Trying something a bit more focused. Ranged attacks through the plant walls, lots of minions and marked for death for tough creatures. I don't know... I think I'm still on the level of "this could be fun to play" rather than being the most effective

Just updated with a few changes. Removed the harmonize. I was looking for some cards to make my skeletons tougher through armor or something, but the options are really expensive. I seem to recall some card that gave armor to a whole zone, but just can't remember what it was or if it had another effect.

Don't have time to fully look these over but I will. One thing I'll point out: Malacoda isn't a zombie. He's a demon and he's Living. Now he's immune to all your poison stuff obviously but he could be buffed if you ever decide to put some Nature Enchantments like Cheetah Speed in your book.

Oh... NICE... That really opens up for some other interresting stuff involving him. Thanks for pointing that out

Oh yeah... of course. I am thinking I want to put some skeletons in his face, using the plague zombie with the sacrificial altar (as an eternal servant, so I can re-animate it) - this also works well with the graveyard right? 6 cheap skeletons to throw at him, while getting some of the more expensive creatures. I want to keep my mage at range and use the wand for the incantations if need be. Using the gass cloud as a base of operations for the archers. I have four walls which may be overkill, but I like walls and they're cheap. I included the huge zombie creature (Malacoda) because I just think it seems really good. I was toying with the idea of reanimate in the wand and make Shaggoth eat the cheap reanimates.

Death link was a way to heal my mage, by linking him to a skeleton, because I can heal those.

Harmonize is for the libro

To be honest my vision of this spellbook is sketchy at best. I have only played a single game yesterday with my wife, but thoughts and some more or less tangible ideas emerged in my mind as I played with the creator. I don't think I have a clear strategy yet, but I have ideas.

I was thinking about getting the ring of death and libro first round, but to be honest I'll have to play more before I have any idea about an exact plan for the first three rounds.I don't know exactly why I included rouse the beast, but think it was sort of an emergency card, if I really needed a creature to act right away.


I was going for some kind of synergy, being able to keep creatures in play and my mage out of harms way. Some cheap skeletons and the ability to make one slightly more powerful attack each round because if the altar.

My latest revision. Just tried to shave a bit off here and there is make it conform somewhat to the sketch if a strategy idea I have:

Just trying out the builder and trying to make something.... yeah well. I have no idea if this will work to be honest.

It never came into play, but after the guy with 4 growth markers chewed through my wifes trees, she was shocked that he could be revied. Good balance, cheers :-)

If you have that zombie guy who can get growth markers, by eating zombies - do you discard or keep the growth markers when he is destroyed and reanimated, if he's an eternal servant?
