Rules mistakes don't happen every game.

Note that I was replying to adanaz who said he hasn't yet played a game without making any rules mistakes. I haven't either. It's definitely encouraging that you have!

Here's a little challenge: Point me to a YouTube video of a match where no rules mistakes have been made!



P.S.: I realize that I may sound often overly harsh, but in fact, I really enjoy playing Mage Wars. However, it doesn't make sense to ignore the weak points of the game. As enthusiastic fans, we have a tendency to wear rose-coloured glasses when looking at our favorite games.
But any (perceived) weaknesses of the game should be pointed out and discussed, especially here in this forum.  I think Arcane Wonders have shown that they care and react to criticism to make Mage Wars a better game.
It's good, though, that you're pointing out that Mage Wars is still a young game compared to the ones I mentioned. That, and Arcane Wonders is quite a small company, so there's only so much that can be done in the short term.

MtG also went through a major overhaul at some point to get rid of superfluous keywords and streamlined their rules. They also started to release simplified starter packs at some point to make it easier to get into the game. Of course WotC had a big advantage over Arcane Wonders: Almost limitless resources.

But if Mage Wars is to survive the next decade and escape from being very niche, it will need to go through a similar process. Despite my personal dislike of the Acadamy set(s), their release is a necessary step in that direction, and I definitely hope they'll be a big hit and attract a lot more players.

I haven't played a single game of Mage Wars where either myself or my opponent haven't made some kind of mistake or another.  [...]  This is one of the features that makes Mage Wars such an amazing game to play;

Umm, yeah. To be honest, a different conclusion came to my mind...

I'm not sure how much difference there could be between the current Necromancer and a Lich mage.

I think, I posted this before somewhere, anyway, I'd like to see a Necromancer specializing in Ghosts, i.e. Incorporeal dead. She should be less agressive and focus on 'quality over quantity', i.e. she should have a few powerful ghost allies that support her in different ways, e.g. casting spells for her or gathering information.

That would be a lot closer to the original meaning of 'necromancy' (summoning and communicating with spirits of the dead) than what has been made popular by video and rpg games.

So if you have no intention of playing dominion(or vtar spells), and already have all those now-legal promos, there are 5 new spells.

Good thing, then, I don't have any promo cards, yet 

I'd just like to note that it makes me unhappy to see more exclusive promo cards (yeah, I'm a party pooper, I know...).

The only card I'm aware of which does this at the moment is [mwcard=MWSTX2FFA01]Devil's Trident[/mwcard].  If you know of more, please let me know so I can try to work around it.

I was thinking of [mwcard=MW1J24]Temple of Light[/mwcard].

But I remember that I read somewhere that frost will be coming with Paladin vs. Siren.

Yup, in the speculation/wishlist thread about the expansion 

It boggles the mind why Arcane Wonders chose to include spells with keywords in the core set that are completely irrelevant for years to come! Imho, Frost spells should have been included in the 'Conquest of Kumanjaro' expansion. Even a single Frost spell would have made a difference.
