Playing With This Expansion
The Children of Blackcloud plays under the rules of Ashes Reborn: Rise of the Phoenixborn. Its rules are not repeated here. The cards below are used with the base rules, and the Phoenixborn card is Brennen Blackcloud.
Icons are written in brackets as in the base rulebook: [Magic] is the main action symbol (the database writes it as "main"), and [Side], [Basic], [Exhaust] and [Ceremonial] are the side, basic, exhaust and Ceremonial dice symbols.
Source Conflicts
The card text below comes from the card database. Where the printed card differs, both readings are given.
- Brennen Blackcloud, Spirit Burn. The database reads: "Destroy an ally you control to deal 2 damage to a target Phoenixborn." The printed card reads: "Destroy a unit you control. If you do, you may deal 2 damage to a target unit or Phoenixborn." The database wording is used in the card entry below, and it is unverified against the print. The printed wording is the one to follow if the two disagree.
- Brennen Blackcloud, Life. The database gives Life 16. The printed card gives Life 20. The database value is used in the card entry below, and the printed value is noted beside it.
