So, bashcon is at Toledo, OH? I might actually go to that! (I live in Pittsburgh, wouldn't mind staying the night for a tourney).

Spells / Re: Divine Intervention is incredibly useful!

Thanks for the protip Charmyna 
, hadn't considered using it offensively like that. Have you had a chance to try this out? I'll definitely be considering it the next time I get to run a Wizard.

General Discussion / Mage Wars Organized Play Flyers?
« on: January 10, 2013, 03:18:32 PM »
Hey all,
I'm trying to promote a league, or some kind of organized play in the area. I'd like to make a flyer, but have absolutely no artistic talent. I've heard, however, the internet is full of people that are pretty good with photoshop. Would any of you kind sirs be so inclined to help me out for best wishes? I would truly, greatly appreciate it!

Strategy and Tactics / Re: The crowd control priestess

Really enjoyed the read, thank you for the write-up! Since I haven't gotten to play against many opponents yet its still really hard for me to just read something like this and see it unfold.
I've been wanting to build a priestess so I think I'll be using this opener as my basis. I'll let you know how it goes!

Jim did a good job covering it . The first session went pretty much as I expected - the game is new, and I haven't been trying to drum up interest for long. I would absolutely love to see another player join us - we're a friendly bunch of guys so don't feel uncomfortable just walking up and saying hi!
I'll be posting here about details for our next get together (maybe this Thursday if I can manage it). Please keep in touch!

Rules Discussion / Re: Max creatures in a zone?
« on: January 03, 2013, 02:08:37 PM »Quote from: "Arcanus" post=6121
There is NO maximum.
However, zone effects (such as a Firestorm) will naturally discourage over-stacking a zone.
Isn't THIS the truth - lost 2 foxes, a badger, and got my lair hammered thanks to firestorm!

Spells / Fellella, Pixie Familiar - Useful to Beastmaster?
« on: January 02, 2013, 02:07:19 PM »
I think I like Fellella, I really do. I just... I just don't know if I can fit her into my beastmaster deck. Here is why I'm struggling:
On turn one, I feel like - unless I'm doing something very aggressive - my best option is to use the Lair, which pays for itself in 8 turns. In the meantime its freeing you up a full action per turn for doing things other than casting. That sets you all the way back to 4 mana, there are very few cool options at four mana so I tend to opt for a ring (2 mana).
On the second turn, we start with 11 mana (2 leftover, channel 9) and 2 on our lair. That's 13 to cast on a creature, or 11 on anything else. I can't help but to feel like casting Fellella here is dangerous, as you'd be left with only 1 mana to do anything.
Finally, on the third turn, is when I feel like you might (depending on your opponent's aggression) have a chance to cast Fellella. She will not pay for herself now for another 12 turns, and you have pretty much lost your chance for any kind of early aggression - maybe that's okay.
Has anyone else thought about this? Do you other beastmasters use Fel in your deck? If so, how has she done for you? Is she worth 2 foxes? 2 mana flowers?
Thank you for your thoughts.
