Mulan – Reflecting is a rare cost 4 character with the classifications Floodborn, Hero, and Princess. She can be inked, has 3 Strength and 3 Willpower, and can quest for 2 lore. Because she’s Floodborn, she has Shift (in her case, Shift 2), allowing you to pay 2 ink to play her on top of another character named Mulan. She also has an ability called Honor to the Ancestors, which reads “Whenever this character quests, you may reveal the top card of your deck. If it’s a song card, you may play it for free. Otherwise, put it on the top of your deck.” Her beautiful artwork was done by Lissette Carrera.
In 1998, I was singing along to the Mulan soundtrack on a loop, and this card reminds me of how much I associate her with music. While being Floodborn can transform a character in unpredictable ways, it can also enhance one of their particular qualities or talents. I love the idea that music can follow Mulan – Reflecting whenever she quests.
Because I’m an Amber/Steel player, getting to play a free Steel song like Grab Your Sword or A Whole New World instantly comes to mind. But there’s a combo in Amethyst with Mulan – Reflecting that’s even more on theme…
