Open with Hand of Bim-Shalla and Battle Forge. The BF deploys the discount ring on turn 2 while the Hand protects the FM with armor. Turn 2 cast Galvitar with the ring's discount and enchant self (any of several enchants may be useful). Deploy armor on turn 3 just before going to find something to slice to bits. There are plenty of ways to handle guards, so it is not too hard to target the mage. The normal Healing option is Vampirism with Regrowth as a secondary option.

The Thoughtspores normally get Minor Healing and Surging Wave, but many other spells can replace the Minor Heal. Sometimes one spore is brought out early with a slower opening, but both usually get cast after the BF is either out of range of the FM, or has been destroyed.

There are a variety of position control spells, which is important to the strategy, since the FM wants to be melee attacking the enemy mage as often as possible. Most enemy creatures are pulled / pushed / teleported out of the zone where the enemy mage is to open him up for attack.

Invisible Fists can do a lot of damage in addition to a strike or two with Galvitar, especially with Hawkeye. They also get the force discount from the ring.

Good point DaveW, you could always send me a secondary book and then after gen con change the book out if you'd like.

Also to everyone else I bumped up the original post about the rules and structure of the library. thanks

here is an update this book has been preforming really well. I have about 20 or so games with it since i last posted about it. it defends well against rush and in a timed format can out value opponents. in a non timed format it can be out lasted if properly played against. its no where near perfect yet so feel free to dissect it and tell me what you think  

These are pretty cool journals wonder if they would make one with the sleeve pages instead of paper?

iNano78: that was a perfect explanation, much better than I could ever give

If there is a timing issue then the player with initiative decides, this means if a creature has 2 effects controlled by different players then the player with initiative decides what happens first.

Incorrect, imo.
A creature that regenerates ( owning player effect ) and that will take damage from an Idol ( opposing player effect ) can choose the order it which it resolves both effects. Normally Regenerate first, then take 1 damage.
The owner of the idol has no say in this, no matter who has initiative.

in the example of ghoul rot or death link vs regenerate, since the effects are controlled by different players, the player with initiative decides in what order they take place.

Again incorrect, imo.

A creature that regenerates ( owning player effect ) and that will take damage from a Ghoul Rot ( opposing player effect ) is the same example as above.

Death Link and Regenerate is different.
In the examples above we're always talking about two effects on 1 creature.

In case of Death Link and Regenerate we're essentially talking about 1 effect on two creatures.
The controller of Death Link can heal and deal damage and the controller of the Regenerator can regenerate.
In this case it's the player with initiative who can resolve his effect first.
So, if the player that controls the Death Link has initiative it is possible to kill the creature before it gets a chance to regenerate.

i did a bad job of explaining it but i agree with you, and in my last part i meant to only say deathlink.
