Lore
Arcane Explosion is a mage spell from World of Warcraft. It is an instant AoE effect, used primarily for clearing out low-health trash mobs, and by Arcane mages to fuel their Arcane Barrage spell. It is very effective for dealing AoE damage while moving, and for bringing nearby rogues out of stealth. This card's flavor text is purely humorous: no spell named Arcane Implosion actually exists.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Scourgewar" series, for the card Arcane Burst.
