Rules Discussion / Re: Armor Ward and the Corrosive Orchid
« on: January 19, 2015, 09:48:46 AM »
Thanks a lot for all your answers. Happy to read that you having the same problems deciding this specific situation as we had. So it IS possible to reveal Armor Ward and raise the cost of the disolve effect. One question remains: Is the mist token lost, if the attacker can't or won't pay the higher cost?

Rules Discussion / Armor Ward and the Corrosive Orchid
« on: January 18, 2015, 05:00:15 AM »
Hi!

I have a question about the corrosive orchid. At the the end of the "damage and effects" step of the attack, the attacker can choose if he wishes to use the mist token and destroy an equipment card.

If the enemy mage has an armor ward enchantment on him, is he allowed to reveal it AFTER the attacker chooses to use the mist token? Both the revealing of an enchantment and the use of the mist token should be at the end of the "damage & effects" step. But wich comes first? And what if the attacker can't pay the extra mana, is the mist token removed (and the mana lost?)

Transcontinental 2on2 - that would be amazing (and I'd be happy to represent the European team)!

Sorry Horst, i think what Coshade meant was a battle of our YouTube channels! :) Well, that is in the future, for now, here is the Link to our third episode. As mentioned, this one is far more "professionally" made in many aspects, altough sometimes we have an annyoing hissing sound.

We hope to add english subtitles, or at least a summary of the strategy discussion before and after the game, very soon. Enjoy.

Hey!
Just wanted to say I watched the videos and really enjoyed them! I am always looking for more people showing their videos of games. Can't wait to see more out of you guys

Maybe one of these days we can do a international 2v2 over skype or something :P Arcane Duels VS Akiros Gunst

Thanks a lot! Third episode should lauch in the next 24 hours, its a HUGE step forward in video qualiy, we involved a friend who is an professional cameraman :) I'll post the link here when it is ready.

About the Duel: I had exactly the same idea a few days ago. Well, i would say ITS ON! But we have to think about how to do that. OCTGN comes to mind, but i really prefere a real table....

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed watching the videos

In the first game, the Priestess focused on the Necromancer too early with far too little damage potential. Using Divine Intervention to rush was a terrible move as well. Teleport would have accomplished the same thing for less mana, but there was not a lot of point in attacking at that point anyway. The Priestess also would have been better off leading with the economy and didn't use the Battle Forge particularly efficiently. Overall the Necromancer had a much better game plan.

The second video was harder to follow, although the openings seemed more reasonable. Some of the followup decisions were questionable, but overall I felt like there was a bit better strategy than in the first game. The Warlock needed to do a better job of focus firing and probably should have considered playing another threat.

In terms of rules issues, Defend can't target a Skeletal Knight. It also looks like Adramelech healed from Vampirism when attacking a nonliving creature, which he shouldn't have. You may have commented those, but I don't speak German, so I couldn't tell.
Thank you for your thoughts! :-)  The first game was a very spontanious one, and my opponent didn't put much thought into his strategy, his idea was just to test the bridge troll. I agree that the second game was much better. Sadly, i had some terrible rolls (Damn you AKIRO! ;) ) So the Adramalech needed far to long to destroy the barracks. I agree that i should have played my blood reaper deamon in midgame. I tend to put far to much resources in destroying the enemys conjurations....

Of course you are right about the rule mistakes.  Its suprising how many mistakes you make in a normal game! I mentioned some of them per screen text, but we noticed others after posting the videos.

Awesome! I'm thrilled that you started these. Hope you don't mind but I'm going to link these to our site, I'm sure there's a lot of people that would like to see your episodes.
Thank you, i don't mind at all. :) I really didn't expected them to be interessting to the english speaking community! But it seems that people have fun watching the games, even when they don't understand a word we're saying... Just shows how much demand there is for more video material for this awsome boardgame!

Hello everyone!

This is only my second post here, normally i am an active member of the german Mage Wars forum at Pegasus games. After watching some episodes of the Arcane Duels  (Props to Justin, Nathan and the others, i really enjoy your work!) i decided to come up with my own channel with games, to support the (far too small) german MW Scene. It is called Akiros Gunst (Akiros Favor).I know for a fact that many german speaking people prefer this forum (wich has much more users), so maybe some of you would like to take a look! There are ony two episodes so far, but i plan to keep them coming.  So much for my advertisement! ;) I wish you all nice holydays.

Hi!

Anyone can tell me more about Akiro (The one from the Favor, the Hammer etc. ) ? Is he a god? Can't find any information about him.
