I really don’t know how to deal with my opponent’s Battle Forge.

You can (mostly) remove it with two Surging Waves. But you have to spend 10 Mana and 2 Actions on it, whereas your Opponent only spent 8 Mana and 1 Action. He also generated at least 1 Mana and 1 Action with it, so you're always on the losing side...

Of course destroying your opponents whole strategy is very strong. But you have to change your own opening Strategie as well by doing it. So it never feels too strong to me.

I started to not include any surging waves in some of my spellbooks and just try to ignore the Battle Forge. By the time I can destroy it without disturbing my own opening, my opponent already used it about 3 times. So he already has his most important stuff equipped.

When I plan on destroying a Battle Forge I never know if I want to prepare 2 Surging Waves in the same turn. The sooner you destroy it the better, but if the first wave already kills it you waste an action. I don't like to do this in the early game. If you only prepare one and the other one next turn, you give your opponent another mana and action of it. Not too good either.

How do you deal with your opponent’s Battle Forge?

Thanks @ all 

That makes Lion Savagery a perfect enchantment for Corazin. If your target is in the same Zone, you get Piercing +1 for both attacks. If you have to move a zone first, you get a nice charge bonus 

I doubt Gorgon Archer can use [mwcard=FWJ02]Aarcher's Watchtower[/mwcard].

Yes you are right. I forgot that soldier tag.

That's a really good reason for Eagle Wings ;-)

The strategie is to get your opponents Armor to 0 and Force Push him through a Wall of Thorns. The Force Pull ability combined with Teleport Traps and Enfeeble always keeps the opponent mage in range for a this “Attack”.

The Cards in this Spellbook can be sorted in 3 Types:
Staying Alive (Armor, Sleep, Agony, Electrify, Block and the Eaglyclaw Boots to not get pushed yourself)
Reduce your Opponents Armor (Acid Ball, Dissolve, Dispell, Disarm, Rust)
Push your Opponent (Force Push, Mage Wand, Force Bash, Force Wave and Jet Stream)

I added a Forcehammer as a Finisher because of the lower Spellbook Costs.

Opening
Round 1: 20 Mana
Move towards your opponent and cast the Battle Forge (12). If you do not Think that your opponent is going to move towards you, you can make 2 Move Actions. If not you can cast a Rhino Hide (10) on yourself.

Round 2: 20 Mana
Battleforge: Leather Gloves (19),
Gorgon Archer (3),
Hawkeye (1) on your Gorgon Archer

If your Opponent plays a Swarm Tactic, the Archer can kill his small creatures. If he is playing a big Creature the Archer can put some Weak Conditions on it and make it useless.

In Round 3 I want to play a Thoughtspore with Force Push or Acid Ball, so I can get rid of my opponents Armor and Push him in the same Turn.

If you know that your opponent wants to play one big creature you can play a Thoughtspore (with Force Push) instead of the Archer. Agony deals with a big creature as well and you can start Pushing your Opponent around.


I played this Deck twice so far and won both games. Since neither me nor my opponent are very experienced players I wanted to ask you what you think of this Idea?
