Rules
Choose one of the Eligible Medusan Lords below to serve as your Warlord. That character gains the Warlord trait, and is also considered to be a Medusan Lord for purposes of this event, even if they do not have the trait (like Alex Venator). Any other characters that start in play or that come into play lose the Warlord trait.
All characters with the printed Warlord trait are considered Unique.
Deck-building follows normal Ancients Format rules, with a few additional bans listed below. Each Medusan deck may only include their own Medusan specific cards. For example, Masticus Aedroud can run The Storm’s Judgment, but Raath cannot. Any cards listed as “Starts in Play” must be included in your deck. Cards listed as “May Include” can be added to the deck of that specific Medusan, but are not required. Any cards that start in play count towards deckbuilding, including total cards in deck and number of cards by type.
