Is this supposed to be showing up at our retailers now, or was origins just an early release and our retailers still won't be getting it for a while?

As long as it keeps selling Bryan will keep coming up with new mages. In fact I know of 4 that are not on that list.

so just looking at the list of mages, I noticed its an odd number.  Being that it seems mages are released in pairs we need 1 more mage on that list-

just as an example

druid/necro
illusionist/Sorcerer
Paladin / ??

who is it?

I think this is better. I think it will be another dark magic user to be pair with a Paladin.

I wasnt really trying to guess, I was just showing the fact that we need to know 1 more mage!

So do we know any details of the life span for Mage Wars?  What I mean is, do we already know of all the mages that are going to ever be released, or does Arcane Wonders have plans to keep making more mages as long as the game is popular.   

 

TL. DR
Will Mage Wars stop having new mages at some point and just have new cards/ Variants of the current mages?

I think if magic was real, war is the FIRST thing we humans would use it for.  

haha I agree with this, and thats kind of my point, I can see War school on a battlefield cause it helps out soldiers but not able to see it much for an arena match.

I like to think of the war school as a sort of "Charm" magic. Basically it can be used to inspire units to greater heights than they could have accomplished without some kind of magical influence. I would agree with you if there weren't some supernatural feeling spells that fit in the war school but a spell like Battle Fury definitely gives me the feeling of what I'm talking about.

As to your bashing comment, it didn't sound like you're bashing to me - I think it's totally valid to call into question the 'vibe' of spells as the creators have obviously gone through so much effort to make sure everything FEELS right. So I'm sure they're interested in this kind of input.

i can see a mage doing what you describe and having it be done as magic, however, it seems more appropriate for a battlefield and less so for an arena match.

  When i imagine a mage using the war school as his main school, i dont picture that he is summoning or conjuring goblins or dwarves or what have you into the arena, rather they just walk in with him and he can make them stronger, which again doesnt seem fitting for an arena fight.

I just wanted to talk about the " War" school of magic and get opinions on how this fits in thematically for a mage.  As an example, if the Warlord didnt have earth as one of his schools, i couldnt really see him as a mage, more as just a General.

My thinking is like , if i were to ask someone to create a mage and to choose his school of magic that seems realistic for a mage, i just dont think war would be said.

A mage in my eyes isnt someone that just tells soldiers and what not what to do or someone that forges gear.

 I dont know, maybe im missing something, i would like to hear others thoughts on this school.

(as a side note, i love this game and this thread is not to bash the game. just for discussion.)

just a question to see if we know yet, is frost going to be its own school or is it just going to be classified as water.

i imagine water because frost isnt listed as a school. and probably similar to how lightning is classified as air

when can we buy more spell books, and  is there a list anywhere that shows what u get if u buy the additional cards box
