powlich all the way! go go homeboiii

Congratulations on your success so far! Here's basic advice:

1. If you can advertise. A flyer or post on their social media.

2. Set up Arena and Academy and give people the option of which to play.

3. Have some snacks if possible. Market research shows gamers like snacks.

4. Bring help. Have your friend play casual games using pre made books. Coach the new players but don't dictate.

5. Make pre made books that use simple tricks like a Red Claw canine swarm or a Curse- lock.

6. Go back regularly.

This is pretty much what you should do.

When it comes to premade books, I'd suggest having maybe books with spellbook value of 70, and that really shows the core concept of each mage. This is to demonstrate the differences between them and their strengths. I'd suggest using simple enchantments, that don't require much knowledge of the game in general e.g. Bear Strength, Hawkeye, Rhino Hide, Ghoul Root.

I also like to point out that rolling more dice on octagon by mistake is a lot more common than in real life, at least for me. Since Octagon works so well, you can be caught off-guard the few times the wrong amount of dice is there.

I've always played that you re-roll all of your die, since, in theory, it shouldn't change the outcome of the attack and that has been the norm of 99% of my octagon matches. Perhaps also stating what rules are for dice and re-rolls might be needed if people get to heated about this issue.

However, if you manually add more die to roll, the dmg step is not automated so it would be easy to catch someone who is actively trying to "get more good rolls" however, I can not think of one time that has been an issue.

When it comes to notes and online play, I do not know in what capacity you're able to check if someone would be using notes, but I guess that might be an issue if you were only playing one deck for a longer tournament. But that could be fixed by having private matches, with the only the judge being in the lobby beside the players, and everyone agreeing not to say anything about the games they play. So unless its a 1 deck tournament, I see absolutely no problems with notes, and I have no idea as to why anyone would consider it cheating. If you are playing vs someone who relies on following a set script for the first few rounds, I'd say you are playing against someone who is not comfortable playing their deck.

However, we've moved away from 1deck tournaments as of late and I think that's a really good approach to the game, especially since we have a really passionate community that loves to play and watch other play!

I actually don't like the feed big k strat. Tbh its really funny to watch and a wonderfully creative idea, but every time ive faced one ive beaten it.

I do agree.
If you want to include Kralathor in your book, that's great.
He is a really cool creature that works wonders vs minor creatures and undead opponents.
And I think these situations are the only situations he should be played. Put him in play, buff him with rhino hide and perhaps bear strength and let him do his magic.

If u want to invest into a nature creature I would suggest using the Steelclaw Grizzly instead, gets a higher amount of dice faster, has more Armor and with a regrowth on him he becomes very hard to kill.

Hello there!

I've started a Discord Channel for Mage Wars.

The main thought behind it was to have a common VOIP for the people that likes to play Mage Wars Online.
If you want to talk while playing on Octagon or just talk about Mage Wars in general, you are free to use the channel.

You can download discord here: https://discordapp.com/

I really like this Errata.

Fixing the Wizard's Tower and its ability to basically be a source of unlimited attack spells was a good target for nerfs. And I do believe this won't hit tower to hard in terms of what the card costs.

The Wizard being trained in Air and Arcane seems good to me, it might be too early to tell but it feels like it's the natural way to limit the big books that you were able to build when you could choose an element.

I think this is a really good change since this should knock the Wizard of his throne while still not making him a bad mage.

After a really intense and fast match vs Juli, my Necromancer was able to kill his Wizard.

Also played vs gaspode77, my druid won after an extremely close game over his Wizard.
