What is on the card
A knight in armour rides a rearing horse, holding a wand. His tunic is patterned with salamanders, flame-like plumes stream from his helmet, and pyramids rise from the desert behind him.
The rearing horse is energy barely held in check. The salamanders and flame-like plumes tie him to fire: passion, courage and drive. The desert and pyramids suggest distant places, and a journey or a move.
