Only if you play slowly. But nevertheless at the end of a match you know for sure who is the King, not just by counting numbers or points, but by the dust on the ground of the arena.

You can always use the Timer function on Octgn to limit the Planning or Action Phase.

Hi, this is very interesting indeed. After one of the last commentaries with Schneeente, we faced some critics about our style and i realized for myself, that i might have been too harsh from time to time, although i always try to be polite and helpful to the players i'm watching, also and especially to new players, because I want them to continue playing. But at the same time I also want them to know that they could have done better and why some of their move are not the best and other options would have been better.
F.e. Enti quoted what i said when Marked for Death was revealed on Cassiel. I was saying "unglaublich schlecht" what is translated "unbelievable bad". But I also try to explain why i come to this conclusion. Spending 4 mana and an action to only gain 1 dice for one attack that will probably kill the target is not a very good choice. A single attack spell could have done the same with a higher chance of success. Of course I don't know what spells are in the Necromancers Deck. So my critic could also mean: For these situations, don't use Marked for Death and have more attack spells in your deck. So please don't get me wrong: With "unbelievably bad" or a phrase like that  I never mean the player, but only a certain move in a certain situation.
I know that the guys from Arcane Duels have a different approach to the commentaries and I hope both of our styles can offer something people like.

So we know what is written in the codex now. What is your opinion on this concerning the Altar and sacrificing reanimated (enemy) creatures?

Apparently you can only sac creatures you "control and own".

This has something to do with Mind controling an enemy creature. You cannot sacrifice them. But you should be able to sacrifice a creature, that you brought back in the game via reanimating. Think of it this way: When you are the one summoning the creature, then you can sacrifice it, when you have the control over it at this time.

Your 4 Lashers just told me in secret, that  they miss one or two Bloodspine Walls. But you did not hear it from me... 

Thinking about this question is Heresy ... and Heresy must be purged at all costs!

The Water Elemental pushes the target eventually. The effect and the ability to follow will be handled in the Damage and Effects Step. For the Counterstrike Step, both creatures, Defender and Water Elemental are in the same zone again, so the Counterstrike is possible.

Who knows ... maybe there will be a way for the warlord in the future to use his commands without wasting one of his precious actions.
