Arcane Duels has the video coverage! Hoping to get commentary this weekend and release it.

I just wanted to ask if I can expect to see this sometime or if it was dropped due to insufficient time. I really don't want to build any pressure here Coshade. I just want to know, if it is still planned to release this. I could totally understand if not because I imagine that it is a lot of work to finish this.

Or did I miss it by chance? Then please accept my apologies and point me to it

The Idea of this Book is, to get Grimson to shoot the first time in turn three without signaling it before turn three.
Opening is:

Round 1 (19 Mana): Goblin Builder (-5), Wispwillow Amulet (-3)

Round 2 (21 Mana): Altar of the Iron Guard (-4), Move Goblin Builder and Mage to the same Zone (either NC, or one zone towards other mage on the long side of the Arena), if possible Zone Enchantment (Astral Anchor, Sacred Ground or Fortified Position) in this Zone(-2).

Round 3 (25-27 Mana): Archer's Watchtower with GB (- 4), Grimson Deadeye (-15), Rouse the Beast on Grimson(-4) --> Grimson shoots!

Round 4 (12-14 Mana): Start protecting Grimson, eg. Dwarf Panzergarde or Earth Wall.

The idea now is to protect Grimson at all cost using, guards, protective Zone Enchantments, healing enchantments, add a defense, tanglevine him to counter force push (any better idea to give him unmovable?), add AstralAnchor against Teleport, Etherian Life Tree, ...
When you added a substantial amount of Enchantments (about 3) add ET to protect the Enchantments upon the unfortunate event of Grimson's dead (move them to your mage then).

During protecting Grimson you should take care to build a small army step by step. Try to use Grimson to reduce the life of oponent creatures and let your soldiers kill them to gain Veteran tokens.
I tried to choose the protective spells so, that I they are still useful after Grimson's demise.

This is the fourth installment of this book and it changed a lot after my first two games (in the second installment I dropped Goblin Builder and added Construction Yard which I reverted for the third version). In my games so far I learned that it is very hard to protect him properly. Even with that many protective cards it remains a challenging task to play the right protection at the right time.

After my last match I added Tanglevine and Altar of the Iron Guard, so I don't know how they work out yet. In that match I lost Grimson to a push so I added Tanglevine. I switched a Defend for the Altar in order to have the guard on the Panzergarde one turn earlier.

Please let me know what you think of this book and if you have ideas for improvement.

This book is built only with the sets already available in german (up to Academy core). So it might look a bit outdated for you but for me it contains the newest hot stuff .

I post the spellbook here again in it's own thread for better future reference.
This is the translation of the book posted in the german Mage Wars forum (http://www.foren.pegasus.de/foren/topic/27065-die-bresche-druidin-german-nationals-2016-vorrunde/).

This translation was kindly translated by Biblofilter in this thread (http://forum.arcanewonders.com/index.php?topic=16936.0). I just copied it here and added the missing card.

Sadly, I don't own a copy of the new [mwcard=FWC04]Goblin Builder[/mwcard] to show that it can now repair Walls... and  if memory serves, there's an unfortunate typo "...Corporeal conjuration in or boardering his zone" or something like that.

Can it be confirmed, that Goblin Builder has been changed to be able to repair walls now? I searched the forums but the only hint that this really happened was in the post quoted above.
