HI there,
I recently played my first game with the forcemaster and enjoyed it very much.
But when constructing my spellbook the weakness of the forcemaster became clear.
Problems with:
1. direct (curses) and unavoidable damage.
2. high equipment-build (so that opponent mage have a ton of armor)
3. creatures with defenses and creatures that guard
4. the easy killable toughtspore
5. But the biggest weakness i find is to deal with flying creatures! That can be a real pain in the *... :unsure:
To counter the weaknesses:
1. 2x dispel (can also be used on thoughtspore) + forcefield
2. 2x dissolve (") + considering a piercing strike
3. falcon precision + mongoose agility
4. i play 1 cheetah speed to get out of range for incoming attacks and i would still able to use the bind spell to it + i play 1 shift enchantment
5. this is my main concern. I included: maim wings, 2x force hold (but the problem with this is that it can still guard so that it gets a counterstrike), charm (holds the creature for 1 attack), 2x hurl boulder (this card is really good card in my opinion. I bind it to a thoughtspore and fire almost every turn), 2x battle fury, 2x mind control (but they mostly get dispelled), 2x force bash.
If you have any suggestions, tips i would really appreciate it.
Off course this is my opinion. Let me here what you think.

A couple fo Psyloks are good for hunting down fliers and for dealing with armor. They dont do tons of damage, but its Unavoidable and Critical (ignores armor) and has a daze chance.
-
The problem with psylok is that its killed so easily by another flying creature (no armor, 8 life). So i find that psylok is not mana-efficient (cost 8 mana and a full action which means that i can't melee with my mage).
So i think it's not that great.

He really sucks against a Warlock equipped with a LOH.
