Yeah, take out two bows, add two nullifies.  it would free up a lot of points.  I doubt a Mage with a standard 3 dissolves would waste all of them on a single piece. 

I want try this spellbook when I get the FvW expansion in August.  It seems really nasty.    Would you say it could hold its own in a battle of attrition against a zombie swarm necromancer?  We are trying to find a way to beat one of those without doing an all-in at the start.

Flyers are tough, yes.  This is why the build now has another maim winged, and another acid ball.  I may eventually take one acid ball back out, ad replace it with a more substantial attack.

OK, just finished a game, with my opponent as a Warlock.  I lost, but only by luck - my Zombie Hulk whiffed, only landing 3 hits with 6 dice on a 2 armor warlock, and then my venomous zombie failed to land two hits, including taint.  I had a lot of fun, I played just like I intended, and the book performed really well.  I have a concern, though.  Zombie Frenzy seems to be bit overpowered.

Essentially, the first time I played it, I reduced his Mage from full life to almost half life with my zombies.  A few turns later, he has escaped, with only about 25% of his life left.  Now, he has to hide in the corner.  So I summon a Mage Wand, and bind the second frenzy to it.  Now I can do it every turn, and he can't do a damn thing.  And why can't he do a damn thing?  Because of the first frenzy!  Now, granted, I had to wait until the endgame to do it, and he had no idea of that card before the first one was played.  But it still seems somewhat OP, as it essentially takes away the only bad thing about zombies - their slowness.  It seems that only two things can beat the necromancer, rushes and flyers.  I lost because of LoF.  If I add another maim wings, that's no longer a problem.  Now, only rushing can beat him.  Is there any other way? 

EDIT:  I actually won.  We just realized I had a block on my mage, which was played nearly an hour earlier anticipating an attack that would never come.

Aren't wizards a tough match for everybody?  I'll be fine, I'm playing mostly against the Warlock, and the wizard player is new.

So, how do you guys think this spellbook will perform?  I'm playing at least two games with it tomorrow, so I am quickly going to find out whether or not I will continue to use this Spellbook.

Thank you for the reply silverclawgrizzly!

You fiend!   How do skeletons work for you?  Do you include a lot of the weaker minions, or do you stick to the more hardy units?  And how do you keep the damn things alive?

I'll see to it once and if I can free up some points.

The deal with PGC was that I was going to use it it conjunction with the crawlers in my necro's zone, to make up for the relative lack of armor in this build.  If I don't need it for defense, against say, a super heavy turtling priestess, I'll try to place a bone wall behind a creature and a PGC in their zone.  Essentially what you suggested, but without changing the book.  If I find the room for it, I'll put Tanglevine in.  In fact, it only barely got cut form the book.  I've had great success already with that card, and it's  a shame I have to leave it out.  I may replace IoP or Deathlock with some Tanglevine, because 5 zone exclusives aren't exactly easy to all get out at once. 

I may add them, but I don't think I would with Tanglevine.  One or the other.  They both have their uses, and while Teleport Trap is more versatile, Tanglevine does what it does very well, much better than TT.

He's my favorite mage so far, I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

I know, I know.  Poison EVERYTHING!
