In a development that shocks no one, we get a shout-slinging familiar. I'd say it'll see play.

Like Heart of Gravikor though, the legendary clause is bothersome, but at least I won't have to race this out against Paladin.

Don't know about this card considering the boxes you have to check, but if they're taking 'Lord into "control as much territory" territory, sign me up. It'll finally distinguish him from other mages and make him a less warmed over Straywood BM.

This isn't all that hot for the end game or priest. Lock has more ways to cast without using actions and the whole point is to keep burns around as long as possible. I would think you'd drop this early and kill it with fire ASAP.

Resilient has no counter.

Kill it with fire.

Edit: Damn. Beaten to it.

1. Sleep conditions don't work. Others do. Ranged attacks from Psylok and Screech Harpy cannot target them.

2. Mind Control, Charm, Pacify, Sleep, kinda Mass Sleep (it works on other non-psy immune creatures in zone), and Mind Shield.

3. Other than Unstable Zombie, no. And you're not explicitly reconstructing that.

Even if it had indirect fire (which it should have IMO) it's a terrible turn one play. It's strictly tech to nuke problem conjurations like WT, TOL, or Idol. Anytime I played it, it was last quick sat the turn prior and I got maybe one-two uses with mixed results. But I would never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever build around it.

If this were my book, I would run something like this.

-First off, you're Wizard and Arcane. And you want to protect yourself. Yet no jinx, nullify, reverse magic, arcane ring, and you're running Flower over Crystal. That is wrong.


-Second, five mana rocks is overkill if you plan on winning. First turn A. Ring into Crystal... second turn moonglow and crystal is as reasonably greedy as I'd recommend.


-Echo the need for more protection. E.Cloak + Wind Armor + Regrowth Belt + Gloves give you enough armor and a wide range of attack hate to hold up. Some of this is a meta call but you get the idea.


-Your build needs to be tighter. Mana denial doesn't help your plan (if you do it, go all the way:  Siphon, obelisk, essence drain, etc.)


-And finally, "dwarves, and angels, and thunder tickling! Oh, my!" is cool as a theme I guess. But competitively, you always stay in school if it can accomplish the same thing: Why run dwarf over gargoyle when the latter is more durable vs. a wider range of attacks, is half the cost, and the soldier subtype is irrelevant to you? I'd run Selesius over Vashalla (not worth it in a book with just five other creatures you don't want to die) who runs your keep-away-and-push-into gas plan. Same with Whirling Spirit. Harpy is in the book because 4+ daze helps, but your call. You go out of school for stuff like Electric Rudolph with free ranged lighting, or poison blood, or whatever utility y[size=78%]ou can't natively get. Overall, you're tying 34 points into six creatures, gimping your control and armor, and the long game you want goes up in smoke when you exhaust your spell book before your opponent.[/size]

Good luck. Hope this helps.

Any love or the warlord went to promos. The mage is fine, but he could have used utility like critical strike, ballista, Minotaur, akiro's favor, morning star, and vorpal blade. As it was, those we're put on the cutting room floor to make room for Earth spells so now it's a matter waiting for the next expansion.
