Wish coshade and pudding could have been given ok to do a preshow, super excited
I had not even heard talk of necro or monk, just druid and elementalist, hmmm is any there at gencon to confirm?
how do we get promos?
But it was a really fun match. This book has undergone some serious changes since I used it on the video. I toyed around with adding either [mwcard=MW1J19]Deathlock[/mwcard] or [mwcard=MW1E31]Poisoned Blood[/mwcard] to prevent healing, but the biggest change was actually switching over to the Beastmaster instead of the Druid, which caused a revamp of the entire book. As others pointed out, the offensive benefits a Beastmaster provides with his Pet ability and access to some Beastmaster only cards (Packleader's Cowl in particular) outweigh the Druid's advantage defensively. 100% agreed. You'll never experience customer service this good.
I didn't think the Vine tree mana could be used for placing the extra vine marker. I always played that mana had to come from the Druid's supply. This was due to the Spawnpoints rules.
**spoiler ahead**
When second wolf died, i was somewhat looking for a third one. Transfering them all to a druid was still ok, but i feel that her kamikaze move will not get rewarded. 4th part is still not out but i have an omnious feeling, for which player is coming winter
Harmonize on Fellella is kind of wasted, because if you skip one round of enchanting the mana will stockpile on her without the chance to ever use it.
The Druid could have been at least 2 rounds faster, and hit harder as a Beastmaster. Yes, the Druid has more defensive wiggle room, but you want to go on the offensive if your opponent is playing a stronger economy than you. Spamming enchantments can let you do a reasonable amount of damage, but eventually an opponent that has 5 times as many creatures as you will overwhelm you.
You spent too much on playing every conceivably useful enchantment when you could have had another creature up with similar enhancements and another backup creature in case one of those got killed instead. You put too much emphasis on that one threat at a time, which made it much easier to deal with. Your opponent was able to keep pace with you by just casting a healing spell every round, which means you weren't getting to the point of dealing enough damage, although a Poison Blood would help.
Why play Harmonize on Fellella? That just makes her a more tempting target, and it's not that more efficient than other economy options.
I like this as an opening better:
Turn 1 (19): Fellelle, Pixe Familiar -> Enchanter's Ring (5)
Turn 2 (14): Pet Timber Wolf -> FD Enchantment -> FD Enchantment (0)
The Timber Wolf gets stronger faster, you can use Joined Strength, and the option to use Vampirism + Packleader's Cowl makes it much harder for your opponent to win a direct engagement.
The way you were playing, it would have been better to put Teleport on a Mage Wand and Teleport the Timber Wolf out immediately after attacking each round. That way it wouldn't have gotten overwhelmed, and you could have tried to force your opponent to move out, where your vine markers could have come into play more meaningfully.
Quick question. Why'd LoW choose Druid for his build? He could use basically the same strategy but better with straywood beast master, using only one wolf (and petting it too) along with fellela and transfusing enchantments to the Mage rather than another wolf when the wolf dies. He'd get a lot more dice in that way, and his opening wouldn't be so slow. He doesn't need the tree on because the beastmaster has regrowth belt, and he can deal with deathlock and poisoned blood easily enough with force hammers or purify, not to mention the battering ram promo. And the extra life from the tree bond isn't necessary because the straywood beastmaster already starts with 36 life.
Mr. Bryan Pope, also known as Toxziq, is at Essen this year, I think he's at the Pegasus Spiele booth? Pegasus is the Mage Wars distributor in Germany.
Or about how to play the warlord.
