That thar's a purty flower.  A one-time dissolve with a regular corrode attack?  I'll take it. 

Weird that it's a 2 over the 3 for the Lotus.  If I took the Pepsi Challenge, I'd assume those levels were reversed...

So what do we think of the Nightshade Lotus -- a bit expensive at Level 3 for a single attack.  You spend 7 mana for an unavoidable, no effect 3 damage (which is worse than pretty much every other attack spell) and then pay additional mana for Sleep at a slight (or somewhat more than slight if high-level target) discount...  Is the action economy (attack + a really good effect in sleep) worth the level?  I don't know. 

That said, I'm not entirely sure if it's a single attack.  It doesn't have the once per round wording that most conjurations that attack repeatedly do (wizard's tower, tower of light, etc.), BUT if it is NOT a repeat attacker and we're just talking a single attack like Tanglevine, why does it have hps if it's not doing anything after it drops the attack?  For Druid plant/vine synergy?

Help? 

It definitely feels like he needs some more War Mage Only / Warlord Only cards, if only to keep the otherwise superior Wizard from stealing anything else he might get.  If the Warlord got an exclusive soldier equivalent of the Iron Golem -- a non-legendary, awesome soldier at a reasonable casting cost -- that might push more interest.  It really is hard to argue that he does anything that an Earth Wizard doesn't largely do better.

Any thoughts on the Grey Wraith featured on the FB page currently?  Weak on 5+ is nice.

"3 Teleports? Yes please. I would try to fit the 4th if our meta rules allowed it."

Just to clarify, is there something in the rules that prohibits a 4th?  Or are you just talking about the prohibitive cost?

I honestly don't know.  On the one hand, the text says "immediately", which leads me to believe that since the teleport is what actually takes place *immediately* after the move, the attack that follows the teleport, as opposed to the creature's movement, is no longer a charge.

On the other hand, the next action the monster is taking after the move is the attack.  One can fairly argue that the "immediately" refers to actions over which the moving player has control.

Love to hear an official answer on this.

I think this is a really useful conversation to have.  While, obviously, when playing for fun with friends, I'll end up experimenting with cards quite a bit regardless of efficiency, it has been a bit jarring to note that the tournament decks I've seen listed here seem to have a lot of commonalities.  I'm sure this will even out a bit as more sets are released and certain cards and strategies have their counters released as well, but it's worth taking a look at the thinking behind these repetitions even if their efficiency is theoretically going to be cut down in the long term. 

Me, I just hope a card's released that makes me want to pay the terrible costs for Gate to Hell.  What a great idea for a card that just doesn't seem like it'll ever find its way onto the table for me.

Also awesome will be the way Necro will almost certainly have synergy with a number of Dark cards that haven't seen as much play thus far (at least from what I've read).  Malacoda and other Poison damage sources that focus on the living will be really strong in a Necro book that has almost no living creatures in it.
