i like the artwork.

Well played, sir.

And Merry Christmas to you all!

it is not about power or anything. renewing spring is my favorite conjuration. you all are very welcome to your clearly wrong opinions.

Hi Zot

I am intrigued as to why the Renewing Spring is your favourite conjuration. It seems you have strong feelings about it. Could you please spread the Word to us unbelievers? 

Altar of Skulls is actually quite good in multiplayer Domination and becomes the thing everyone else has to focus on immediately - mainly because cheap low-health living creatures are common in Domination.

I have found that Domination games are over too quickly for the Altar of Skulls to be really effective. In my normal 3-player set up with an 11-point win condition the game is often over in about turn 7. if you say the Altar starts operating in turn 3 that would make 8 points of poison damage on everyone. No worries for a mage, and probably not too much concern for a fair few of the other creatures running around.


And now to put myself very much at the end of Zot's line:

I consider Renewing Spring to be a little undercooked. Being static it means that creatures will usually have to step out of the line in order to use it, and move again to get back in line. Losing an attack or a guard action to get 3 dice of healing is rarely worth it, in my view. I'd rather swing for a 6 dice attack of my own and have my mage prepare to put out another creature.   


When it comes to my favourite conjuration, I probably can't go past the good old fashioned Battleforge. Saves my mage the need to use its own spell actions to put out the little equipment (or doubles the speed of kitting up). Lovely.   

Sardonyx.

Because one day a hero will come who can make that creature work. And that day will be a day of glory.

But it is not this day.

Snakes and Spiders and area control.

Basic idea is to use lots of restrained effects to catch the opponent's creatures and take advantage of the spiders' taint and eggs.

A couple of straywood scouts because they should frankly be in every deck as a re-directable Marked for Death.

Kralathor is there only for the occasional encounter with a Necromancer or perhaps for flyer-heavy builds.

Basilisk is out of school but the cripple ranged effect is a very nice one for this strategy.

I am always worried about mana costs for equipment. My preference is always for lots of low cost items rather than a few high cost pieces. The latter provide much bigger targets for opponents while the former effectively ‘swarm’ the enemy’s available counters.

But I really think the Orb needs to be in this build, regardless.

Right. Here are a few changes.
