Well it's  more about having options.  For example, I use Mhegeddon against Priestess and Wizard, and if go first in a mirror match, but I'd never use him against a BM, because Asps.  I'd use the Afflicted Demon instead.  A swarm of cheaper demons did more work for me against the BM, rather than bringing out heavy hitters.

I didn't know what tabletopia was until you mentioned it. I might try it if I can convince my MW buddy to buy into it.  We both agree that this game is best played digital.  We like the game and all but the board can get so cluttered...

A typical starting opening for us is to Mhegeddon into Vampiress into Sanguine Hunter, with Demonic Link on Vampiress.  Put the 2 damage either on yourself or Vampiress, depending on the game state.  Sanguines and Vampiress are probably your best units.  Get the Eye out as soon as you can, you'll need the mana.

Don't bring out Mhegeddon vs the Beastmaster, though.  He'll just summon a bunch of asps, boost them with Badger Frenzy, and turn Mhgeddon into a teddy bear.  And if you don't bring him out first turn, you might as well not bring him out at all.  You'll have to take a different route for that (the Demon that can toss weaken tokens would be a good choice if facing Asps).

Siphon Life is good to damage/kill anything with a built in Def, since they can't defend against it, and armor doesn't protect from it.  I'd take out a Crumble (if you're running them) for 1 Curse Item; I hate using full actions to take out something that was cast as a quick.

Theft of Life can be useful on Ehren to try to slow down the healing, but it's really good against the BM's Regen Belt.  Curse of Decay is usually too slow by itself, needs to be supplemented with something, maybe burns.  I'll edit the post when I think of more tips.

I would love so much if this game took off around here.  I want to start promoting it weekly. If even only 3 or 4 people pick it up I'll be happy.  Have any of you tried to demo games before? Any tips about what or what not to do?

Can Disperse be used to destroy facedown enchantments?

Is the Priestess considered a Holy Creature?

I got 2 hell stars in my warlock pack.

Which curse item are you talking about?

So what's big now?  Just came across all the Wizard errata stuff, glad that was finally dealt with.  Are there any Mages that stand out as being too unreliable to use? Which ones are viewed as being perhaps a little too powerful these days?  Are people looking forward to Paladin vs Siren?

Lastly, is it possible to get the most updated printing of the core Rulebook somewhere?  I'll settle for pdf.
