I was thinking about a weapon for Johktari, so that she can use it while double-moving...

BLOWGUN

6 mana - Quick - 0-2 Mage
Nature 2 - Beastmaster Only
Weapon slot only

Quick Attack - Range 0-1 - 2 Die
Unavoidable-Critical Damage
No effect againt nonliving creatures

No poison effect; i've intended it as critical dmg. I think that Weak or Tainted even at 10+ would be too strong for a tactical, guerrilla-like bow.

Your opinions are appreciated.

Thx,
G.

Hi guys,

i don't have so much experience right now with MW, but i've built some decks in OCTGN and sometimes i win...! 

Btw, i'd wish to ask you opinions about 2 cards that made me think...

1) RENEWING SPRING: in a non-Priestess deck, it's still viable??? Or it far more better Healing Wand and/or Purify??? I felle that losing an action is a very high price to pay for my creatures...

2) HUGINN: in an Harmo-Gate deck, how can he helps? Why i have to summon it instead of (for example) a Gorgon Archer o another Golem/Jelly/Hydra??? Yes, he has Def, but an Unavoidable spell kills it immediately....

Really glad to read you 

G.

I am referring to this post :
http://forum.arcanewonders.com/index.php?topic=13469.msg28227#new

in which  i talk about special type of creatures that "do something" when they enter play. For Example:

BOG FIRE
School: Fire 1 & Dark 1
Mana Cost: 6
Full-Cast Action
0-0 - Zone
No Armor
3 Life
Quick Melee ATK 1D Ethereal : 9+ Burn
Flying, Incorporeal, Nonliving
When Fire Spark enters play, you may put a Burn marker on a non-Mage opposing creature in the same zone.

ROYAL HEALER
School: Holy 2
Mana Cost: 8
Full Cast Action
0-0 Zone
0 Armor
6 Life
Quick Melee ATK 2D
When Royal Healer enters play, you may roll 2D and heal that many damage to your Mage.


WAR SMITH
School: War 3
Mana Cost: 10
Full Cast Action
0-0 Zone
2 Armor
8 Life
Quick Melee ATK 3D Piercing 1
Unique, Tough -1
When War Smith enters play, you may put a Stun marker on him. If you do so, choose and reveal an equipment card with a mana cost of 3 or lower and equip it to your Mage.


More to come...

Hi Guys, my name is Gigi and i'm from Italy. I started play Mage Wars some weeks ago, and i'm trying to build a 4-6 player base, waiting that the game will be translated in late 2014.

I've done many matches in Apprentice Mode, in order to teach other people the game, but very very few ones with the 'core' lists found in the handbook, with few tweakings. While i really have clear plans regarding Beastmaster and Wizard, i have some questions regarding priestess opening (remember, i have only 1 base box).

First, let's assume that i'm starting in the lower-right corner, called D1 as in chessboards.
So, my idea of opening with her is (never playtested... i hope to use her wednesday):

T1 : (20) - No Move - Temple of Asyra and Harmonize
Comments: i think it's an acceptable opening; if i plan to play a creature during T2, i'll move in C1 in order to have it near the Near-Center.

T2 : (16+2) - Deploy Cleric (2+3) QC Mana Flower in D2 - Move in C1 and another Mana Flower in B1.
Comments: do i really need a 2nd turn creature as Archer or Angel or can i continue turtling???
In first case, i'd end the turn with only 1 mana... btw let's assume i play 2 Flowers. I need mana!

T3 : (15+2) - Bim Shalla in B1 and Temple of Light in C2 (NC) and shoot (-3 Mana)
Comment: after errata, it's still useful to play Temple-combo? I tend to like it for the stun/daze chance...

T4 : (13+5) - Deploy Cleric (0+5).... that leaves me with 13 mana, 10 if i wish to shoot with ToL; so what can i do now? The problem is i have no offensive creatures in play and with 10 manas there's nothing good!
I could do nothing else in order to drop angel on T5... too late???

Could you give me some advices pls? Thx you so much!
Gigi

P.S.: @Nihil: greets from an old Warlord player!
