the card states whenever a mage summons a creature, he may place it on summoning circle regardless of range or line of site. Does this include creatures summoned by spawnpoints?

what Spell Tome set can I get additional copies of Acid Ball, and does anybody know how many copies I would get? I've already got 2 Core sets and don't think I need a third.

Two questions:

1) I've seen a couple druid decks with Raincloud. To what purpose does this serve as most vine creatures have Regen. Is raincloud in this instance worth the condition removal? Just curious if I'm missing something.

2) I've had great luck with the druid thus far but haven't gone against a warlock yet. My buddy indicated he's in process of building a warlock book. Don't want to turn down a challenge. Any advice on a an anti-warlock druid build to offset the fire weakness?

Looking to get some feedback on the following necro book:

From there, basically try to summon and swarm with as many creatures as I can get on the board.

I hate using 8 SBPs for Destroy Magic, but the guys I've been playing with LOVE their enchantments and so thought this might be a nice surprise for them.

The basic strategy though is to equip Deathshroud and Mage Wand with Reassemble. Have archers in place with Fortified Position. Send out Sentries, Knights, and Minions on the offensive buffing them with Deathshroud and healing with Reassemble while Graveyard continues to summon. Should my mage get caught up in melee, I have Rhino Hide along with Vampirism and Drain Life (assuming Deathlock isn't in play yet) to keep me healthy.

We've been playing mage wars for a little over a month now and I'm curious if our mage win/loss record is a statistical representation of my veteran mage peers:

(win-loss-draw) *draws were called after playing so long without a clear winner and had to stop due to time-constraints

Druid 2-0-1 (draw with the wizard, though had a slight upper hand at time of the draw)
Wizard 3-0-1 (draw with druid)
Necro 1-0-1 (draw with the priest- at time of draw if was very even)
Force master 1-0-0 (close match with Warlord)
Beast Master 1-1
Warlord (0-2-0) these losses were very close, so I don't know that these are as concerning as the Warlock losses.
Priest (0-1-0) Loss to Necro
Priestess (1-2-1)
Warlock (0-3-0) these losses were drastic and the one that surprises us. Maybe it's because we're noobs, but nobody in our group can seem to get the warlock going.

Are these numbers fairly statistically representative of others? Suggestions on playing a successful warlock welcome!

Here is the scenario of what happened in my Arena Match tonight: I had my Warlock buffed fairly well with Enchantments. I had three nullifies, one Reverse Magic and one Arcane Ward in my book. What my opponent did was use his QC to cast dissolve, which he knew he was wasting- dissolve's target says Mage, so it automatically triggers Nullify, which then freed him up to use his action to cast Purge Magic which removed all my enchantments. I can't place both Nullify AND Reverse Magic at the same time, because one spell would trigger both making one pointless.

How can I counter this tactic for future reference???

I'm assuming it's perfectly legal to use the Thornslasher to snatch an enemy from one zone away through a bloodspine wall without taking damage?

I think I know the answer to this, but want to be sure. With Druid leaf ring equipped, am I able to deploy one additional vine Marker (from Vine Tree), for zero mana? Is the Vine Marker a spell? And if so, is it considered a plant spell?

Fairly new to this game, and have never played as a druid, so appreciate any help.
