Visibility is down to nothing out there. For the full weather report go >>HERE<<. So what are your plans with this "fog delay"?

Huh that's an interesting card. I can see it being very useful at times but it's super situation based. It'd be interesting if there was an upkeep you could play to keep it going after the time limit.

I like it a lot.  Forces wimpy mages to get in range for quite a while, I don't see it being that situational.

I like it overall, but unless you're trained in Air that's 4 spell points in your book there. I think it'll get some use, especially with my Necromancer(who already thinks he's trained in Air) but we'll see.

Druids will love it... no more bombarding that Thornlasher from a distance.

I don't think I like that it's indestructible.  I'm guessing it only lasts 3 rounds (is that what dissipate means?) but still, this has a huge impact on how the game will be played.  I would like there to be some sort of counter to it, but maybe it doesn't need one if it's only 3 rounds a game.

I like this one; definitely will put it in several of my books if I can find the space.  However, the ranged Beastmistress I keep trying to make does not like this spell one bit.

Not sure when I'd use it. I've already removed my cloak of obscurity from my Necro book since I never cast it; not even once. Not sure who this card is supposed to be for.

Maybe when you are getting blasted by Fireball attached to a Wizards tower?

Be golden if there was a way to add dissipate tokens back to it...

Wizard Tower is permanent, this only lasts three rounds--including the round you cast it.  And it doesn't block the Tower, it only reduces the range, and only of certain attack spells--usually the highest-casting ones, whereas the Tower is usually used in my experience to repeat-cast Level 1 (Range 0-1) spells.

I like a number of the cards in this set, and we'll see if this one sees play, but my initial reaction to this card: meh.

Edit: Oh hey look, 100 posts!  Full mage! : )

I will have to experience an opponent pulling off some nasty trick on me with this card before i will ever bother including it in any book.

Its not that i dont like it, but i find it harder and harder for every expansion to cut my spellbooks down to 120 worth of points. Situational 4+ spellpoints spellpoint cards are the first to go.

But then again... if we see a counter to obscured then it will be a different story.
