Agreed. Would be massively helpful.

Thanks guys for the replies. Regarding actual play, I got stomped by the priestess late game - I let the game drag on too long, and stun/daze really did me in, like sdougla2 said. While the forge managed to produce all my equip, I feel like I really need to get Sectarus to make this build work. I simply could not put curses out fast enough, and was wasting actions casting when I should have been meleeing. Other than quick casting and then melee, is there another way to get a curse out when I need to melee attack that round? I really would love to QC, then quick spell a curse, then melee. Is that a possibility, or is sectarus my best option?

Wow! Excellent analysis. Much appreciated. So I definitely see the point about swarms; I removed Suppression Orb and replaced with Force Sword (hoping to cancel out some Daze/Stuns) and Regrowth Belt, and removed Maim Wings & Reverse Magic. Mongoose Agility is too good, don't know why it wasn't in there in the first place; also added an extra copy of Vampirism for my 'Reaper.
My thoughts on Deathlock are to play it late, when DPSlayer and the Vamp are down, to limit the Priestess's turtling. Maybe a Sacrificial Altar to use their death throes in my favor? With a build like this, though, I fear that is planning to far into the game, as in if I don't shut her down quickly she all but wins through Temple play.
My compatriot loves him some creatures, so I think Demonhide and the AoE spells will stay in. Any other ideas on how to cancel Daze/Stun?

The idea is to get the Forge out first turn at center, along with a cheap equip. Then forge equips me as I move forward flinging curses. Mage Wand will carry Battle Fury, and the Lash will be brought out by turn 4 so dissolves are used on other equip. Dark Pact Slayer will be a Reaper, and I was kicking around the idea of Death Linking the Vampiress, as she can heal anyways. DoT curses like Magebane and Ghoul Rot early, then another Ghoul Rot when it invariably gets dispelled. My buddy plays priestess almost exclusively, so am curious if this is the deck to counter him.

-EDIT- Posted in the wrong forum. Sorry.
