So i feel like this went pretty well.  Got a few people interested and found out after that my FLGS wants to start some kind of league/tournament play of their own.  So that's pretty exciting.

While demoing one of the newer printings of the base game this weekend I noticed that the cards have the errata changes printed on them.

League / Tournament Play / My first Demo

So this Saturday my FLGS is hosting a game day where you can bring your own games or play some of the stock ones that they keep open in the back.   While i was speaking to a guy that works there about the Organized Play Kits, he agreed that we could open a copy of Mage Wars as a Store copy and that i could set it up for Demoing.   I've been reading through all of the resources available but any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Quick cast is basically a free quick action you mage can do at any time before or after any creature you own, or your mage.  This means that you mage can cast a quick attack spell and then perform their full action.   Or you can cast Bear Strength on a friendly creature and then use that creature to attack.

*Put my hand up to catch the mic and begin walk to the stage*
*Cast quick spell to create a microphone stand made of ice*

Hello,  My name is Wintár.  I am an Ice Mage from the Northern Mountains.

Don't get to many visitors up in the cold mountains, and certainly aren't any parrots.*Grins* It isn't completely lonely up in the mountains however.  There a plethora of mountain animals and snow creatures to keep me company.

I'm not difficult to get along with and open conversation is certainly welcome.   I spend a good amount of time practicing my arts, that is when I'm not defending my property.   Those Ice Giants and Yetis can be quite destructive if left unchecked.

That's pretty much sums me up.  *Turns and walks off stage leaving the mic in it's ice stand for.....*

I hope you guys are excited when you see the new demons we have in store. We haven't shown the best art yet. You'll know it when you see it ;-)

That new art is incredible.   And you are saying its not even the best?   Oh man can't wait.

Spellbook Design and Construction / Re: The Sith Lord

For the sake of the name theme, you need some lightning attacks.

However, as I suspected, I am not a fan of the card game tournament format where you bring any mage spellbook and can face off against any mage spellbook. In my view this adds too much variability to the tournament path a player faces and tends to create more 'general' spellbook designs since a player must contend with an increasing option of opponent mages to counter. For example, by this time next year there will be 4 new mages that a spellbook design must potentially counter. I will continue this point in the Tournament Forum when I have the time.

I have to respectfully disagree with you.   While you are right about it pushing more towards general spellbook designs,  in my experience,  it doesnt push them towards generic spellbook designs.  Ive played my share of Ccg and tcg tournaments and for whatever the current ban lists havent had at yet is all you will see.  Sure you might see a spike in a certain mages with certain card releases but currently there is really only one mage that doesnt stand a chance.   This currently leave 7 viable options all with there own unique playstyles along with what ever build that person believes will work for them.
