Playing With This Expansion
The Scholar of Ruin 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 Rowan Umberend.
Icons are written in brackets as in the base rulebook: [Magic] is the main action symbol (the database writes it as "main"), [Side] and [Exhaust] are the side and exhaust dice symbols, [Basic] is any basic die, [Discard] is the cost of discarding a card, [Ceremonial] is a Ceremonial die, and [Time] is a Time die. "[Ceremonial] class" means a Ceremonial die showing the class symbol, and "[Time] class" or "[Ceremonial] power" means a die showing the class or power symbol. Hyphens in an activation cost separate the parts of that cost as printed on the card.
