General Discussion / Re: 4 players from one box?

I really look forward to seeing what multiplayer forms of this game will be like. Sure, there's the 4v4 free for all being tossed around, and of course a 2v2 team - but I'd really like to see different scenarios and such put on. Maybe a defend a spot for X turns game, or a capture the flag type of game or something like that. Not entirely sure how well they'd work, but definitely having a battlefield like it does you can do lots of things I think.

Mages / Re: Mages that you would like to see in the game
« on: August 05, 2012, 04:53:57 AM »
I liked that Blood Mage a lot from above. Paying HP for mana is a pretty good mechanic that I like in some of the classes of other games. I could see a lot of abilities for this - I see it as really having abilities that require you to lose life, but also have lots of abilities to gain life to. Really like a mix of Holy magic with dark magic in a way.

I think a Storm Mage would be pretty good, actually. Specializes in water and wind magic, he could even have  a spell that sucks all of the opponents creatures and such into one zone. There's a tone that could be done with that.

I also like the idea of a shapeshifter. They can shift into special forms that give them different abilities and such, so you can take on a lot of different strategies based on what form you want to be in.  They would probably be a nature-based mage.

Lastly, I think a mage that works by pushing mana into spells to create bigger effects would be nice. His spells could have a different effect based on how much mana he puts into the spell, and so creates a very different playing experience.

Really, the game lends itself to a lot of very different ideas. There could be almost a limitless degree of possibility with new mages.

@Contact high - Thanks for the tip, but I already saw it on Facebook :) Its about the easiest thing I can load on my VPN hehe. I was thinking more of a text list of everything, without art and such. I could load that in my laptop or ereader or something and then read that on the plane. Its great because it seems that the moment I get home, I should have my pre-order arriving just a little before or after :)

Hehe, its funny that you mention drawing pentagrams. When I saw the card with a pentagram on it, I was thinking - 'Oh my, this will go well with some conservative moms'. I remember being at my LGS one day and a mom going crazy at the seller for selling her 13 year old son a booster pack of Magic, it was kinda funny.

That really is great. I hate it when a game lacks surprise factors so that you could tell who will win early on. I have played matches in Magic where, since I knew what my opponents deck was and what my deck was, I could tell you who would win within the first couple of plays.

With this game, though, with all of its nasty tricks and possibility for attacks not working - it makes the game much less easy to see who will win. It makes for a much more exciting game.

General Discussion / Rules are up

Great job guys. This rulebook looks very well polished and easily understood. Really one of the better rulebooks I've seen.

So, its day 1. You've just cracked open the box, took in the beauty that's inside. Isn't new game smell so great? Anyway, you reach into the box and start to make your very first game - what mage will you be?  I think I would probably chose Warlock. Why? Because, as I am learning the game mechanics and such I think a more straight forward, in your face style would work better than the others. And - fire's pretty darn cool.

What about you guys? Let's put some life in this place!:)

Yeah, I really hope the rules come out. And then, after that, maybe a complete spoiler list of all the cards :) Really tho, I've got a long flight coming up pretty soon - would be great to have these to make it so I don't go crazy through it all.

I also can't wait for the videos to come out. Is there any chance that they will be hosted on a non-youtube server? I'm in China right now and its a pain in the rear to get onto the VPN and wait a good 30 minutes for a 2 minute video (really, really bad here).
