Yes, I understand.
However, I have to ask from the design point of view:
1. Is it ok?
2. Has anyone actually playtested it? Because I suspect that no one did.
For 12 mana I can potentially cast 2 Stone Skins on the opponents Creatures. If I move after the enemy Mage there is a high chance that he or she has low mana and now additionally 2 useless Creatures which cost him 8 mana to upkeep. The game is done at this point and its possible and plausible to end the game even in the 2nd round.
So I think I'm gonna play with freely ending the spells rule. I encourage people to try and test this Stone Skin strategy and see if it checks out?
EDIT: Unless it's the Stone Skins caster who must pay the upkeep. In that case - did I read the rules wrong?
