I was thinking Slaknir + 4 [mwcard=FWC05]Goblin Grunts[/mwcard] + the overpriced [mwcard=MWSTX1CKI02]Akiro's Battle Cry[/mwcard]+ orc warlord charge battle order.
12 mana + 4x4=16 mana + 14 mana +1 = 43 total

thats 4 x 6 = 24 fast and elusive dice of damage and you still have plenty of ways to buff that offensively and defensively including: marked for death, battle standard, armory, and lifetree

With Battlegrounds Domination in the wild, how soon can we expect a spell database/deck builder update?

The Spellbook builder is managed by a forum contributor who does it out of the kindness of his heart. Some of you fail to realize that AW is a company of 5-6 employees, and a small army of Ambassadors.

I thought there were only ~4 regular employees. In any case, I think it's important to the growth of the Mage Wars community that electronic resources be maintained and updated in a timely fashion - e.g. rules and FAQ, card database and spell book building tools, etc.  That probably means contracting an individual to perform the update, which may involve additional coding. Same goes for the app. I think the card database is actually more important since it is available to anyone with an Internet connection, and is used for referencing cards for several purposes including forum links and checking current card text for those with older editions (although there are still a few examples where out-of-date text is pictured in the database). I think it would be a shame if it weren't updated shortly after the retail release of Battlegrounds: Domination.

Couldn't agree more. Besides, with a proper built database no coding is nessessary to just add new cards. That could simply be done by anyone without any programming skills.

There are 4 employees at the company, other than Bryan. Right now our app developers are working on the domination update for the app. As for updates to the FAQ, I have a few excellent individuals I need to talk with and see if they can help me with that project.

You're right timely updates can really help us, but at the moment, I'm stuck between building the product we need, and the support everyone deserves. Rest assure I'm aware and we're trying to work on it.

Well, I took pictures of all the cards today, but when I try to post them, it tells me that the attachments are too large.

Trying to upload them on boardgamegeek instead, since they have more flexible size restrictions.  The images are currently pending approval.

Did you manage? Because I can't find any...not in the forum or in your gallery...

If I understand correctly, they won't show up until a moderator approves them.  Never uploaded images on bgg before, though.

Do you know, if the images have been approved? Unfortunately I can not find them.  :(

If you upload images to BGG in your personal gallery, then you don't have to wait for moderation.  If you want to upload them as images for a game entry, then you wait, but rarely more than a day.  Did you upload them for Mage Wars Arena or Mage Wars Arena: Battlegrounds Domination or somewhere else?  I don't see any images in your personal gallery.

I tired to upload them to the domination gallery, but they were all rejected for "too much glare."
Because, apparently having NO pictures is better than having pictures with a little bit of glare... ::)

I'll try uploading them to my personal gallery and see if that works better.

This is starting to get ridiculous...
Why can't anyone (looking mainly at AW)  post the last cards / "spoilers"?  It's been like two weeks out in the public now. Please come on and do this now.

I didn't want to spoil it, I'm making a video tonight with all the cards and everything else Domination has to offer. We had a pretty bad flood out here Monday and it delayed me. Hoping I can post it tonight as well.

Hoping to also give some suggestions on how to use the cards as well.

Later this week I'm trying to post some actual games of Domination being played. Hopefully I can get those up by Saturday.
