Rise of the Floodborn adds 204 new cards plus more Enchanted variants for a total of 216 cards
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, that player loses half their life, rounded up
The deck starts by casting powerful creatures with abilities that trigger when you cast spells including Alania (copies spells), Valley Floodcaller (flash, anthem effect), Stormcatch Mentor (haste, prowess, reduces spell cost), Harnesser of Storms (draw), and Coruscation Mage (offspring, direct damage)
