Iyslander
Stormbind
A woman reborn of ice and snow, Iyslander’s past is a dull ache of distant pain. For as long as she can remember, she has dwelled within the Bleak Expanse, the spirits and creatures of winter her only companions. During this time, her powers have grown from twinkling icicles to shredding storms, from gentle snowdrifts to crushing avalanches.
Iyslander’s arcane talent speaks to the frigid forces of Rathe’s most isolated and hostile environment. Even though her memories remain clouded, her will is as hard and clear as a frosty morning. No matter where she goes, Isylander carries the fierce beauty of the frozen north with her. The ice has been her shelter. The ice is now her strength.
Hero Highlights
Essence of Ice
Iyslander beckons and bends winter at her whim. It's one thing to know the conditions your facing, it's another when the icy winds of winter close in unexpectedly at an instant. Use Iyslander's Frostbite ability to disrupt opponents at instant speed mid-way through their turn.
Arcane Arts
Aether is the central knowledge base of all arcane arts in Rathe. Each school of the arcane manipulates aether in it's own way based on divergent teachings and philosophies, but the raw base property is always aether. Unlike melee fighters who trade blows using the combat chain, defending arcane damage requires special equipment, items, or damage prevention effects.
Winter's Bite

Iyslander
In the far flung regions of the Bleak Expanse, some call her the Ice Queen, some the Witch of Winter. Whatever your outlook, she's going to leave you feeling blue.

Frostbite
Iyslander uses her hero ability to disrupt opposing heroes by creating Frostbites during their turn. When timed right, making an opponent have to pay an additional resource mid-way through their turn, will often be the difference between them playing another card or not.
Kraken's Aethervein
Use Iyslander's Frostbite ability and ice cards to tax the opponent's resources and create windows where they can't prevent the 1 damage from Kraken's Aethervein to get a "free damage".
Channel Lake Frigid
Channel the elemental energy of Lake Frigid to slow the pace of battle. Unlike other Elemental heroes, Iyslander's hero ability allows her to play Lake Frigid during an opponents turn, to really put well laid plans on ice.
Blizzard
Against heroes who want to attack multiple times each turn, Blizzard will stop them in their tracks. And if that wasn't enough, Iyslander's Frostbite ability gives it that extra bit of bite.
Winter's Bite
When the opposing hero is down to their last card in hand, use Iyslander's hero ability to send in the wolves and clear out their turn.
Exposed to the Elements
Expose your enemies weakness to arcane damage by blowing up the arcane barrier equipment opponents typically depend on to fend off a Wizard's damage.
Stir the Aetherwinds
Enable any of your Wizard burn spells, not just "blue" ones, to be played during an opponents turn.
