I’m not sure what Rhoniore was speaking to if his experience was different, but I ordered this a while ago and to my knowledge this never came shipped with the cards, nor did the store page claim it does (it just makes reference to the Champion card within the game who this character is based on). In fact the store page actively states that it does not come with any cards.
For what it’s worth, you don’t need those cards for the functionality of this statue in the ESWA game, it represents a different function in the game anyway (when you kill a wizard) and replaces the cardboard standee that comes standard packed in the game. Or just like awesome shelf statue 😉
