Any other possibilities with these cards that people have discovered?

I find Brace Yourself very helpful for the Forcemaster :

- For those times when your defense fails, ( or your opponent makes an unavoidable attack ) you can wait until you've seen the die-roll results and then decide if you reveal or not.

- As a Forcemaster I don't like to spend spellpoints, actions and mana on armour anyway and Brace Yourself gives you the perfect alternative. Paired with for instance Hand of Bim Shalla, you can go from zero armor to 5 armor on the fly.

- It's a nice way around Acid Ball, since you have no amor, corrosion counters don't "stick" making Acid Ball a pretty useless spell against you.

Hi Silverclaw,
I'm currently in my noon break a work so I don't have the time to go into great detail but the thing that strikes me most is that you have relatively few targets for your Death Ring and Libro Mortuos, so I think you're not getting the most out of those two cards.
The selection of Skeletons seems more toolbox than focused.

I'm wondering how efficient the Acolytes are.
Do you play them often ? It seems like you have plenty of healing already with Mort and 2 Reassembles.
Wouldn't you be better off with 2 Skeleton Sentry's instead ? I like those very much as they're much more durable ( 11 life) than the Minions ( 5 life ) and could potentially benefit more from Mort's healing ability.

Sorry , gotta go ...
grtz

I'm currently working on a Forcemaster spellbook and the Druid does require some special attention because of the tough matchup she presents.

The traits that define the Druid and her troops are Regeneration, Fire Weakness and Rooted.
Those are the things I'd like to take away and focus on.

Deathlock in your corner zone seems like a given. ( Regeneration removed )

Protect with a Thoughtspore with Flameblast ( Fire weakness ) who can also effectively backup the Forcemaster

Another Thoughtspore with Teleport can help you close the gap with the Druid and can further assist by simply teleporting annoying Rooted creatures like Thornlasher and Vine Snapper to a zone where they can't hurt anyone.

Protect your Thoughtspores from damage with Block

Thoughtspore with Force Push can also be quite effective in general, not only for moving your mage or moving guards out of the way but also for pushing the enemy mage into a wall for a 3-dice bash attack.

I just hope the modular board is part of an alternative, OPTIONAL gameplay and does not become part of the game as we currently play it.

Besides the obvious excellent enchantments like Vampirism and Bear Strength, I think Bull Endurance would suit him very well.
Not only would it increase his life total by 50 % but it would also make him much harder to take out with 1 hard hit and potentially get more healing out of his Vampirism.

A card that doesn't seem to get much attention on the forum is Whirling Strike and I am interested in hearing your thoughts on the card.

A 9-mana, quickcast Incantation for 3 attacks against 3 different targets looks like it should have its uses in certain spellbooks.

Clearly it is best used with creatures with a quick attack of 4+ basic attack dice.

It also seems to be intended to give a boost to solo Mages and/or elite creatures to deal with swarms and to give an action advantage to the user.

Going through the creature pool, to find out which creatures would benefit most from this card, the first card that sticks out is the Iron Golem.
6 attack dice x 3 can maw away weenies in a hurry.

The Warlord seems like a logical choice to run this combo, especially since his Ring of Command can bring the cost down to 8 mana for 12 extra attack dice.

An Earth Mage probably likes this card as well, as if he needs more power ...

Another excellent creature choice would be Adramalech, Lord of Fire
A 6-dice quick attack with a 66% chance of adding 1 or more Burn counters x3 is impressive.
Imagine using this on some Fire +2 creatures ( Druid, are you paying attention ? ) ouch.

In the 5-attack dice pool, Samandriel stands out.
5 attack dice, +1 vs non-living or dark creatures and a 50% chance to Daze or Stun seems to be quite potent as well.

Other honorable 5-attack dice mentions : Steelclaw Grizzly, Knight of Westlock ( which means the Priest could use 1 or 2 of these in his Spellbook imo ), Necropian Vampiress and Bridge Troll.

In the 4-attack dice category, Valshalla, Lightning Angel stands out and of course the Priest armed with a Staff of Asyra and the Warlock with his Whip can get some nice results out of this card.

The Forcemaster with Galvitar seems borderline and is probably better off with a Retaliate.

Special mention : Kralathor.
4 attack dice for starters, but 6 dice vs Undead and with the Growth ability tacked on this card has the potential to be big.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this card and for those who have already used it or seen it being used, please share your experience.

Anti-Magic Aura

Lvl 2 War Enchantment
Range : 0-2
Target : Corporeal Creature
Cost : (2) (X)

You may reveal Anti-Magic Aura during the Counter Spell step to counter an Incantation or Enchantment targeting this creature.
x = cost of the card being countered

- A boost to a school needing some love ( War )
- An efficient counter to Teleport imo

If they would make it only able to target friendly creature, then it would make turtling in your corner too powerful and the only viable and boring strategy since enemy mage could not force you out of your forteress.

Maybe it would be a good idea then to expand on the winning conditions and create a winning condition which discourages turtling, like :

You win the game :
A- If you kill the opposing Mage
or
B- If you control 9+ zones at the end of any round ( with "control" to be defined ... ) ... just an idea
