I found some but their is nothing like hand :'(
Evil acts are committed every day,
So therefore the world is evil.
I would have to disagree.
Yes, the world may be filled to the brim with darkness,
But, if we try, with a smile or a hug,
We can light it up.

After the league this week I hope to post my build and match results.

Any luck with your league Shad0w? What did you run?

I run aggro FM and change it up once a week so it is hard to meta against. Technically I play all 6 mages but I enjoy FM the most.

What does aggro FM consist of?  Is it like the OP's build? Earlier in thread you said you would post your build  :P

I feel like FM is least discussed mage so I am eager to see other people's successful builds.  ;D

Well Sorry but I was asked not to post it at this time. But several of the card have already been talked about.

 It is currently being looked at by the testers and AW team(once I have time to post it for them)

Shad0w, I really like that. The fact that you change so much around every week must be brutal on your locals.

My locals, so far, still just use my stuff. Our store is having trouble with Alliance...go figure.  I don't feel right about changing the books until these guys get their own copy.

Once you have a set core build it is easy to change up.

I think its a neat build!  The two biggest things I see that are different from other builds is the lack of Thoughtspores, or a way to gain Elusive (Falcon Precision / Evasive?) to get around mass Guarding.

A smaller query, I don't see any Nullify or other way to prevent your Enchantments / Equipment from being destroyed.  Do you find it not worthwhile to put in preventative measures?

I reality you never have more than 2-4 equips on. The important equips and enchants have a second copy for this reason. The Goal in this style build is to kill them as fast as possible. You do not let them have time to get an army out. One of you biggest tools is you can force pull for free using Force Ring. You must be hyper aggressive if they do get 2-3 guards out use Force Wave or Force Push to pick out the mage. Another thing most of you will notice is the lack of attack spells the reason behind this is unless they are from the earth school attacks are not currently action efficient. If they use an Iron Golem you can walk away from it due to the fact it is slow on turn you are not able to attack heal with Hand or use the armor with Hand. If you have not won by turn 10-12 you will most likely loose.

My biggest problem with Nullify is the fact it is mandatory. I hate mandatory cards if my nullify gets wasted on a card like decoy I just lost an action. What I would recommend is play this build at a local level try it out and try to understand my choices. To get good with a hyper aggressive build like this will take about 5-10 games remember to read the board state and take the time to analyze every play use the option to pass on taking actions until you can understand what the other players plan for the round is. You have 3 Dispels and 3 Seeking Dispels you must use them sparingly.
