So in reviewing the Wildfire Imp's teleport ability, am I correct in believing that it is without range or LoS limitations?

He can effectively teleport to any space in the arena if there is a burn marker?

Now I like to win, I always try to win. That being said, I do like to create theme based spellbooks and will occasionally favor making something fun thematically over a high win percentage.

Anyone else like this? Got any examples of fun themed books?

Force Master's that don't solo rush but sit back and play the manipulation game?
Warlocks that roll heavy with curses have a favored Blood Reaper?
Etc.

So I did a very brief search and most likely didn't choose my wording right or I'm just being too lazy, either way I need some clarification on a couple of issues.

1) When I familiar casts an enchantment, can they pay the reveal cost if they do at the same time as the initial casting?

2) Can you use the same piece of equipment twice in the same round? IE. two castings of dispel from your wand, or two swings of a weapons quick attack?

Thanks in advance,

So I've played around 5 games or so and observed 2-3, and each time I feel like I learn something new or get a better grasp on the rules.

One of the key strategies that I have picked up on is shrewd use of initiative and spacing. Whether is be blasting away with Thunderbolt from 3 zones away as the mage or using fast,charging creatures as the Beastmaster, I find that knowing when to move forward or back is key for me. So I thought I'd open this up for some fun examples of using spacing to protect the mage or a creature and then punish your opponent.

I've been reading about struggling beastmasters lately so here is an example I saw used last night.


Beastmaster at one end of the arena, one space away is a fast (enchanted) mountain gorilla, two spaces from him is the enemy mage (a warlock, heavily geared with equip.) BM has the totems that ad +1 melee for charge and +1 pierce in play as well as the staff of beasts.

Quickcast staff of beasts to boost the gorilla by +2 more melee, then activate him to charge in adding +1 more. For +7 total melee! Sure the Lock can choose to stay there and duke it out with the gorilla (which lets the BM summon and enchant up another friend.) or he can start moving towards  BM (which is currently too far away for most spells and he is hindered by the gorilla limiting movement AND if he does move the ape charges in again for another hard hit while  BM continues to dance around the edges of the board, possibly laying tanglevine down or a wall to block LOS).

thoughts and or more distance based tactics?

So I am currently a big fan of walls and poison clouds to funnel my enemies right to me as a wizard launching might lightning spells down the funnel.

I am currently working out the details of a 1st or 2nd turn set up in which I teleport across the board 9 mana, step forward and cast extended wall of some type along the opponents starting space on his left side extending into the zone I now stand in.

backing up a step and casting poisong cloud into the previous space and then using the wizard spawnpoint to get out crippling basilisks to keep him there while I blast lightning down his throat.

Thoughts?
