I preordered it there. The guy said they are targeting an October ship date.

I did not know that about reverse magic. Learn new stuff every day. Thanks pious.

Hey Dallas- I bought an extra core set just to have all 8 mages built at once. It was worth it IMO for the extra tokens, 2 boards for 4 player games, player sheets + cubes, 2 spell books to put the mages in, plus other customization.

That is good. If I find a few more players in my area (as I no longer live in Dallas) I may consider it for the 4 player element. However, right now it just doesn't make sense for me to drop $40-$60 for 18 cards that I would like to have.

I honestly might have tweaked the new Beastmaster a little to minimize overlap. Swap out the timber wolves, gorilla and the Falcons for 2 Dire Wolves and Galador. With 2 spiders throwing webs everywhere I guess I don't see the need for the tanglevines, too. That would free up some points to  add the deflection boots with another level 1 spell, and give people a chance to try out the new cards, which is a good thing in my opinion. As far as the Bobcats are concerned, in a perfect world, I would have liked to have seen a low level lion card (lets say a cub) in CoK to have a pride of lions style thing similar to the dog pack. I understand why more cards weren't included, though.

Really, the majority of my disappointment stems from a false assumption that I would be able to build the prebuilts with what was included in Conquest if I already had the Core, FM v WL, and Core Spell Tomes 1 & 2. All that said, I love the game and got a 1 day pass to GenCon essentially to preorder the Necromancer Vs Druid expansion and see what else is going on at the convention. I guess I am venting because I want to see the game succeed; having people need to buy either 2-3 cosmetic expansions or another core set all together to make recommended decks just seems like an unnecessary hurdle to get there.

So in another thread I asked about that 4 bobcat thing. It is a misprint. It should be 3 bobcats and 3 Falcons. Hope that helps.

Here i the thread it was mentioned in http://forum.arcanewonders.com/index.php?topic=12601.0

Is the 4 Feral Bobcats for the new BM a misprint? With one of every card set available, you only have 3 bobcats.

I recently played through my first couple of games of Mage Wars. During our play, a few rule issues came up that we didn’t quite know for sure if we got it right. We’re pretty sure we got them mostly right and think I've clarified through some of the posts, but I wanted to clarify anyway. The issues are as follows:

1. If a creature has counterstrike ability and during the initial attack the creature takes enough damage to die, do they still get to counterstrike? I think I read that it does NOT occur, but I’ve read some conflicting posts.

2. If I have a burn token on a creature, I have the ability to either roll a die (to see if the creature can remove the token for free or if they take additional damage) OR I can pay 2 mana to remove the token before taking damage. This scenario would be true for any of the tokens/conditions with a stated removal cost.

3. Using the Beast Master as an example, if he attacks unaided, he uses 4 die – the stated 3d on his mage card and +1 for his melee attack bonus. If he were to use the Staff of Beasts, he would get 5d (4d + 1d). The Warlock would have a similar bonus as the other mage with the melee attack bonus.

4. If a flying creature attacks a ground based creature, that same ground based creature can counter strike during that same action, but later cannot attack the flying creature when they take their action. Similarly, none of the other opponent creatures can attack that flying creature, assuming they don’t have the flying creature.

1. They do not get to counterstrike if they die. So you were correct on that one.

2. You may remove them if you have an ability to remove them. IE You can't just play the mana, you must use something like the Priestess ability, or a spell card to remove the tokens (and also pay the mana cost).

3. Correct. BM gets +1 to any of his melee attacks.

4. Correct, I am fairly certain at least.

Enjoy the game. It hs probably become one of my favorite games since I got it.

Conjuration:
Gravity Orb - mind or arcane school

Zone exclusive
Target zone and target neighbour zone: All creatures in these 2 zones loses flying until they leave the zone(s). No creature can gain flying while in the zones.

Gravikor is essentially this except it is earth school. "Legendary and Epic/ All creatures withing 2 zones lose, and cannot gain, the Flying trait." It is a dice tower promo card so sadly I don't have it (yet). Granted I can see how wanting one in another school could be of benefit.

This was actually already answered in the previous thread. The reason Mind Control says that it can only be revealed between Action Phases is to limit it so that, unlike other enchantments, it cannot be revealed in the middle of a creatures Action Phase. So the answer to your question is B.

As Arcanus Stated: "Mind control cannot be revealed during an Action Phase of a creature. We had to do this because it can create a weird anomaly when control changes hands while acting."

Thanks Wiz-Pig. I was just misinterpreting what he was saying in the other thread, then.
