Just curious, but when you release a true poison school or ice or anything outside of the initial 4 elements will the Wizard be able to specialize in those?

Oh I think I misread it. I thought he meant his store GOT the game last Saturday and he was waiting to pick it up.

Now I'm REALLY bummed about not going to GenCon. I love having signed cards for my games. Granted I've only had 2 cards signed prior but with all those artists in one place...

I'd rather see original spells than rehashes of MTG cards.

Can you use the golden colored defenses to avoid an attack spell? I would assume yes, since it says attack spells follow the 3 steps of casting a spell and THEN the 8 steps of attacking, but it would seem kind of cheesy to think you could just jump or dodge a huge honking Fireball!

I saw one thing that I thought was contradictory. In the introduction it says that quickcast actions (The MW button) cannot be used for attacks. Then, in the walkthrough, the warlock uses a quickcast action to cast Fireball which is an attack. Does the introduction sentence apply only to ranged/melee attacks? So is he allowed to use Fireball because it's a spell or am I defining attack too loosely?

What would be the best way to jerry-rig a 4 player game out of the contents of one box? I plan on getting a dowel of appropriate diameter and making all the control markers. I can just photocopy the player boards, but I'm kind of stuck on the game board and spell books. Any ideas?
