Extended description

arrow

This is another card castable only by dragon casting champions, not any other type of wizard casting champion. This spell may prevent an opponent's champion from defending against any attacking dragon for the duration of the casting player's turn. The spell ends as soon as this player's turn ends, even if he gets an extra turn from cards such as a The Caravan [4th-131]. Champions that are hit by this spell may still do actions outside of battle. This includes champions like the Stone Giant [4th-264], who could still discard an ally in battle even though he could not enter battle against a dragon, or The Hapless Halfling [DU-42], who would still give levels to adventurers and halflings.

This spell is a dragon only spell, and should not be put in a deck that does not contain many dragon champions. In conjunction with other debilitating spells, such as Otto's Irresistible Dance [BR-61], a player could leave a defender's pool full of useless champions and open for dragon attack. This spell's power comes from the ability to stun a particularly nasty champion that could stop an attack upon it's realms, giving the attacking dragons a better chance of razing a realm. Use this spell on a champion with either a high level or a power that could stop an attacker cold in its tracks, such as a champion with the Net of Entrapment [4th-169] when the casting player's support is mainly allies, or Lovely Colleen [1st-c22]. With careful selection this spell could win a close battle that might be lost otherwise.
