Sailor yes they can, but those spells are incantations, i specifically was talking about enchantments. I believe i even said so in your qouted section

Thematically tho, shouldnt the storm drake have the same protection granted by its armor? It needs that effect modifier i think. How else could we kill one and make armor out of it and receive that bonus for ourselves?  Lol

I wouldn't be about that. It definitely tips the scales too much. With 20 mana no mater where the enemy tries to run to nothing can stop immediate attacks. Just by the math r1 is 14 dice, folowed by 14 more? In fact this will widen the gap between 10 chanel and 9 chanel mages. Cuz a 10 channel can throw 2 boulders r1 AND r2. A 9 chanel mage cant. Not a fan.

I will say this. Do not underestimate tanglevine. Much less force hold. A tanglevine will guarentee a single reaction probably 2 even from that many dice. Even as a pet it only rolls 6 dice against that vine and if you have to attack it twice it was already worth it.  They are mean for sure but they are slow and can't trample and attack without becoming fast.

I wonder if this concept wouldn't be done better (or at least more efficiently) with a warlord. A helmet with charge on it could do a similar thing, and they could also run cheetah speed considering the sp savings on the double titanodon.

I really think the same strat might shine in a new light if you did it wth a warlock or a necromancer. Hear me out, thats a crazy high mana cost right? But if you rise again or reanimate it its only half cost. So even if you do eventually get both out at once you could potentially get 4X the use out of em. Still not sold? Well how about this! Once they are zombies, Zombie frenzy applies! So what? Not with it you say? Well zombie frenzy is currently the only way i know of to REMOVE the slow trait and replace it with fast. So now your zombie elephants are faster, and meaner than they ever were before and they can sprint the full 2 zones and attack for more dice. Possibly trampling an uninjured creature on the way. I know its rediculous, but damn that would be priceless.

Lol biblo that's 32 mana. That's a lot

I kinda agree with Zot here. Even in my mtg days i used to hate it when someone borrowed one of my decks and then beat me with it. I get that the shared books here are usually about getting feedback and looking for tweaks to make it better, and most of the edits and finished products don't make it to the boards.
I can see the draw if a sort of plug and play variety where you can just grab a book and go,  but literally half of the game is in the book building. If you can't make one yourself you can't win. I imagine its a bit like what am actual mage might be like with his own crafted arena strategies. Jealously guarded I'm sure.

Ok sailor. You gotta stop dude. Please stop taking to our forum, provided by AW, for us to discuss out favorite game, and take what seems like a monthly shit on the damn company. You've told us they should sell it, change its medium, reevaluate it from the ground up. You use phrases like bungled, indicating that if YOU were at the helm these silly little drawbacks wouldn't be happening on your watch! AW is like 3 people. Please let them run the game the way they see fit. Stop chicken littleing here every other month saying the sky is falling. Posts like this one are fine once in a blue moon ir if there is an actual problem to be figured out. But these doom amd gloom messages twice a month are gonna actually curtail folks who might visit these forums from joining us in our favorite game.

I very much get that you are passionate about this. But come on sailor quit shaking the damn "the game is over/ sucks/is failing monkey tree please? If only so i dont have to come reassure you and everybody that the game is fine just be patient?
End rant
