If this card is on the losing side of the battle, it destroys one champion anywhere in play, chosen by this player.

This ally can draw a card from the opposing player's draw pile, playing it on this player's side if applicable or discarding it otherwise.

These allies can be played in combat regardless of cards that prohibit allies from being played. If played during a successful defense of a realm, one of the attacker's realms is razed (chosen by the attacker).
