Thanks for doing these, reddawn.  My buddy who I mainly play MW with has been playing Magic for 15 years and eats up all the game theory articles on this site.  I've read and enjoy them, but have trouble translating them into practical action on the game board.  I appreciate the straight up strategy advice.  Keep it up!

Rules Discussion / Passage Attack and Push
« on: June 24, 2013, 11:03:29 PM »
My buddy and I are having a disagreement about this:  I cast Jet Stream on his Mage and rolled an 11, allowing me to push him.  I opted to push him through an adjacent wall of thorns (he had no armor :).  He claims I needed to pay an additional 3 to push him through a wall with the "passage attack" trait.  I think you only need to do that when you're playing a card that specifies extra payment (Force Push, for example).  Which of us is correct?

Strategy and Tactics / I seem to be awful. A little help here? :)

I'm at about 30 games played and won 7 so far. All with priestess, all with Hands and ToL. But I CAN'T win with any other mage or any other strategy. This is hands down my favorite game, but it kinda sucks that I'm only successful with one strategy.

I think I'm too reactionary, which doesn't matter so much when you're turtleing, but awful when you're trying to be aggressive. I need help, and I'm reaching you to you, the MW community to give me some pointers.

I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on all aspects of the game, but in these areas in particular:

Strong opening turns.
Dealing with enemies that heavily rely on teleport (generally to plant me on a big baddy)
Gaining tempo advantage.
Disrupting enemy strategy.
How to most effectively capitalize on initiative.

(I've been using Forcemaster most recently, but thoughts on ANY mage would be nice)

Like so many cards, I find IS to be perfect in certain situations.  Against enemy decks with low counts of zone effecting cards.  In my circles, a number of popular priestess builds have had a hard time coming up with a reliable counter to IS.  But Wizards have walked all over him.
