It is very sad to read they no longer plan to "fix" the builder. I know errata is not taken lightly but I am of the opinion this creature needs it. An otherwise great creature made much less great because of a rules oversight.

This topic is closed for now please let it go.

Sorry, I am kind of new here. The thread was not locked so I assumed it was ok to comment on it. Did I violate a forum policy?

Hey, it was my follow-up question that should get credit

I introduced GeorgeFalcon to the game so I like to tease him on it.

Just for you though. "Great job DaveW you helped break Mage Wars!" ;P

Great job GeorgeFalcon! You broke Mage Wars!

I was hoping they would release an alternate art promo pack that contained all of em. Though now that some mages have an alternate art I would want all future mages to as well which could be a headache from a collectors standpoint.

I agree the Kraken would be infinitley more cool if there was a "release" mechanic. It could be similar to the Alter of Domination and I would be perfectly fine with that. As long as during a game someone gets to say "And now I release the Kraken!"

Me and a buddy are actually trying to find a tournament scene for Mage Wars in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area right now. My availability is mostly limited to Saturdays right now due to work restrictions but his is wide open. If you need players PM me and we can see if schedules mesh up for it. I would be up for FFG, Tower Games, or the Source as a venue but really any place in the area would work. I know the Source has Bi-weekly board game days on Saturdays that should be ripe with board game enthusiasts. I have been toying around with the idea of becoming an ambassador for there. Would have to check in to see if someone else is already doing it first though as I don't want to be "that guy". Anyway, PM me if you want 2 more players for Tournaments in the area.

Hi all! New to the forums and have a massive 3 games under my belt. So please take this idea with a grain of salt.

So I was reading through the Forums and one of the threads I read was by The Dude and was called The Bait... it is an old thread that discusses using the Gorgon archer in order to bait the enemy mage where you want them. The reason the Gorgon works as good bait is it cannot shoot it's own zone which makes it almost a no-brainer to melee. I have refined that idea a bit and expanded on it to develop the Bait and Switch.

The Premise- Have a Gorgon archer enchanted with Akiro's favor located near center. Enchant with a face down Eagles wings and enchant the zone with a face down Teleport Trap. While your Wizard is building up a Pit of monsters (I like Mana Leeches personally) in the starting corner have the Gorgon archer heckle the enemy creatures and Mage. The first creature that goes to take down the Gorgon gets teleported where you want it (Like the hopefully ready zone full of Mana Leeches) or at minimum 2 zones back the direction it came to give more turns to accrue those Weak tokens. The second time a creature (or mage) enters the Gorgons zone before the declare attack step reveal the Eagles wings to make the Gorgon an ineligible target for melee then ignore the (hopefully non-flying) creature and continue to ping other eligible targets with the Gorgon. Enjoy the tempo you receive by the opponent wasting actions on the Gorgon.

In an ideal situation this will cost the opponent at least 3 move actions and will give him many weak tokens he has to deal with. Though ranged attacks or fliers could kill the Gorgan they are not as heavy of a concern due to Regeneration and the rarity of those attacker types compared to melee combatants. This may not win a duel and will probably not work on the same opponent twice. But it will sure as heck be a distracting side strategy if it fires off. Any thoughts or corrections?
