Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,
To make sure we carry as much as we can, we didn't want to miss out on some of the news articles that are time sensitive as we wanted to make sure you had the best information on hand, each article is what the various companies had to say in their own words...
Nicky and Fabio from the Malediction Game Design team return to the battlefield to break down key cards from Hands of the Church, Courtly Spectacle, Bestial Advantage, and Liastrum Research.
Go beyond the card text and see the ideas behind the new additions, the tactical roles they were created to fill, the synergies to watch for, and how each Reinforcement Pack expands the identity and possibilities of its faction..

Gravelord Spotlight: Blautaric
A Kingdom Devoured
Blautaric was once Lord Borin Vorrinius, one of the ruling nobles of Somermist during the twilight of the Third Age. When the Granum River withered and famine spread through the realm, Borin did not suffer with his people. His granaries remained full, his vaults grew heavier, and every starving household became another chance to tighten his grip.
His greed eventually found a teacher in Maelithar, a dark sorceress who offered him immortality and dominion through necromancy and flesh-weaving. Borin accepted, and the bargain was paid for in the blood of the people he had already bled dry. What came out of that ritual was no longer a lord, but Blautaric: a rotting titan of hunger, wealth, and undeath.
He did not stop with survival. Blautaric turned his own kingdom into a feast. The dead rose under his command, the noble houses of Somermist fell, and even High King Eadred Eldengard could not stop him. Eadred’s defeat became one of Blautaric’s cruelest trophies, his ruined body reshaped into part of the monstrous Necrosteed the Warlord would one day ride into battle.
Blautaric is greed given a corpse’s body. He consumes life, land, loyalty, and history itself, turning everything he takes into another piece of his dead empire.
Choose Your Faction
The endless forest of the Wyldwood is filled with untold creatures, prehistoric monsters and budding tribes. We have picked five factions to introduce for the launch of the game on September 15th, but there are many more to come in the future.
Each faction has its own champions, unique Command cards, and a completely different approach to battle. Whether you want to strike from the shadows, charge headlong into combat, control the battlefield, or simply refuse to die, there’s a faction for you.
Let us know in the comments which you will choose?
Leafsong Nomads
Speed, ranged attacks, healing and wisp control
The elves of the Leafsong live as nomads, moving with the great herds of the Wyldwood. They are unmatched in speed and ranged combat, striking from afar before disappearing back into the forest.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmHX2-1qlCwUrscar Kindred
Melee strength, defence and denial
The primitive dwarves of the Urscar measure themselves against the greatest beasts of the Wyldwood. Powerful and aggressive, they excel in close combat and are willing to sacrifice anything for glory and an eternal life through story.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0mW5C47bhcEmberhold Ascended
Fire, spike damage and wisp destruction
The humans of Emberhold have done something no other people have dared: they have begun to tame the Wyldwood. Armed with fire, strange inventions, and relentless ambition, they are building the world's first city.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6souXbTVloWitherwood Legions
Poison, unrelenting melee and power from death
Once living creatures of the forest, the Witherwood are twisted remnants of forest and flesh. They may be slow, but once they have you trapped, escape becomes almost impossible
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkEM4EpXDVQ
Nightwood Covenant
Magic trickery, AoE damage and endurance
The orcs of the Nightwood live in deep harmony with the forest, carrying the memories of generations that came before them. They call upon ancient wisdom and the spirits of the Wyldwood to endure whatever their enemies throw at them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGmYCpj_PHMWhich Faction Are You?
Five factions. Five very different ways to play, which one are you choosing?
And if you want to go deeper, you can meet all of the champions and learn more about each faction on the live stream we did here.
