New Voucher Card Incoming: Introducing Ulfga the Blighted
On Tuesday, December 10th, Lyra & Lorn's will remove the Mana Warden card from their shelves. That's right: now is your last chance to get it with Vouchers. After Tuesday, it'll only be available on third-party markets from other players.
But don't worry. Lyra & Lorn's is cooking up something even tastier than the Mana Warden.
Ulfga the Blighted
Ulfga Vaskrathek was once a proud dragutsu of the Gloridax Empire's Dragonsguard, known for her martial prowess and leadership while commanding contingents of drakoshan tasked with escorting supply caravans between the cities of Solace and Oasis. When Dr. Blight's plague first swept across Praetoria, she led efforts to evacuate the afflicted to isolation camps in hopes of containing the infection's spread. But during one such mission, she encountered a group of plague victims who had hidden their symptoms. By the time she realized the danger, it was too late.
The disease transformed her into something terrible. Her scales became mottled and sickly, weeping with toxicity. Her limbs deteriorated until she could no longer wield a weapon. Now, her mere presence saps the strength and vigor from those who draw too close. She is a walking cornucopia of contagion that refuses to die, for the plague has given her a horrific form of immortality. When struck down, blight bursts from her wounds and spreads to those around her, and she rises once more.
Ulfga wanders Praetoria, stripped of pride, honor, and sanity. She is both a reminder and warning—Dr. Blight's plague may be contained, but it was never truly cured.
Let's see. A 5 mana Dragon card with Rebirth, Weaken, Slow, and... what's this? Two new abilities, if my eyes don't deceive me. Savvy battle mages who've followed the latest additions to the Tome of Knowledge might already know what they are.
Untrainable
Cannot be Weapons Trained.
Poison Burst
When defeated, 100% chance to apply Poisoned to attacker and 50% chance to apply Poisoned to units adjacent to attacker. Poisoned units lose 2 health at the beginning of each round.
Let's break it down. debuffs? Weaken and Slow, check. Debilitations? Yup; Untrainable means Ulfga can't ever attack. Bummer, dude. But Poison Burst plus Rebirth? That combo has a chance of Poisoning your opponent's entire team; it's like giving 'em the Noxious Fumes ruleset!
I hope you've been loading up on them Vouchers 'cause...
She'll run ya 1,500 Vouchers for a single BCX, every card purchased has a 4% chance of being Gold Foil, and you'll be guaranteed to receive a Gold Foil card for every 25 cards purchased in a single transaction.

If anyone needs a Vampiric blossom (Oppress and Immunity), I happen to have a few available to rent. There are none up for sale, for some reason.
Has guessed element of the new voucher card as well as 3 of its abilities in my recent social media post.
Great job with the prediction.
Very, very interesting. Super curious to see how this undead bag of poison goes. Well done team!
Wow...thanks for the good efforts, nice one.
update the new slow at lower level now
It took me a while to understand the point of debilitating "abilities", but I get it now. This card would probably be too strong if it had all of its current abilities and could also be trained. It mixes things up a little more to add and subtract.
Slow isn't as bad of an ability as some people are saying, either. Gathering The Magic pointed it out in a YouTube video, but there are only two Rebellion cards with the slow ability.

STOPThat card looks AWESOME
That poison burst👌
🤣 can't Walt for the next one!!! Are we pricing low to high then low again?? Or is it more of a set of Stares??.. asking for a friend 😅
Nice!
Edit: motivation to max out card seems a little soft. change abilities around a bit?
The new card is amazing, but I don't understand the target group for this/ Who are those making enough vouchers in the game to make 1500 for a single card, not even thinking about leveling up?
Vouchers are tradeable/purchasable... So anyone can buy the card. The target market is the people that want the card at the specified cost.
Vouchers are around 12 DEC (= 1 cent) now, so 1 BCX will be roughly 15$ - not cheap! But there will be cheaper ones on the market, as last time. The whales will buy them up and then sell them :-)
People who do get tons of vouchers will probably buy the card in large batches to get gold foil ones, and then I bet they'll be selling some of the regular foil ones. This card will be more interesting to watch than the Mana Warden one, though. It might not be nearly as cheap on the market and it might cause more of a demand for vouchers.
And now to top it off, only the people that max it out truly befit from the card with rebirth and and slow being switched 🤣
1500 vouchers is a lot for one BCX, not in USD amount, but just sheer Voucher volume.
Interested to see how many vouchers we get out of circulation with this one.
interesting
