So I'm back with another review, this time of Academy.
Part 1 -->HERE<-- (http://magewars.weebly.com/general-discussion/academy-review-part-1)
Part 2 -->HERE<-- (http://magewars.weebly.com/general-discussion/academy-review-part-2)
Part 3 -->HERE<-- (http://magewars.weebly.com/general-discussion/academy-review-part-3)
In part 1 I introduce Academy, talk about what comes in the box, and try explaining how to play (although the Arcane Wonders videos put me to shame in that regard).
We then move onto the two new Mages introduced in this set and talk about the equipment and attack spell cards that come in Academy.
I had to do some quick changes at the end but wanted to get this out as soon as I could so everybody could see it. That being said, there may be some mistakes, so feel free to let me know if you find any :)

Great reviews - both.
I love the vidoes. But I also love the written reviews. They also give a great posibility to stroll through the cards.
Keep up the great work.

Thank you!

Once nice thing about Arcane Missiles that should be mentioned is that the critical damage is nice against Zombie swarms.

That's a very good point! It can absolutely destroy those guys.
Part 2 has been posted. In it, I take a look at the incantations and enchantments of Academy.
The next part, part 3, will take a look at the creatures in this set. There are quite a few of them ::)
-
This is an awesome read! Keep up the good work!
-
wow!
thanks for all this information!
-
cool video.
But how can you dispel that exile if the creature is out of the arena?

You cannot. That was a slight mistake made by Intangible.

love the giant size card!
When will it be in europe? Any idea?
-
With all those extra minor enchantments cards like:
- Asyran defender
- infernian scourger
- Orc butcher
- timber wolf
will become much better! (awesome)
A giant sized [mwcard=MW1C05]Blue Gremlin[/mwcard] doesn't lose his pest?
-
no he does not.
-
And believe me, it's a good thing, too. There are some pests that were never meant to block.
-
yeah.. I figured balance was the reason. :D
For realism I would say they would lose it, but it could be too strong.
-
The final part of the review is up. In it, I take a look at the creatures of Mage Wars Academy.
There are some awesome ones in there. I also talk about my final thoughts about Academy at the end.
-
What I don't understand with Mana Worm is... why have text that could have been resumed with the already existing keyword "Mana Drain".
-
Maybe it had to do with AW wanting there to be fewer keywords and such in Academy. If it said mana drain, while I do thing it's pretty obvious what it does, new players who have never played MW before would just have yet another keyword to look up.

Academy is meant to be more easily accessible than Arena. One of the things that constantly makes Mage Wars tough to get into is the long log of keywords. We didn't use a keyword here, because the ability could be completely done via text. That way you don't have to go reference another document. Simply having the card and it makes sense.
-
So what is the official release date? I can't wait to play it!
-
I don't know if there is an exact date right now. We want this in your hands as soon as possible, I just don't know when this will arrive at fulfillment. I'll see if I can get a rough date tomorrow, when everyone is back to work. :)
