Knockdown says the creature is incapacitated until the start of its next action phase. Does this mean the one coming up or the one after? (a common usage in normal English, but less clear in a strict rule context)
I assume that means, as soon as it action phase starts during the round it is no longer incapacitated? The usefulness of this spell would be to ...knock down a flying creature after its action phase is incomplete so all of your melee creatures may attack it? This means it would not prevent it from taking its normal action when it comes time...

Knockdown makes creature incapacitated until the start of the first action it would take.
It could be quite usefull for:
- denying it's flying for your ground units to attack it.
- denying it's all deffences.
- preventing that creature from hindering movement.
- preventing it from guarding.
- denying it's counterstrikes.
I tend to prefer Knockdown over Perfect Strike - it costs me 1 spellbook point more 1 more mana to cast, but it has more uses.
