What sIKE says. The key is to make him loose his Flying trait. Once you've thrown an Acid Ball at him, 14 Life aren't that much for such a big hitter. And without Flying, you can drag him through your cheap Bloodspine Walls (and away from his Mage so he cannot support him - you might want to Tanglevine the Mage for that).

Alternative if you are okay with playing no-plant creatures: [mwcard=MWSTX1CKC03]Galador, Protector of Straywood[/mwcard] (he will need support, though).

Hm... I like the overall idea and would like to try it out myself. Thanks right away for the inspiration!

However, I don't think that an opponent who realises what you are trying to do (Lair+Amulet) and who decides to attack you early as a consequence would go for the Amulet. Hyper-aggro enemies (Solo Forcemaster/Warlock, Big Buddy builds...) go for your Mage's throat, the intention being that the game will be over after turn 8 at latest (and they can hurt you badly as early as turn 3).

Why the Skeletal Knights?

They have Psychic Immunity, that's why he is planning on playing them against the Forcemaster. A good idea, I think - okay, you invest more spellbook points, but at the same time you save points (and actions) for putting Nullify on them or Dispel spells such as Mind Control.

I agree with sdougla2 that I might be good to include some more defenses and drop the Mediation Amulet.

Just an addition to the Battle-Forge-Mage-Wand-Action-Saving trick: I worked out the same trick with the Warlord's [mwcard=FWQ05]Helm of Command[/mwcard]. The cool thing is that the 'old' spell goes back to your spellbook, so can you either use for the Mage or for Gurmash and therefore cut down some copies of your command spells.

The basic idea from the first build was to cast equipment every turn, so I definitely spend the mana. Plus: I can replace the Helm of Command by deploying it via the Forge, i.e. no quick action for switching the spell bound to it.
Then again, I haven't used the Helm that much anyway, and feel like trying out an opening with Gurmash instead of the Forge+Helm idea.

Here is the updated version of an earlier build of mine (see http://forum.arcanewonders.com/index.php?topic=13774.0).

Opening 1 (attack on turn 3):
(19) Move 1, Battle Forge ( in NC, Harmonize on Forge (4); 7 Mana left
(16+2) Deploy Ring of Command (1+2), Fullcast Minotaur (15); 0 Mana left
(10+2) Deploy Helm of Command (2+2), Lion Savagery on Minotaur (5), Charge (Battle Orders) (0), Minotaur attacks for 9 dice.; 3 Mana left (could be used for a hidden enchantment, e.g. Armour Ward)

Opening 2 (attack on turn 4):
(19) Move 1, Battle Forge ( in NC, Harmonize on Forge (4); 7 Mana left
(16+2) Deploy Ring of Command (1+2), Wall of Earth (5) to protect the Forge; 10 Mana left
(19+2) Deploy Helm of Command (2+2), Fullcast Minotaur (15), unrevealed Lion Savagery on Minotaur) (2); 0 Mana left
(9+2) Deploy Leather Boots (if opponent seems to go for you), Wand of Healing (if your fear condition markers on the Minotaur) (2), Charge (Incantation via Helm of Command) (3), reveal Lion Savagery (3), Minotaur attacks for 10 dice.
Instead of the Charge Incantation, one could also the Charge Battle Orders (0) and put a Nullify on the Minotaur.

I put in Gurmash in in order to have some more mana, actions, and another source for Command spells so my Mage could pack the Morning Star and go for melee as well, but I haven't tried this yet. My first match with a slightly different version ended in a loss because I packed no Force Pushes (and only had 110 spellbook points, shame on me!) - and because I lost the Forge on turn 3. I had the most important equipment on the Mage, but still it was problematic for the overall idea. That's why I came up with the second opening if the opponent goes for the Forge. Squeezing in Shift Enchantment might be a good idea for mid game in order to move Harmonize from the Forge to my Mage.

Whatever! 

No, true, I forgot those. Still, most spawnpoints only have one copy.

Just like all the other spawnpoints in the game (Lair, Gate to Voltari, Pentagram...) - one copy only.
