The warlock is all about upfront aggression so I made spell book to fit this. All the resource were spent on the front cover and the back cover was left plain.  Soft suede lined the inside covers, and the built in bookmark was tasselled. The warlock is about burning and destroying but she has to look good doing it.

This was not originally intended to be a necro Book, it ended up perfectly as one.

I choose Lamb skin leather this time (well something had to be sacrificed to the necro).  I put a small metal plate under the front cover in the middle and cut out the Chinese symbol for wizard or mage.  I really wanted to cut out the Chinese character "war" too, but it would have been too complicated.  I added the skull cross by the "wizard" symbol to make the Unholy Wizard spell book otherwise known as the Necromancer spell book.  The book is so evil that it had to be bounded with chains.  This wrap around tie string was originally going  used on the druid book but I could not find a non tacky vine to use. A friend suggested using the chains as a tie string and it was perfect.

I know AW announced battlegrounds and domination game modes but will this include the dungeon crawl mode that was suggested earlier?  Last night I played a 3 player game and one of my friends made his sole goal to kill my Druid's vine tree and my tataree butterfly.  He mange to kill my vine tree with help from the third player but left my tataree with one life.  My druid ended up wining the game but he was satisfied with my hacks up vine tree.  We all had a laugh but got me thinking about a secret mission game mode where your goal is a secret and your opponents are trying to figure out your goal and stopping you while trying to complete their own secret goal.  What are the other game modes in battlegrounds and anything like this in battlegrounds?

I love the idea that all cards will be available and their are no chase cards in mage wars.   I already own 2 core sets and all the expansions and can make about 4 decent spell books.  I don't want to rip apart one of these to make a new dwarflord book.  I have considered buy another core set, which is more cost effective than buying a bunch of spelltomes.  However I will come up with the same problem when paladin vs siren comes out.  The expansions offer lots of great cards but they lack core cards needed to make a proper spell book. 

My suggestion is for AW to release 10-15 card boosters like the way the munchkin game does.  The booster would consist of set cards.  One booster could be arcane essentials where u get nullifies, harmonize, seek dispels, force push etc. Another booster could be the armory chest where you equipment would be available.  Each booster could also release a promo card.  For about $5 a booster we could get a the cards we need as well as the amount of each card without breaking the bank.  This would promote making more spell books and therefore more mage wars.
