If the creature is already under the effect of the Poison Condition that would be gained by Mystery Poison, they are Dazed as well.

btw, Guard still doesn't remove Flying for targeting purposes. I still can't melee attack guards who have flying.

I've updated several of the cards in the set, and redid the Geomancer himself a bit.

How are you making these card images?

Bloodspine Wall's regen doesn't seem to be automated.

I hadn't put this in yet, but I suppose a few more rules are needed. I'm going to go through OCTGN some time in the next few days and collect of list of subtypes. Anything not of those subtypes won't be able to use equipment, or at the least certain slots.

I'm also likely to come up with special rules for all Legendary and Epic creatures. Either outright saying "can't use them", or something that will help balance them out. As for the lv 4 vs higher levels thing, already been thinking on it. I'm thinking another balancing factor is going to be the loss of SBP equal to the Mana Cost of your Mage.

Huh. I could have sworn I had done something that automated it once (like forever ago). Oh well.

By "successive level of enemy triple-cost school", what exactly do you mean? Are you saying I can choose to make Arcane an enemy school (while using say a few Fire creatures) to make my max level 7, and take another in a different school to make it 8?

Okay this training thing is more complicated than I thought. I should have realized it's not merely the presence of an enemy school that is important but also *which* enemy school it is. How about something like "your Mage can only have training in its own schools and subtypes, and their levels must add up to 6"?

By that do you mean to say spells outside of your "trained" school/subtypes are enemy schools?

No just double cost not enemy. TBH I'm not sure this format will be balanced without enemy schools, but I'm not sure how to calculate them.

You could do like I did and make the enemy schools a list where X school automatically has Y enemy.

That doesn't seem like it would be balanced. It's not like the paladin pays triple for arcane, nor does the warlock or warlord pay triple for nature even though the bm and Druid pay triple for fire. Enemy schools are based on what is balanced and thematic for individual mages, not for the schools as a whole.

There is no way to balance the game mode as a whole until you accept that you can't treat them the same as Mages. The only option left is to balance what you can. I picked the enemy schools based on what 1) made the most sense thematically and 2) spread the balance around so there wasn't any overlap. For instance, Nature isn't opposed to Fire, because Fire makes more sense Opposed to Water. Nature was instead opposed to Arcane, because Magic and the laws of Nature rarely go hand-in-hand. Creatures have obvious disadvantages and advantages vs Mages, and that fact alone should be considered as a factor as well.
