Some random thoughts to help get around Purges...

1-2 Enchanters Wardstones makes Purge Magic really expensive.  Unplayable expensive in some cases. 

Playing a Jinx at the right time can also botch his attempt to purge you, if his first spell that he is trying to waste gets Jinxed, it never gets to burn your Nullify and you've kinda ruined his round.  In fact, just toss out Jinxes all the time him because its annoying.

Another option is to not to directly rely on stacks of enchantments and draw buffs from other sources like incantations and equipment mixes with only a couple enchantments.  Things like Hand of Bim Shalla can buff you without being directly purge-able for example.  Or, have a couple creatures to share your buffs over.  When doing a beatdown sort of Warlock I like to do a tag team of some upper-middle tier creatures like Necropian Vampiress and a Dark Pact Slayer or Blood Demon to make a reaper to share buffs over so that no one Purge Magic can wreck everything.

You can also toss out debuffs/curses on the opponent as you buff yourself... try to get him to spend his Purge Magic to knock off a stack of curses instead of your buffs.

1) yes. Your Mage counts as a friendly creature

2) no limit

3) both must be revealed because they have mandatory triggers.  Once both turn up you can choose which you want to pay for and use, then the other just fizzles away (or both if you don't want to pay mana for either reveal)

A Druid has to be able to target the Vine Marker in order to cast a spell from it.  So if the Vine is not obscured and she has clear line of sight, she can cast from the Vine.  If the Vine is obscured along with the zone, she has to be 1 zone away from the Vine to target it.

Sure! Access to the form only costs 20 banana stickers. 

Don't tempt me.

We could go in halves for one.

Futurama is basically my favorite TV show of all time.

Is this guy a shark or what?

Notably missing from top 10 lists=

Leather Boots/Gloves- At 2 mana and Novice, these are the most cost efficient defensive Equipment in the game.  They fit in almost any spellbook, they have fantastic synergy with things like Vet Belt, Voltaric Sheild or Forge Hammer.   Im not sure the last time I made a book that didnt run at least 1 of these two.  They are cheap, effective, and quite often an opponent isnt going to spend a valuable Dissolve to take away your 2 mana, 1 spellpoint to strip your Leathers. 

Enchanters Ring-  Do you have more than 2 Enchantments in your book?   Do you use block, nullify, creature buffs, decoy, enchantment transfusion, healing charm, or anything along those lines?   Then you benefit from Enchanters Ring.   You would be hard pressed to run a book that doesnt end up saving respectable mana by running Enchanters Ring, especially in tandem with other mage's "caster" rings.   As a perk, its one of the few "or" spells in the game so no matter what mage you are running its never going to cost triple spell points.  (unless some weird mage pops up with triple cost Arcane AND Nature)

Demonhide Armor-  Somewhat mitigated due to its Dark Mage only status, but in my opinion its the best Chestplate in the game next to Harshforge.   Protection from elements is covered well enough in Elemental Cloak in tandem with other defenses/armor, rather than overstack elemental protection (which can be less useful against a rounded opponent or totally useless against the wrong opponent), I much perfer Armor+Critical Barrier.  Its useful against weenie swarms, its very useful against pierce-less, but resilent zombies and helps give your mage a damage edge in a slugfest.  It also adds more "bleed damage" to books based on sapping your opponent down from curses, burns and direct damage.

Personal Honorable Mentions:
Crown of Protection-  Yeah..1 spellpoint, 1 mana, unlimited 2 mana castings of "diet rhino hide" on your units. 

Morning Star/Vorpal Blade- Alongside Mage Staff as great cost-to-effect weapons

Supression Cloak- Gross.

Sunfire Amulet- Worth mentioning, but kinda costly for some books.

Spiked Buckler- Just a promo still, but my favorite "melee defense" equipment.  Pesky combo with Dancing Scimitar.

Galvatar- Only one mage can use it, but its one of the best weapons in the game for pure aggression coupled with a crowd control option.

Sectarus- Mainly included because its one of my personal favorites, its hard to be considered a true top 10 because of how costly it is and how vulnerable it is without investing in extra protection just for it.. but its also a "must destroy" item that can become quite a game changer over just a few rounds.  One of my personal favorite cards to date.

And, as mentioned, Dancing Scimitar is one of the best most rounded Equipment items in the game.. its worth it to drop in almost any spellbook. 

In general they still wouldnt effect living conjurations and would just be clutter.  adding -1 melee to mana flowers, tangle vines, and Mohktari would just be extra junk on the board.  It still has no effect.

Most conjurations do not have melee/ranged attacks.. only the two flowers introduced by the Druid (3 expansions after release of the core rules were made), and not sure if they are a big enough case to really warrant adjusting the rules either way.
