Gravikor behind your hill is extremely effective also. 

It becomes a no fly zone.

I thought about that, but with Kralathor, Thornslashers, and Hunting Bow, I'm less concerned with flying creatures at this point. I did forget to put a zone attack spell or two, however. I'm going to have to revisit that.

I made a few changes not reflected above:

-2 Falcons (2)
-1 Leviathan Scale (1)
-1 Waterfall Cloak (1)
-1 Tarok (3)
-1 Wall of Thorns (1)
+1 Gravikor (4) (or Kralathor)
+1 Astral Anchor (2)
+1 Wall of Earth (2)

Reasons:
- As good as they are, I rarely play the Falcons because I prefer to have creatures pop up where they're needed via Vine markers. Also, I needed the Falcons for another book. (How do I only have 8 Falcons with 2x 1st ed core, 1x 4th ed core and 1x spell tome 1?)
- Don't really need Leviathan Scale or Waterfall Cloak. Chitin + Rhino Hide + Barkskin should be plenty in most matches.
- Tarok was there for anti-Falcon tech... but Thornlashers, attack spells and Burst of Thorns already do this; also, same problem as Falcons (re: summoning to my zone). Kralathor has Reach and can be summoned anywhere, and is great at gobbling up Level 1's whether they're flying or not. Let him finish off a Sslak or 2 and then set him loose!
- Or, use Gravikor instead. Non-flying Falcons are easier to deal with, can be pushed/snatched through Bloodspine Walls, and are hindered by Vine markers, so they're little more than Goblin Grunts. Right now, it's a toss-up between Kralathor or Gravikor... but all my Gravikors are in other books.
- Wall of Thorns isn't as good in a format that tends to be dominated by minor creatures, and sometimes you just need an impenetrable wall - hence upgrading to a Wall of Earth.
- good call on Astral Anchor. Makes Tanglevine better, not only when used to slow something down but also when used to remove a Guard, as this prevents an easy Teleport-to-same-zone counter.

I think these are good choices. I was torn on the armor just in case one opponent decides to get aggressive. I also like the addition of Gravikor.

If memory serves me correctly, your group also made a house-rule of not allowing Galaxxus, correct?

This is closer to my first book:

Interested in trying out the druid with some of the new terrain. I don't know why, but the hill in particular really intrigues me. Akiro's Favor has become a staple in all my books. One of my favorite cards in the entire game.

R1: Vine Tree + Harmonize - move
R2: Ring of the Ocean + FD Hawkeye - move
R3: whatever makes sense depending on opposing mage's aggression.

Regardless, the idea is to have the druid safely atop the hill using the adjacent swamps and elephant grass to make it difficult for enemy creatures to get to the hill. Obviously, the Vine Tree casts vine creatures/conjurations while the druid binds surging wave and burst of thorns and focuses on enchantments.

Thoughts?

Used this book tonight in a game of 3 player Domination, and whoa, did the druid dominate. By the third round it was clear she was a force to be reckoned with. At this point both opponents basically ganged up on her. By round 5, I had a full garden with creatures and flowers guarding 2 orbs, (one being a Vinesnapper w/growth marker). She basically was able to counter everything the opposing mages threw at her. Granted, the opposing mages being a wizard and priestess (not the strongest domination books I've seen), but still. A landslide victory is a landslide victory- especially when both opponents were coming at her with everything they had. The only addition I might add for next time is an Astral Anchor. Otherwise, great book!

Thought I would share that we had a successful event! Introduced 5 new players to Mage Wars with enough interest that those who attended asked about setting up a Mage Wars League in my area. So, that's my next step- to organize and coordinate actual league play. 

I've done a nice job recruiting and holding mage wars events within my own gaming group- this time last year none of us had even heard of mage wars, now my entire group owns MWs and all expansions with regularly scheduled sessions. That said, as a new ambassador, I'm gearing up to hold my first demo at my local game store- for those veteran Mage Wars players who have experience doing public demos- what advice do you have?
