I suppose that makes sense. My only problem is I have 3 mana to work with on turn 3. I could do a face down enchantment but probably not a whole lot more. Maybe I should opt out of the 2 magecast seedling pods turn 2 and throw down Meditation amulet and Tataree instead? I could deploy the last two seedling pods turn 4.

So taking ecepheron's advice I am revising my turn by turn here is what I am thinking.

Turn 1 - Cast Vine Tree (Treebond) and Samara Tree.

Turn 2 - Deploy two Seedling pods. Cast Tataree and facedown Harmonize on Vinetree.

Turn 3 - Deploy two Seedling pods. Cast Meditation Amulet. Meditate for +3 mana. Reveal Harmonize on Vine Tree. Have Tataree add 1 mana to a seedling pod with 1 mana already on it.

Turn 4 - Deploy two Seedling pods. Seedling pod Tataree gave mana last turn hatches into (Raptor vine?). Meditate for +3 Mana. Tataree adds a mana to another seedling pod.

Turn 5 - Deploy Tanglevine on enemy and Seedling pod. Have a seedling pod hatch into (Raptor vine?). Meditate for +3 Mana. Tataree adds a mana to another seedling pod. Quickcast something with mage.

Any thoughts?

How does everyone else handle promo use in their game groups? In the future I will likely be an ambassador and as prize support will be giving out promo cards to my players. That being said I know there is a stigma associated with using promo's for a lot of players. How do you guy's regulate their use? Would seem silly to right out ban them if that is the reward for showing up to events.

starting corner. every single time. placing an obaque wall in front of it would probably solve a lot of your troubles as well.

Indeed but paying 11 mana for a temporary solution I prefer to pay 13 mana (boulder + akiro favor) for a definitive solution. Theorically boulder + Akiro Favor will give an average of 9 damage vs a 1 armor target. Enough to get ride of the tree.

In nearly every Druid book the Vine tree will be the target of treebond. So calculate another armor and 4 more innate life into your math equation there. As for the boulder strategy in general Wall of Fog costs only 4 mana, 9 if they wants to extend it.

There is a consistent list of spells that I try to include in every book. May not always happen if a mage has to pay triple for it but it is a good core to strive for.

x2 Acid Ball
x2 Dissolve
x2 Dispel
x1 Seeking Dispel
x2 Torso armor of choice (I prefer Dragonscale Hauberk personally)
x1 Force Push
x1 Teleport
x1 Geyser
x1 Purify

Alright folks,
 This next Saturday the 27th will be another meet up at The Source Comics and Games. I personally will not be able to attend as I said earlier in the thread but there will be 3 confirmed players that day. A few others have not gotten back to me for confirmation but may show up as well. It will be a CASUAL game this weekend as opposed to Tournament play as I am still waiting to hear back about Ambassador status. All are welcome and encouraged to show up. In my absence please direct your questions to Garret (Tall with Dark hair and glasses) he will be there setting up arena's around 5-5:30PM. I cannot wait to hear the victory report. Good luck!

My recommendation? Don't play fair. Since Deathlock is epic do a Teleport Slingshot (Patent Pending) with a Forcehammer to break the Deathlock ASAP.

Teleport Slingshot (Patent Pending)- Teammate 1 double moves to what used to be near center and quick casts Teleport on teammate 2 spending 12 mana for maximum distance. Team mate 2 double moves from new position and is now in range to Force Hammer the opponents starting corner using their Quickcast marker. If you do not want to leave your partner behind you can immediately use the quickcast action and 12 mana to move them 4 spaces instead of double moving but it will prevent you from using Force Hammer right away.

It is for a game called Shadowrun. I would hardly call it "MY" podcast but I am a part of it. Check out http://arcologypodcast.com/ . I mainly do the actual play episodes. I am the character mysteriously also known as Maverick. An impulsive gunslinger that raises hell for the poor game master. I also did an interview on character optimization for the normal weekly episodes. We were ranking pretty high on Itunes for a while, number 12 I think? Not sure where we are at right now though.

Actually, it's nothing to do with America or non-america, as apparently I broke up a lot in this episode. 

I have to figure out what it is, as my internet connection is amazing, and I use the same headset as Aaron, but for some reason lately, i'm breaking up a lot like Max Headroom.  Sorry for that guys.

Any suggestions for a podcaster n00b is appreciated.  I currently use a Logitech Wireless Headset H600 which for everything else works perfect, but for some reason doesn't want to play nice lately with MWM.

Overall, hope everyone enjoyed the discussion with Rick and I, sans Aaron, our brother in arms

It may be the software you are using. Cheesy though it may sound we use the record feature of Teamspeak for the Shadowrun Podcast I am in. There is a great deal of editing that is done after the fact but it comes out sounding pretty smooth now that we have worked out all the kinks. May be worth looking into for you.
