Card notes
- The photographs show the card numbers in small print. Legible numbers are MWPROMO01 (Akiro's Favor), MWPROMO04 (Ballista), MWPROMO12 (Lion Savagery), MWPROMO15 (Morning Star), MWPROMO17 (Critical Strike), MWPROMO20 (Temple High Guard) and MWPROMO21 (Vorpal Blade). The numbers on Bloodcrag Minotaur, Gravikor and Hurl Meteorite are not legible in the photographs and are left out.
- Most values on these cards are printed as symbols. Where the card does not print a symbol's name, this transcription gives the symbol's position and the number shown, and does not name it. This applies to the purple, yellow, green, grey and blue symbols and to the blue shield and red numbers on the creature and zone cards.
- Attack lines are given in the order printed on the card: symbol(s), then the attack value, then any trait or effect.
- The smallest print (flavour quotes and card numbers) is the least certain part of the text, because the photographs are not sharp at that size.
