Yes it does, but hopefully the expansion gives us something new

As for the range, you are right. It would be much better if the range was 0-1.
Glad you liked it

I managed to try a certain game mode with my gaming group. I'm not sure about the overall balance of the concept, but the game became ridiculously fast after we implemented these modifications.

Mage Wars Extreme (We didn't really know what to call it LOL)

changes:
1. The quickaction token is not used (you'll see why in a few)
2. Much like creatures, the mage can use his fullaction token to move or attack (physically/weapon), but not to cast spells
3. Mages can cast as many spells/creatures as they can, provided that they can pay for it.
4. The planning phase is removed.The Mage has his spellbook and its contents ready for casting/summoning at all times

-Now, mages can run around while casting spells.

5. Mages can't cast a full action spell after moving once. So you must not move if you want to put out creatures or fullaction spells like firestorm

Optional rule

1. The quickaction marker can be used to make an incantation quick cast spell quicker. (once per turn)
ex. Mage attacks with wand. opposing mage flips quick action token to cast dissolve on wand.  

Just a random experiment. Hope you guys like it

Since sleep incapacitates a creature until they receive damage, is it possible for a mage/creature to attack a friendly creature to wake him up?

Yes, I guess we do have to consider the balance. I believe that the game needs more trap cards like this, at least to open up a new meta of gameplay. A trapper beastmaster perhaps?

This would make an awesome card. I loved that wall-hit effect. Just to add some stuff, I think flying creatures should lose the flying trait on that turn. And rolling 3 attack dice if they hit the wall would probably be awesome too.

Question 1:

Dissolve: Choose an equipment attached to "target" mage. X= equipment's casting cost. Then, destroy the equipment.

I just wanna clarify this part. Can Nullify be used to counter Dissolve even though the primary target was the equip? I'm currently under the impression that nullify can counter anything as long as the words 'target/this' are next to the words 'creature/mage. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

Question 2:

Do you flip nullify when an opponent puts a face down enchantment on a creature, or do you have to wait until they reveal it?
-If you have to wait for an enchantment to reveal itself, can nullify counter an opponent's nullify?

Please help, we really want to play this properly

I know that someone's already come up with a  Lich lord, but I'd also like to post my own ideas about a lich.

I want the lich to have a really small life (and since he is undead, having a finite life trait by default would make it better).

As for the spells, I think it would be awesome to have a mage with his OWN school of magic. This would also mean that he cannot use cards from other schools and vice versa. School of Forbidden arts may sound cheezy, but it may work for a Lich (sorry, I'm out of names here)

Some cards from his school of magic would also allow him to steal spells from his opponent's prepared cards. A good way to make up for his lack of school choices.

Just got my copy. May I say that my wife and I really love this game, and we would definitely want to see more expansions in the future.

As for spells I would love to see...

1). An absolute single creature removal card- After having a test turtle-ing  battle with my wife, there came a time when the board was just filled with creatures (and having spells under them increased the clutter). Neither mages want to move closer because some creatures have sweeping attacks in addition to the volume of creatures in the center zone. I think having an absolute creature removal card would be nice. Making it a level 4 card would also help, so players wont be able to spam them (provided that it cant be attached to any wand). I believe that it would quicken the pace per game. As for a spell name.... Execution?

2). A global removal card- This concept would be interesting for solo builds. Allowing players to wipe the board completely of any object except for the mages. A last resort if you will. I'm thinking... a level 6 legendary epic fire spell... Apocalypse?

3). (this may be a long shot but.... here goes) Blink/Flash Step- you can only use your quickcast token to use this card. Move your mage 1 zone away. (this would be 0 to cast).
-Since I've seen a lot of turtle strategies, allowing attackers to maneuver and cast a full action spell would be nice. Once again, I believe that cards like this would make bouts quicker.
