Sand Wars

Minion Masters!
Version 1.4

War! The Scrat factions have waged an all-out assault on the Slither Dominion with their new contraption of carnage, the Wreckinator 9000, to fulfill their insatiable desires for more “Shinies”. The Slither Lords are swift to retaliate, with Apep’s most formidable Herald, Ah’Mun, leading his army of Slitherbound on a mission of pest control…

Sand Wars is a new Expansion packed with new content.

Featuring 10 new Cards:
















New Mechanic: Poison

Deals 20 damage per Second. Extra applications of Poison extend the Duration, but do not stack the Damage. Cannot be applied to Masters or Buildings.

New Faction Mechanic: Call Slitherbound

Adds a Slitherbound Minion to a Slither card in your hand. Summon all Slitherbound when played. Max 3.

New Faction Mechanic: Sacrifice

Kill all Slitherbound you command.

The following Slither minions now have Call Slitherbound:

  • Empowered Soulstealer
  • Hypnotise
  • Living Statue
  • Musketeer
  • Rabid Prowler
