This book uses Fellella and casts many disruptive and defensive enchantments to basically try to cancel anything my opponent does. Since the enchantments are relatively cheap to reveal I should be able to bank enough mana to keep a steady stream of attack spells going with maybe a double Hurl Boulder turn in the mid game somewhere. It focuses on the mage and kills with attack spells ala the Rushmaster but maybe is a bit more stable since it has many protective cards. Ir packs a variety of elemental spells so I can use whatever is most effective. Intercepting guards will be gotten around with Force Pushes and Sniper Shots.

2 Tanglevine

Creature
2 Fellella

Akiro's Favor
6 Block
4 Brace Yourself
Decoy
2 Fumble
Harmonize
Hawkeye
4 Jinx

Equipment
Enchanter's Ring
Elemental Wand
Ivarium Longbow

Incantations
2 Dispel
2 Dissolve
2 Force Push

Teleport

The plan is Turn 1: (19) Fellella + Harmonize
Turn 2: (12) Fellella uses her 2 to drop a Block or Brace yourself on herself. I double Mana Flower.
Turn 3: (13) Fellella drops something on me. I either tool up one more turn (Enchanter's Ring + Hawkeye or Akiro's). Or start attacking as needed. I'll probably be spending my quickcast almost every turn to drop a second enchantment on myself Fellella or the enemy Mage. Already Looking at the list I want 2 more Jinxes. Not sure what to lose for them though.

Thoughts criticism advice or complaints are always welcome. Cheers!

 

Maybe there should be some kind of limited tourney format where wizard or just wizard's tower are not allowed? We don't allow wizards in our playgroup and I really think the game is fairer and more fun that way.

Thanks for the reply! The reason for selecting Forcemaster as opposed to Wizard is twofold
1) We generally don't play Wizards in our meta as we consider them overpowered
2) Forcefield. If I can keep my opponent with few or no creatures who can attack me effectively forcefield makes me nigh invilnerable. Meanwhile I am striking for 7 dice pierce 2 each action.
By controlling creatures I don't necessarily mean just mind control. I mean rendering them either unable to threaten me (charm or force crush or positional control) or so costly to my opponent that keeping them around prohibits him from threatening me in other ways (essence drain orb obelisk). Mind Control is so costly and necromancers see some play around here so having 2 seems really risky. Another charm might be really nice though.
I expect orb and obelisk will be destroyed and siphon too but time my opponent spends doing this is time I can use to build up to my desired end state. Stalker I would probably only ever summon after orb and obelisk are down so I don't end up eating my own upkeep boosters. Thoughtspores seem like too much work to keep alive. Sleep is an excellent suggestion. I definitely should try to get one or two in.
Thanks again

I think this is a problem with the game in general. It's a super effective strategy to just undo every enchantment and equipment your opponent casts (ala blasting banker and watergate wizard) and no mage can do this as effectively as the wizard with cheap enchantment removal and mage wands. It's not just the Wizard though. Most spellbooks pack 3 or 4 dispels and dissolves and acid balls. Dispel/dissolve wars is quite a boring game and much flavor of individual mages is lost when they can't keep any of their unique stuff on the board. But maybe this is a topic for another thread.

Thanks for posting guys. These are very entertaining.

This is a tough matchup for the Bloodwave Warlord. Walls plus pushing/snatching is a very efficient way to deal damage and the Druid does it extremely well. You really want lots of Teleport against this book and Warlords commonly run 0-1. At least the Anvil Throne has the Tough to help avoid being snatched. I think use of Garrison Posts might have been helpful. It really hurt you having your creatures able to be snatched immediately upon deployment. Of course the Druid can set up another Zone of Death next to your Post but then at least his initial summons aren't doing him as much good.

I really think putting on some armor would have been helpful for the Warlord once in the Zone of Death. Attacks in the Zone of Death should have all been focused on the Thornlashers since they are what prevent you from moving away. I wouldn't waste attacks on the walls or caltrops as they are so cheaply replaced.

There were a couple of turns where the Vine Tree was vulnerable to Conquer.  If you run Force Push (you probably should) you could do it without giving the Druid a chance to respond. Activate Mage QC Force Push the Panzergarde into the Tree Zone, move into the Tree Zone, Conquer the Tree. This might have helped or maybe the game was out of reach by the time this play was possible, In general the Vine Tree/Vinewhip staff needs to be dealt with quickly. You really can't allow the Druid to put down 3 vines per turn. Either the tree needs to be killed or the staff Dissolved ASAP or preferably both. I know easier said than done...

There was one turn when a Vine Snapper was guarding but did not take it's counterstrike. It would have meant the Orc Butcher died one action sooner. Didn't really matter much as the match was not really close. In fact I think the Druid could have ended the match much sooner by just focusing attacks on the Warlord and not bothering to kill his soldiers.

Well excellent job guys. Thanks for taking the time to put these up.

Another employee means you can produce more expansions quicker, right? I want to give you my money!

Solid book and gameplan. Looks fun!
