Just getting started with the game and with Forcemaster, but have done a lot of reading on the forums.
The prevalent Forcemaster strategies appear to include 1-2 elite creatures, typically some combination of Grizzly, Vampiress or Brogan.
Has anyone considered running Gorgon Archer instead? In general, the Gorgon will encourage the enemy to close which is just what the FM wants. FM also has plenty of low cost force pushes available to get the slow Gorgon in position to make its full round weakening attack.
Also looking for suggestions on dealing with difficult matchups - for example, Iron Golem. At this point, the book has only a few counters for the Golem: Teleport, Force Hold, Block.
Looking for cards to round out the Spellbook.
