1) Kajarah costs the Johktari only 1 spellbookpoint. Most opponents need to spend 2 spellbookpoints to dissolve it. Thats not a very favourable calculation, because the Beastmistress can easily use several Boomerangs. So why waste Dissolves with it?

2) The Johktari has the fast trait. If not hindered, she can quickly move through the arena (2 zones) and attack even one zone further. You can't do that with a bow (think of an enemy that is 3 zones away). Also the bow has the problem of a minimal range where you cannot use it.

3) Kajarah only rolls 1 dice (if your animal attacked first) and 1 piercing less. That's totally ok, because Karajah only costs 3 Mana and you can move first.

you did the right thing! I always felt the same way too.

I like it simple. Concerning this discussion with Galvitar I ask myself: What is the damage potential of the attacks?

4 Dice Pierding 2 can deal a maximum of 8 damage.

4 Dice + 4 Dice can deal a maximum of 16 Damage.

Why would you ever choose Thrust to attack when you can attack with Double Strike?

There were 28 people participating in the tournament.

First day 4 games each player, where in your next game you face an opponent of the same strength.

8 best players advanced to elimination stage next day.

You had to use 2 different decks, random draw of the deck first day, second day you had to use the other deck.

Mages played on both days:
10 x Priestress
10 x Necromancer
8 x Crown Warlock
5 x Forcemaster
4 x Druid
4 x Earth Wizard
3 x Dwarf Warlord
3 x Adramelech Warlock
2 x Beastmistress
2 x Beastmaster
2 x Water Wizard
1 x Priest
1 x Air Wizard
1 x Fire Wizard

I can't follow you. I don't see a problem here.

The Knight of the Red Helm is not the best Holy Avenger. Both targets, the one who attacked and triggered the Avenger and the one who is the strongest enemy, will seldom be the same creature.  White Cloak Knight should still be more solid.

Vampire Unicorns from outa space!

Wow that's incredible. A Polish Version? So cool
