Arcane Wonders has announced the October release of an expansion to Mage Wars Arena entitled Mage Wars Arena: Paladin vs. Siren.

The new expansion features the two eponymous combatants, and a whole array of new cards for them to enter into battle in the Arena. The Paladin is a beacon of holy light, able to call for holy powers like Luminous Blast, Pillar of Righteous Flame, and Smite. The Siren can call forth the sea to the Arena and bring with it an army of aquatic monstrosities.

Mage Wars Arena: Paladin vs. Siren contains 264 spell cards, 2 custom spellbooks, 2 mage cards, 2 mage ability cards, die-cut markers, and rules. It requires the base Mage Wars Arena core set to play. MSRP is $39.99.

Earlier this year, Arcane Wonders released Mage Wars Academy and several other expansions to both Mage Wars Academy and Mage Wars Arena (see "'Mage Wars' Introduces 'Priestess,' 'Warlock'").
