For holding my collection, I have a binders, with divisions by school. And within each of those they are divided by type. However, I only keep one copy of each card in the binder pages, with a small post-it note on the back of the card (visible also through back of page) with how many more copies are available. The real collection I keep in very same order, but packed into regular card storage boxes you can get from comic shops.


For building my book, I have my own Excel Spreadsheet I use. It's not a fancy SP builder with an archive of all cards, but it is very handy anyways. It does track number of cards and SB points as I enter the data, as well as also tracking the same statistic through each type spell, easily seeing I'm too Enchantment heavy, etc.

What would really be nice are some Flying War School creatures. 

I use some locking & stacking trays for the damage and other small tokens.

As for the condition markers, I took the time and split them all in half, added 1.25'' discs punched out from comic boarding and glued to make up the lost weight, and in the end resulted in all entirely single-sided condition markers, making it easy to sort and find.

Just an update!

Got my first Warlock designed cover done. Or rather, mostly. Still a few details and pieces to add such as some sort of embellishment or rune to the front cover, and the bookmark, and the charms/tassel. But otherwise the main construction part is done.

Took a little longer than expected and learned some things for the next designs.

The pockets, while semi-loose, are actually snug and tight when closed and clasped. The markers don't fall out even when handled a bit roughly. Long as it's locked shut.

Next up, possibly a Warlord or Necromancer.

Having too many expansions and such begins piling up spellbooks with designs that may not match the theme of most used flavors. And people who I show the game to sometimes don't entirely see the 'point' of the physical spellbook and just suggest carrying the deck around MTG style. A valid choice, but just not in line with the flair I associate myself with (I pimp my games a lot).

This is just a baseline. No flavor or extras really added beside the charm and beads. Each Mage I use will be receiving unique patterns drafted from this base and add accessories as appropriate (pyramid spikes on Warlord? Gems on Wizard? etc). And as evident, these covers are also functional with closures and inner pockets to carry the unique markers and extras.

And after my primary mages, I plan to do covers for my friend's mages as well. And if I can bring myself to, I may even do the unused classes as well. Just for the sake of an art & creative project. So I'll be updating this thread as this whole creative project continues. 

This is all provided that any insects would be real size to scale. But as we see with the wolf spider and scorpion, they are basically fantasy size huge. So they might be less swarm-like if more insects come into play, and much more like 'champions' of their respective species, like maybe another scorpion, a giant mantis, another spider, a dragonfly that's riding sized, etc.

But either way, I agree. More insects subtypes would be very cool.

I think the Wizard Card errata is a good direction. Really does open up current mages more and leaves room for future classes. And it's very true that a _____ Wizard could very much take strategies and non-exclusive spells from nearly any other mage that has an elemental training (Warlock's Fire, Warlord's Earth, etc). Good to see that copying another mage will come at a much more reasonable cost.

As for the Tower, I did always think it was a rather OP in more than one detail, but only time will tell if the new method is the right direction.
