FOIL Celaine - Limited to 100 (Pre-Order)

Throwback to one of the most popular original champions.

Celaine is dear to my heart. Her old ability was good, albeit worded in a way which caused a little bit of confusion. You can swipe to see the old Celaine in the second slide.

In my mind, "heal 2 damage from a champion" was clear. It meant removing 2 stacked damage counters from a champion (either herself or another, because I knew people would be playing team games). Regardless, I thought I could word it a bit clearer this time around. Not only that, but her old ability only allowed her to heal champions. This was of course before companions became a part of the Dragonvault experience. Her new card text allows you to choose a character, which can be either a champion or a companion.

I changed her ability from an "at the start of your turn" to a "during your turn" so her healing ability no longer has to be done before any cards are played on your turn. Just remember, your turn ends when you draw, so you cannot heal after a nasty dragon attack until your next turn.

So I'll admit, the new Celaine is objectively stronger. I'm not trying to make this a pay-to-play thing. You can apply her new text to the old Celaine if you want to do that as a house rules thing. But here she is. And isn't she a beauty?

I wanted to take this opportunity to give her some artwork that really showcased her personality. She is zoomed out quite a bit in this one, which is a huge difference from the portrait-style artwork on her original card. Celaine is, as you might have guessed, an old-money girl. She is not only clever, but diligent. Here she can be seen studying late at the beach. As the sun sinks behind her, she calls forth an orb of glowing light, which illuminates her tome. The light also reflects off of her brilliant golden hair, which has been enriched magically so that it grew to a length typically reserved for elves, though Celaine is of the mortal race of men. Her gaudy attire is befitting of a girl who appreciates the finer things, complete with golden jewelry to complement the lustrous green silk.

Tarn is not just a place that started to exist in my head when I was eight. It's grown, it’s evolved, it’s blossomed. These new cards represent a newfound determination to handle things with greater care and attention to detail. There is magic in this world that I am still discovering.

This card is holographic foil and is limited to 100 copies.

This is a pre-order. Card artwork and text may change before release.
