We have a very special Mage Wars Mondays today. Scott (Tox) and Rick had a chance to play a game of Academy this weekend for your enjoyment. Who will come out victorious? Well you'll have to watch it >>HERE<< to find out.

Note: They did play the interaction of Exile correctly. However there were a couple of small issues. Melee bonuses only affect the first attack in an action, so Badger Frenzy would have rolled 3 and then 2 dice. Also, you cannot reduce someone to below 1 attack die, just like arena, so Rick could have still attacked had he wished.

Come check out the new zone attack specially made for Domination. You can find it >>HERE<<.

Today I talk about my experiences at Gen Con 2015, especially those playing domination!
Check it out >>HERE<<.

We get to discuss all about Stagger, a new condition, and one of my favorite creatures in Academy, the Paralyzing Basilisk! You can catch all of the amazing information >>HERE<<. Are you looking forward to more ways to Stagger your completion? Are you a fan of this new basilisk?

Check out a fantastic new portal for use in Domination. You can find out all about the V'Torrak Gate >>HERE<<.

We have another Domination preview today! Come check out Slaknir, Goblin Chieftain right >>HERE<<.

Greetings potential Gencon competitors! I know there had been some confusion about what cards would be legal for the Gencon tournament this year. Any card printed in a set that has had a legal release approximately one month before an event is legal in that event, unless the event makes specific stipulations on the sets being used.

So, what does that mean in normal speak? A Mage Wars set will need to have been available for sale through regular retail stores to be considered released, and this will need to have happened a month before the event in question.

What does this mean for Gencon 2015? Well, unfortunately this means that Battlegrounds: Domination will not be legal for use in that event. While we were writing promo articles and leading up to the prerelease at Origins, things were looking great. Everything was proceeding according to plan. And that would have put Battlegrounds: Domination out to retail at the beginning of July. Sadly, there were issues in production that have delayed the project, and so it will not have a general release before then.

Why is that important? Mage Wars has never been a game about chasing down scarce content so that you can have an advantage over your opponent. We didn't want players who'd had no chance other than at conventions to have to chase down a copy of Battlegrounds: Domination. Because we wanted the fairest playing field for our players, we decided not to allow Battlegrounds: Domination.

I'm still looking forward to seeing what fresh perspective and spellbooks you'll all bring to Gencon this year. Thank you all for your support. If you have any questions, I'll answer them to the best of my ability.
