What are you going to do vs someone who someone who summons [mwcard=MW1C01]Adramelech, Lord of Fire[/mwcard]                                                                                                                            Poo your pants like the rest of us?

Even minor creatures like [mwcard=MW1C15]Firebrand Imp[/mwcard] and [mwcard=MW1C16]Flaming Hellion[/mwcard] seems like you would be force to ignore those?

Naturally you have weaknesses vs all things anti-flame (Flame -2, Burnproof, Flame immune conjurations)

Excellent vs Druid, not so hot (forgive me) vs Warlock.

I'm pretty sure his reaction is to smile at how much mana they invested and then melt the enemy mages face before Adramelech can do anything significant.  He cost 24 and swings for 6 dice plus burns and can't attack the turn he is summoned.  That means if Adramelech is summoned round 2 he has not even broke even with straight fireballs until at least round 6.  By then the match is probably over.  Adramelech is too slow.

You might be right. I thought i´d would be a auto-win for the male Warlock here with Lord Of Fire.

I tried to looked into it:

ADRAMELECH FACE MELTER                                                                          LORD OF TERROR

19 Hawkeye 1                                                                                          19 Enchanters Ring 2
    Ring of Curses 2                                                                                       Cheetah Speed 1
    Move 1                                                                                                     Move 1

25 Fireshaper Ring 3                                                                                 25 Lord of Fire 24
     Adramelechs Touch 4                                                                                Bear Strenght 1
     Move 1                                                                                                    Move 1

26 Marked For Death 5                                                                              9  Ring of Curses 2
     Fireball 8                                                                                                 Shift enchantment  1
     Reveal Hawkeye 1                                                                                    Reveal Bear Srength 3
                                                                                                                   Reveal Cheetah Speed 3

     10 dice attack                                                                                          8 dice attack

19                                                                                                           9

This is hardly a laughing matter for the Adramelech Facemelter. The Lord of Terror is somewhat behind here in mana and deal lesser damage. Lesser chance to get a burn and no way to keep the opponent burning like the facemelter but he has 5 more hp from the beginning and he has one more action each round. The Facemelter has a 10 mana lead here but the Lord of Terror has a 0 mana cost attack so thats probably going to change.

Is Lord of Terror really far behind here?
     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
   

Looks nice.

I really like using a lot of enchantments, so this seems like something i should try!

Tx for posting, as always your opening my eyes to new and interesting ideas.

(like the heavy use of enchantment transfusions)

Interesting idea!

Might work with Battle Forge instead of Lair?

Whenever i go to a boardgameevent i usually bring some of my Mage Wars gear (even when the chances are quite remote for get a game going)

As i don´t have a car, bringing 2 arenas and 8+ spellbooks does become a bit unhandy and heavy. And then im not bringing unused spellcards or apprentice spellbooks..

Im also interested in how you sort and storage the different markers? (and similar like sleeving you Cards)

Im trying to find two smaller boxes (Cigarboxes?) One for damage- , manamarkers, dice and actionmarkers. The other for the rest of the markers which i don´t sort pre- or postgame.

So in the box ill bring a couple of arenas, a ton of markers and rulebooks, expansionrules and try to fit two smaller boxes in there. The spellbooks im carrying in a backpack

Links and pic´s appreciated!

Congrats on the 1.000 post.

I voted for the Priest

I build this after watching all of Charmyna´s The Thorny Magician videos.

Even if this spellbook is without Huginn the concept stays the same: pushing my opponent through a Wall of Thorns untill he dies

My normal opening:
(20) Turn 1:
Battle Forge   8
Mana Crystal  5

(18+1) Turn 2:
Enchanter´s Ring 2
Gorgon Archer     16
enchantment        1

Then i will cast cheap equipment and enchantments to save some mana for the Wall of Thorns + Force Push.

Any comments, thoughts and suggestions are highly welcome.

Im considering opening with a double [mwcard=MW1J04]Battle Forge[/mwcard] at turn 1. (not vs. a Warlord)

I might even harmonize both.

The one being used to bring out cheap equipment each round, and the other every 2nd or 3rd round for the more expensive stuff.

Is this a horrible idea?

I guess i could just ask: How important is equipment? (and actions)

This would probably only be relevant for spellbooks with very few or no creatures.

Thanks again for posting the videos and posting here after. I really appreciate it! 

Maybe you should try a surviver theme?, so that the winning mage countinues until he/she is defeated?

It would be interesting to see what kind of mages/spellbooks your opponents would build to counter your Priest.

And to see what changes you would make to the spellbook, your strategy and follow the developing meta.

Theoretically it should be impossible to keep winning, if your opponents know all your tricks in advance, and you don´t know much about him/her.
