I currently am scheduled to play in the tournament, but with out time to playtest and build I may withdraw. Still not certain.I'm going in with practically no testing either. Should be interesting.
What is DTE?It's unfortunate but it isn't Arcane Wonders' fault. & it's certainly better than releasing an inferior product.
The question now is, how does this change the release schedule of the upcoming products, if at all?
Academy, PVS, and the DTE line are separate from this and should not be impacted. Academy is still scheduled for pre-release at Gen Con and full release later this year, and the team is working on PVS, Onitama, City of Gears, and Royals as well for the DTE line.
I'm a little underwhelmed by Ziggurat of Undeath. It only really functions to extend your book when you don't have any other creatures left to play. You can reanimate an opponent's creature if it would be particularly beneficial, like brogan fighting angels, but that will rarely happen. Add in that it only triggers when one of your zombies destroys a creature, and it means only late game zombie centric builds will get much use.I think it's more important that you only have to pay half the creature's cost to reanimate it. It's an economy booster as well as saving on spellbook points.
As for the possibility of changing the opinion in the new releases, I would be surprised if the new releases changed my opinion.
Yeah the logic probably being something along the lines of, if you notice that mostly one type of mage makes it to Day 2 you could alter your book to better meet that particular challenge.Of course, though, everyone else would have that same option, so if you tweak your book based on the popularity of mage X, you might show up the next day and find them all playing mage Y instead.
I will be there recording the tournament. And hopefully watching Vlad take a top position in the tournament!Works for me.
So if you have no intention of playing dominion(or vtar spells), and already have all those now-legal promos, there are 5 new spells.You're a glass half-empty sort, aren't you?
Here was my opening at origins in my game against Laddinfance which I most likely won but ended up disputed:Okay, I'll bite. How did you "most likely win" a game but have it disputed?
I thought I had read somewhere that the arena-players would have something to play with this year too...Battlegrounds Domination is an Arena release. (And a really fun one!)
begining 2016?
Not Reanimation, Rise again. Rise again is a curse that when a creature dies, the warlock, or dark mage pays half the mana and at the beginning of the next turn it comes back as a zombie with damage equal to its level. It does work, and works well. Combining it with the AC warlocks ability to curse weave is very strong.I know you're talking about Rise Again. Rise Again tells you to reanimate the creature.
What he also exploited was my inability to remove face down enchantments. I did not have any seeking dispels in my book. So just by casting rise again on a Sslak or Usslak, I had to consider the ramifications of killing it, giving him another creature. This definitely slowed my progress with the V'tar.
In short he used the Sslak's abilities to his own advantage. The damage shield on the demon hide armor hastened the Sslak's demise and after it died he had a very effective guard in the zone.
