Who is Corvina?
The raven witch spreads black wings over her pieces and patches the fallen back together.
Corvina Ravenwing has thirteen ravens, and every one of them is a spy. She knows who in the circle snacks in secret, who snores and who hid Bruno Cloudburst’s socks (she did). Her wings of shadow protect everything that belongs to her, and she believes that everything really belongs to her. She rarely laughs, but when she does, she caws.
Before the first move, Corvina hides the Feather trap on the board. If your opponent moves onto the square, raven wings beat down: the piece is pushed back one square and Corvina gains 8 mana.
