For the moment, all the hype within the Splinterlands community was due to Conclave Arcana, the 6th major set that will be released into the game and currently was on it's presale period which comes with exclusive promo cards and titles as well as the opportunity to design the 6 Legendary Archons for the top 6 presale buyers. If you wonder what an "Archon" is, basically it was just a name rebrand for summoners. Speaking of Archons, we also have rare Archons and as of the moment, 5 of them has already been revealed.
And so, for this week's Community Engagement Challenge, I will share with you the currently revealed #ConclaveArcana Archons and my general thoughts about them.
Conclave Rare Archons
Archons will be the new term that players will be using for the summoners of Conclave Arcana. This rebranding was made to make it clear that we, the players are the Battle Mage Summoners and we are imbuing our selves by manifesting the Archons into the battle. Aside from the rebranding, there were also a few tweaks that was made to make it easier to distinguish between a unit and an Archon. First, Archons has a glowing rune indicator in the base of their card frame. The second feature was the Bloodline Dominion which aside of being a means to distinguish an Archon, it was also a new game mechanic that will be introduced in Conclave Arcana.
In this mechanic, Conclave Arcana Card will have race and bloodlines where each cards belongs to and Archons will have the ability to use any unit that shares their race or bloodline regardless of their element as long as its available in the battle ruleset. At the same time, Archons can give abilities to units that shares their bloodline. Once Conclave Arcana was released all the previous sets will also be tweaked to have their race to make them more synergetic with the new summoners. As of the moment, we have 5 rare Archon card that was revealed. The following were:
Fifthe Bladestorm
| Edition |  Conclave Arcana |
|---|---|
| Mana Cost | 4 |
| Element |  Fire |
| Race | Dwarf |
| Rarity | Rare |
| Abilities | + 2 on all ally units |
| Bloodline Dominion |  Void |
Fifthe Bladestorm was the Archon for the fire element that belongs to the Dwarf race. Aside from giving 2 armor on all ally units, its bloodline dominion allows it to give the Void ability on units that belongs to the dwarf race. An example of this from the Rebellion set will be Dalthin Ironhood and Grimbardun Smith.

For the Water element, we have the Archon Gorgug The Endless which belongs to the Orc race that reduces the range attacks of all opponent units by 1 and for its Bloodline dominion, It will give the Enrage ability to units that shares the same race with it like Warborn Shaman and Night Stalker.

On the other hand, Kalia Silverleaf was an Earth archon that belongs to the elf race with the ability to reduce the magic damage of all opponent units by 1 and it can summon its fellow elf units such as Rune Arcanist and Thanalorian Scion to give them the Execute ability.

Meanwhile, this beautiful lady here was the archon, Bella Ratajowlski form the Ulund race that gives the Reflection Shield ability on all ally cards.

For the Death unit, they have the archon Razi Clanktrap from the Gnome race. It can bestow the Close Range ability on ally range units and at the same time, it gives fellow Gnome units the Painforge ability which increases the damage of the card whenever they received damage from Poison or Burning debilitation. Some cards that benefits from this are Daigendark Surveyor and Nimbledook Explorer.

Also don't forget that because of the Shapeshift ability there were 3 other cards that can benefit from the effects of Bloodline Dominion since they will be considered as any race. The three cards were Arcane Skinwalker, Gramel The Hunger and Bren Palesworn
