast at any time, even during another player's turn . Remember that clerics in play must still have the permission of the Arch-Druid (189/3rd) to cast this spell.

Despite the wording of the card, it can be used to cancel an event that remains in play, such as Bronze Dragons.

Conjure Earth Elemental

49/RR
Cleric Spell

6

Uncommon

The +6 ally summoned with this spell stays with the casting champion until the beginning of this player's next turn. Opposing earthwalking allies are immediately discarded. (Off/4)

The Spellfire Reference Guide Volume II incorrectly states that this spell cannot be turned or reflected. However, because the spell is labeled offensive (it probably should have been labeled defensive), it has been ruled that this spell can be turned or reflected. If it is turned or reflected, the champion casting the Spell Turning or Reflection gains the benefit of the conjured ally.

These spells can be Spell Turned or Reflected normally.

Conjure Fire Elemental

50/RR

Cleric Spell

5

Common

The +5 ally summoned with this spell stays with the casting champion until the beginning of this player's next turn. Opposing allies of +2 or less are incinerated (discarded). (Off/4)

However, because the spell is labeled offensive (it probably should have been labeled defensive), it has been ruled that this spell can be turned or reflected. If it is turned or reflected, the champion casting the Spell Turning or Reflection gains the benefit of the conjured ally.

These spells can be Spell Turned or Reflected normally.

Conjure Air Elemental

51/RR

Cleric Spell

4
Uncommon

The +4 ally summoned with this spell stays with the casting champion until the beginning of this player's next turn. Opposing flying allies are immediately discarded. (Off/4)

The Spellfire Reference Guide Volume II incorrectly states that this spell cannot be turned or reflected. However, because the spell is labeled offensive (it probably should have been labeled defensive), it has been ruled that this spell can be turned or reflected.

These spells can be Spell Turned or Reflected normally.

Conjure Water Elemental

52/RR

3

Common

The +3 ally summoned with this spell stays with the casting champion until the beginning of this player's next turn. Opposing swimming allies are immediately discarded. (Off/4)

However, because the spell is labeled offensive (it probably should have been labeled defensive), it has been ruled that this spell can be turned or reflected. If it is turned or reflected, the champion casting the Spell Turning or Reflection gains the benefit of the conjured ally.

These spells can be Spell Turned or Reflected normally.

Energy Drain

54/RR

Wizard Spell

Draw and discard a card when this spell is cast, noting the last digit. Subtract that number from the target champion's level. If the level reaches 0, the champion is discarded. Undead are immune to this spell. (Off/3/4)

Tyranthraxus, The Possessing Spirit

55/RR

Event

Rare

Play on an opponent's champion, who then becomes a monster able to cast wizard spells. The champion remains under control of the event player until canceled. (Harmful)

The target of this event becomes a monster able to cast wizard spells. It also loses any special powers. Powers associated with the type of champion (e.g. psionicist's ability to use psionic powers, clerics ability to cast cleric spells) are lost.

Any cards attached to the champion when Tyranthraxus is played remain attached. Similarly, if the event is removed (such as with Limited Wish, or Wish), the champion returns to its original pool with all attached cards, whether they were attached before or after Tyranthraxus was played.

If Tyranthraxus is played on a champion with the Bell of Might, the Bell may duplicate the event so that the champion stays in his player's pool.

If a player plays Tyranthraxus on an opponent's champion, and the opponent plays Deflection, directing the Tyranthraxus event to one of the original player's champions, that champion remains in the player's pool, but loses its special powers and becomes a monster that can cast wizard spells.

When an opponent attacks, Tyranthraxus can be played on the opposing champion. If played before a defender is chosen, the opponent may attack with another champion. If played after the defender is chosen, the battle is over.

This event razes any realm that can only be attacked by swimmers and any realm that can only be attacked by earthwalkers. The realm doesn’t have to have both of these qualifications on it to get razed. If it has either one, it is subject to the power (even if additional requirements, like “only flyers and swimmers,” exist on the card).

Star Gem of Martek: Clear Crystal

77/RR
Magical Item

1
Rare

Spells cast by the attached champion cannot be dispelled. If all five Star Gems are joined, the attached champion can choose to win any battle, automatically razing the realm. If this power is used, the Star Gems are discarded. (Def)

This magical item is one of five Star Gems, and when some or all are brought together they gain additional special power.

This Star Gem is an excellent choice for any SPELLFIRE deck containing spellcasting champions. Any spell cast by the attached champion cannot be dispelled. This includes the use of Dispel Magic (346/358/3rd) and Genie Bottle (436/3rd), but not the effects of the Amulet of Spell Protection (AR Chase/17). This doesn't allow a champion to cast spells when they normally cannot, like under Nullification (35/PO).

If all five of the Star Gems are joined together, the champion can win any one battle and automatically raze the realm. If this special power is used, discard all five of the attached Star Gems. Since this special power is defensive, realms and champions immune to offensive magical items are not exempt from this effect.

Star Gem of Martek: Amethyst

78/RR
Magical Item

4 Uncommon

If the attached champion is discarded as a result of combat, the opposing champion is sent to the Abyss. If joined with another Star Gem, the attached champion gains an additional 5 levels. (Def)

Being discarded as a result of combat means being defeated. For example, if the Headless Horseman uses its power to automatically win a battle, it is then discarded. However, if the Horseman has the Star Gem of Martek: Amethyst attached, the opposing champion does not go to the Abyss. The Horseman was discarded due to the use of its special power, not as a result of combat.

Big Giant's Rock

79/RR

Magical Item

80/RR
Magical Item

6
Common

Usable only by giants. Opposing champions must discard one ally of level 7 or less if this item is played during battle. Opponents cannot add magical items in battle. (Off)

The Spellfire Reference Guide Volume II incorrectly states that the opponent selects the ally to be discarded. The ally is selected by the player, not the opponent.

This magical item works just like its lesser cousins, in that the owner of the Huge Giant’s Rock gets to choose which ally is discarded.

Enormous Giant's Rock

81/RR

Red Dragon

88/RR
Ally

5
Uncommon

Flyer. This ally's level increase to +7 if played with a dragon champion. All allies played after the red dragon may be considered flyers (player's choice).

If Red Dragon is played with a dragon champion, its special power is activated and its level bonus becomes +7. If the ally is later forced to switch sides, its level bonus remains +7, even if the new champion is not a dragon, since its special power had already been activated.

Rampaging Oni

89/RR

Ally

4

Common

When played, all psionic power cards in play are canceled and no more can be played during this round of battle. Oni becomes +7 if played with a Forgotten Realms champion.

1/RR

Chase

Brain Drain

2/RR

Chase
Event
Play this event to cancel a just-used psionic power card or psionic ability or play on an opponent's pool to prevent the use of psionics by champions until the end of this player's next turn. (Harmful)

The Spellfire Reference Guide Volume II incorrectly states that when played on an opponent's pool, Brain Drain only prevents psionic power cards and offensive psionic abilities form being used. As the card states, Brain Drain prevents all psionics from being used.

The event stops defensive psionic powers as well as those of an offensive nature, as stated in the card text.

The Toad

3/RR

Chase
Magical Item

2
Play this magical item during a round of battle to reduce an opposing wizard's or cleric's base level to 0. If attached to a monster, the champion gains an additional 4 levels. (Off)

Holy Sword Chrysomer

5/RR

Chase
Artifact
6
AD&D
Can only be attached to heroes of any world (excluding undead). Destroys up to 10 levels of opposing undead allies. Undead champions of level 8 or less cannot enter battle against the attached champion

If the Holy Sword is played after battle begins with an undead champion of level 8 or less, it functions like a wall spell. The opponent returns to its pool but is considered defeated.

Manshoon of the Zhentarim

6/RR

Chase
Wizard
8
Forgotten Realms

If Manshoon is about to be discarded for any reason (including through combat but excluding being sent to the Abyss), his player can discard a card from his hand instead. Manshoon returns to his pool; he cannot be used again until his player's next turn.

If Manshoon has recently cast Wish, he may not be saved by discarding a card, since he cannot use his special power.

If Manshoon is defeated in battle while the Libram of Ineffable Damnation is attached, he is sent to the Abyss.

Manshoon's power can be used to keep him from going to Limbo or the Void.

Card Combo (from Shadowlord's Spellfire Page): Use Manshoon of the Zhentarim to cast Raze, then discard a card from the hand to keep Manshoon from being discarded. If cast on a realm Manshoon is attacking, the player draws Spoils of Victory.

Undead Regeneration

7/RR

Chase
Event
Retrieve all undead from the event player's discard pile. Champions go directly to the pool, and allies to his hand. (Helpful)

Undead avatars retrieved from the pool must still have the normal conditions met for bringing the avatar into play.

The Dark Lens

8/RR

Chase
Artifact

Dark Sun

Can only be attached to psionicists. Adds 3 levels to any psionic power card bonus. Can be discarded to use a psionic power card that cannot be canceled or countered by any means. Opposing champions cannot use psionic power cards.

Book of the Damned

9/RR

Chase
Magical Item

Can only be attached to wizards. If successful during a round of combat, one friendly ally remains with the wizard, becoming undead; its level and powers are unchanged. (Def)

Horn of Change

10/RR

Chase
Magical Item

Can only be attached to monsters. Once per round of battle this item forces an opponent to discard a just-played card and replace it with another. If he cannot legally play another card, he automatically loses the battle. (Off)

The Spellfire Reference Guide Volume II incorrectly states that cards affected by the Horn return to the player's hand, in exchange for another card. As the card states, a card targeted by the Horn is discarded.

Cards attached to the champion before combat or before the Horn is played are immune to the power of the Horn.

The explanatory text is incorrect. A just-played card is discarded, not returned to the hand.

Kuroth's Quill

11/RR

Chase
Artifact
Greyhawk
Once per round of combat the attached champion can choose to ignore the level bonus or power of any card.

Like the Rod of 7 Parts, Part 7, this artifact can ignore the level of an opposing champion, making it level 0 for the round.

Dodge

12/RR

Chase
Event
Play to instantly counter one unarmed combat card or ignore one opposing ally's special power. If played to counter an unarmed combat card this player draws two cards. (Helpful)

While this event's nature is actually harmful (countering a card played by an opponent) it is considered helpful, and therefore is not affected by Calm.

Runes of the Future

13/RR

Chase
Magical Item

2
The attached champion can be discarded at the end of his player's turn to search his draw deck for any one card. Place this card so it is the first or second card drawn on the next turn. (Def)

Unfortunately, to do this the player must discard the champion carrying the Runes of the Future.

When discarding a champion to use this card's special powers, it must be done at the end of a player's turn (after phase 5). One card is moved in the draw pile to be the first or second card in the pile. This action is last in phase 5, done Just before knocking and passing the turn along.

A good combination for this magical item is to piny cards like Good Fortune (100/3rd) or Treasure Fleet (214/2nd) to immediately gain the card that was just placed at the top.

Placing the chosen card second from the top is also a good tactic, as it protects it from being discarded by special powers such as those of Marco Volo .

Cursed Idol

14/RR

Chase
Magical Item

1
If the attached champion is discarded as a result of combat, the idol transfers to the opposing champion and inflicts a terrible curse. The cursed champion must attack every round. If he cannot, his player must raze his foremost realm. (Off)

A champion cursed with the Idol must attack or the player must raze his foremost realm. If for any reason the champion cannot attack, including realm restrictions or another player casting Fear, the player must raze a realm.

If a cursed champion is subsequently defeated in battle, the Cursed Idol would transfer to the next winning champion – and so on.

Tower of Spirits

15/RR

Chase

Holding

Ravenloft

Only undead may attack the attached realm.

The strategy described in the text is incorrect, since any champion selected to attack must be legal in all respects (you can’t choose a champion unable to attack in an effort to end the battle).

Gib Kcir

16/RR

Chase

Hero

5

AD&D

Immune to harmful events. Discard this champion from her pool to the Abyss to send any nonrealm card in play to the Abyss as well.

Gib Kcir's power can be used in phase 3 to remove a nonrealm card from play.

If Gib Kcir is used to remove a Dungeon card from play, she goes to the Abyss. The Dungeon card goes to the Void.

Liga BSW: a título de esclarecimento, Gib Kcir é um campeão fêmea.

Card Combo (from Desafio aos Corajosos 2013): Jerome Kasinskaia (8/IQBR)’s special powers can be used to retrieve Ward of Freedom (411/4th ed) and Divine Intervention (81/DL) from the discard pile to this player’s hand, allowing him to use Gib Kcir’s special powers many times during a match!

Dispel Psionics

17/RR

Chase
Cleric Spell

This spell can be cast at any time to negate the effects of a psionic power card or a psionicist's special power. Negated special powers cannot be used again until the end of that player's next turn. (Def)

This is a counter-effect card, usable to negate psionics.

Psionic Reflection

18/RR

Chase
Cleric Spell

This spell can be cast at any time to reflect back the effects of a just-played offensive psionic power card upon the original user. (Def)

This is a counter-effect card, able to reflect psionic power cards.

This spell can only be used to reflect back an offensive psionic power card that has been cast at the player of this spell. Just like with Spell Turning and Reflection, a player cannot “turn back” a spell that is not aimed at him. A champion outside the battle can aid a fellow champion, just like Dispel Magic and similar spells.

Icon of Magic

19/RR

Chase

Artifact

AD&D

All champions in play must ask this player's permission to use offensive wizard spells.

All champions must ask permission of the holder of the Icon before casting offensive wizard spells. Realms and holdings capable of casting spells do not have to ask permission. Similarly, items such as the Quill Pen of the Planes that can duplicate spells do not have to ask permission to duplicate a spell, as long as the original spell was allowed.

Nectar of the Gods

20/RR

Chase

Artifact

AD&D

All champions in play must ask this player's permission to use offensive cleric spells.

Boots of Fharlanghn

21/RR

Chase

Magical Item

Defensive

The champion wearing these boots gains earthwalking and swimming abilities as needed. A cleric wearing these boots can make unlimited attacks upon an opponent's realm until it is razed or the cleric is defeated. (Off)

The Boots of Fharlanghn is incorrectly identified as an offensive magical item. It has no effect on the opponent, so is actually a defensive magical item.

Card Combo (from Spellfire Reference Guide Volume II): Halcyon can enter battle, cast Mindkiller on the opposing champion to win the battle, and then retrieve Mindkiller from the discard pile. If the Boots of Fharlaghn is attached, Halcyon can continue attacking, repeating the cycle.

Card Combo: Attach the Chest of Many Things to Joliet the Rash and choose for Joliet to become a cleric. Then attach the Boots of Fharlanghn. Now Joliet may make unlimited attacks on an opponent's realm and draw a spoils after each victory.

The Crystal Cave

22/RR

Chase
Realm
AD&D
Only spells can be used when attacking this realm by combat. Allies magical items, and artifacts have no effect.

The Fair Princess

23/RR

Chase
Hero
AD&D
In combat, this champion banishes opposing dragons to Limbo until the end of their owner's next turn. Dragon allies cannot be played against her.

The Phylactery

24/RR

Chase
Magical Item

(Def)

Can only be attached to a spellcasting undead champion. If this champion is defeated as a result of combat, send this item to the Abyss to return him to his pool instead.

Though not marked on the card, this magical item is considered defensive.

If this item is attached to Strahd Von Zarovich, he immediately returns to his pool upon defeat, rather than going to Limbo.

Any undead capable of casting spells can use the Phylactery; they do not have to be a wizard or cleric.

Portal to Limbo

25/RR

Chase
Event
Play this event on an opponent's champion, who must draw and discard a card noting the last digit. The affected champion is sent to Limbo for a number of turns equal to the digit. (Harmful)

This event may be negated by any player, but may only be calmed by the attacker, not the defender, since it is only harmful to the attacker.

Broken Arrow is played during combat, which means that the special powers of the attacker and defender have already activated. Therefore Broken Arrow will prevent an instant defeat caused by one of the champion's special powers.
