War mage/alchemist.... and I want to see a paladin angel so bad!

Hey man!

For me, unless you are going full mana denial, supression cloak is not as good as elemental cloak, but then again, I don't really face too many swarm decks, and by the time my gorgons get done with them, they are far too weak to really do anything against 4 armor and a melee defense. And the earth elemental is suprisingly awesome when you have properly funneled them to where they cannot move, with wall of stones, traps, etc. Elemental just punishes them for trying to stand around, and charge on golem is almost mandatory, I usually will switch sleep/teleport wand for charge midway through the game. IT really keeps them on their toes. But to be honest, this deck is really holding up better than Air/fire wizard has for me IMO. I would really consider taking out the hydras for more gorgons... they have to keep away from a longer distance, and they can't run from the gorgon, especially more melee oriented decks have to be in the same zone to really do damage to the gorgon, so, charge+golem gets them off guard!

Although I find that for the payout, hawkeye+hurl boulder is better than the ring hawkeye fireball/thunderbolt combo, I do agree with your statement.

As far as damage, I find that getting two gorgons out and then pinning them down with traps and golems really hurts them, and is insane in the mid game. If they go for the gorgon kill, they are going to lose the game. I'm thinking of removing the hydra for a second golem for that reason... they have a way of making sleep and force push suck. As far as earthquake.... hmmm, I haven't gotten the chance to test it, but the next creature swarm deck I face, I will have to see how it fares. Cheers!

Thank you for your kind suggestions! I also added in Huginn, taking out Drain Power, because Drain Power is just a win more with this spellbook, and Huginn seems incredibly efficient with 13 incantations... any other thoughts?

And a typo on the elemental ring, it's supposed to be an enchanter's ring, to kind of bevy spending a little bit. May take out the third dispel for an arcane ring, not sure yet though..

Alright, so with the advent of the Warlord's massively awesome earth spells and creatures, I birthed an idea.... Iron golem and hurl boulder are incredible. No you can't lightning ring or flame ring to get the +1, but when facing a warlock, flame is terrible, and everyone seems to love elemental cloak these days. Earth gets past this. So, here is what I have come up with so far....

3x Hurl Boulder (6)

For the not so obvious selections, I have deathlock because regen is a problem in my small meta, two wands for dissolve, they do get dissolve happy. I am testing out susurko... Any thoughts, suggestions? It's 2-0 right now, but we will see as time goes on..

I'm just wondering where I can find the offical tournament rules for Mage Wars?
