Liar is the hardest thing to kill though. Its worth the mana alone if your opponent spends the time and actions trying to get rid of it. Never mind the fact that you can get out three foxes on turn two with a lair. If you go the Grizzly buff route, then it might not be your best option, but other than that, Lair and Fellella with the Beastmasters ability make him......well.......a Beast.Party on Darth!... um.. I mean... well said!
@Aarrow.I haven't done much with the familiar yet. I zoned in on Lair, but this sounds interesting and I'll definitely give it a try!
Did you try the opening with summoning your familiar (enchanter) while casting a face down cheetah speed on you while you are moving? 2nd turn may try to buff yourself and add a mana crystal while you are moving in as being aggressive. Each turn the familiar also cast a face down enchantment on you + you are are casting face down enchantment. At the third turn just reveal what buff you need to pound on the poor mage. Each turn you reveal new buff as needed. Must bring Nullify on you.
I remember that strategy really well. Death of an opposing Agressive Mage in 4 or 5 turns with my familiar doing the killing blow.
Buff/cards that will help you is Elusiveness + cheetah speed + Bear Strength + Battle Fury + Dissolve + Force Push + Teleport Trap (just in case you are facing a mage that keeps on running with Teleport spell) + Mage Wand with Teleport.+ Nullify
Well, one thing I wanted to point out in your strategy is that you mention putting Jinx on your opponent to stop the zone attack spells, but this doesn't work. Jinx only cancels "Quick spells" while zone attack spells are Full Action spells.Who invited Captain Buzzkill!? Lol! ....Seriously, thanks for pointing that out. I can't believe I missed that!
As a matter of fact, there is no counter for a zone attack spell (unless you count Forcefield). They cannot be Jinxed and they ignore Defenses, Blocks and Reverse Attacks. It's one of the reasons why I consider swarm builds to be among the weakest, because there is nothing you can do about zone attacks and they shred swarms.
Hopefully they come up with a true counter to zone attacks at some point. That would give swarms a boost.
I would argue that in a team fight, players should be allowed to look at friendly facedown enchants, and in fact should be REQUIRED to look at each others enchants during the "Cast Spell" step.I second this! Each team should "play as one" anyway, discussing strategies, table talk, and freedom to see each others hands. This would be the easiest solution.
Otherwise, it would be way too easy for players to intentionally duplicate enchantments on each other. For example, you know that it is very likely that enemy players will dispel Bear Strength on a Forcemaster: so if both players agree before the game that they'll cast bear strength on the FM. If their opponents cry foul at the duplication they'd just say, "oops, it was unintentional".
The purpose of outlawing duplicates is so that: When I dispel a bear strength off your Mage, no matter how many facedown enchants are still on you, I should be 100% certain that you do not have a Bear Strength, unless you spend another quick action to cast a brand new enchant.
The same rule should apply to casting hostile enchants, or else I'll get my teammate to cast a duplicate Ghoul Rot on you.
I think I can help OP.Does this work? I thought X's "value" couldn't get higher than 3?
ASAP, get a barracks with harmonize and two garrison posts to give your barracks +4 channeling.
