About the game
Rin Northfell is a jovial Phoenixborn whose lust for life and battle flares up like a beacon in his frigid homeland. Rin shuns the subtlety of complex magic, preferring spells and monsters as robust and as considerable as his spirit. Ashes: The Frostdale Giants, which features new Phoenixborn Rin Northfell, is a full, ready-to-play Ashes expansion deck that includes two new conjurations and a new conjured alteration spell. Rin requires 10 Natural (blue) dice to play, which are included in the Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn base set. Set Contents: 1 Rin Northfell - Phoenixborn 3 Frost Fang - Ally 3 Rin's Fury - Action Spell 3 Deep Freeze - Alteration Spell 3 Frozen Crown - Alteration Spell 3 Crystal Shield - Alteration Spell 3 Summon Frostback Bear - Ready Spell 3 Summon Ice Golem - Ready Spell 3 Ice Trap - Reaction Spell 3 Frost Bite - Ready Spell 3 Freezing Blast - Action Spell 5 Ice Buff - Conjured Alteration 3 Ice Golem - Conjuration 2 Frostback Bear - Conjuration
