I am not Intangible nor Coshade, i am just a guy who stumble over this card on the internet



Wished Arcane Duels had this card for spoilering. There is so much about it!

1) Fist Mind creature in a very long time
2) New Subtype - MONK
3) Flavour text mentioned Sem Ki, which is also on [mwcard=DNQ10]Meditation Amulet[/mwcard]. I am more and more curious if Monks are under Bim-Shalla
4) "Mana Crystal" for Holy or Mind mages

Here is the situation.

Player A, casted mana Siphoon.
Player B revelead Divine Intervention during casting steps and teleport himself out of reach.

Is now Player A forced to choose himself as a terget?

I would say no, and that there is standing a Mana Siphoon without purpouse but i would like to have it official or at least Zuberized

A new episode of lets level up is up : http://www.letslevelup.net/?p=786

I will listen to it on my way home (16:39 here )

Well, it is a very small picture but one can say:

1. Alternative Bear Strength (YAY!!!)
2. Armor
3. Cougar?
4. Attack

Opening

1. Rnd (19 mana) I move into lowest center and cast Barracks (12 mana) left lowest corner and Construction Yard (7 mana) right lowest corner.
2. Rnd (9 mana + 2 barracks + 1 Const. Yard) I will cast G.Builder from barracks (5 mana), QC Generals Signet (3 mana) and Full Cast Goblin Grunt (3 mana)
3. Rnd (9 mana + 2 barracks + 2 Const. Yard) Now it all depends on my enemy and his behaviour.

I was hoping that i will be able pump out all 6 goblin grunts and Gourmash and start dealing some dmg and keep my enemy occupide while i will build archers watch tower or other outposts and cast Talos, which wouhld shatter my enemy actions more and more. I still dont know, how much efficient would goblins in first rounds will be.

Important cards:

Horn of Gothos - i will have goblins in smaller groups and thus i need to be able cast FAST battle order on whole arena.
Standard Bearer - at first, i was planning on using asyran defender as a standard bearer but will try it on Gurmash in first games. +1 Attack and +1 Armor is obvious.
Mark For Death - on mage or its biggest creature
Rolling Fog - together with FAST battle order, i hope i will improve Goblins survivability further.

Armory - i am still not sure about this. +1 Armor would be fine on Butchers, Defenders or Skeletal Sentries, not on G.Grunts. I dont believe that they will survive a medium attack even if they have 1 armor.

Altar of Carnage + lots of goblins = great mana income + mana on Const.Yard which i would like to spend on second part of my plan which is Dwarf Sniper in tower, with Hawkeye and Akiros Favor behind earth walls. I hope that Dwarf would be able trough "Piercing battle order" and "Sniper Shot Incantation" bind on "Command helmet" deal enough dmg to shut down all those nasty Conjurations like Idol of Pestilence, Altar of Skulls, Mordok Obelisk, Suppresion Orb or Spawnpoints. I was hoping for Akiros hammer with indirect trait but dwarf will do better and it is not limited on corporeal conjurations only.

Etherian Life Tree - this is a great "out of my first plan card". If my opponent had one or two big creatures, their health gain will still be +2 to +6 on their side. If i had 4 to 6 goblins, it will be 8 to 16 life on my side. Also, it will provide more time if my oponent cast Idol of pestilence.

Akiros Battle Cry - this card seems to be super usefull but still i dont feel confident about it. It is designed for Swarms but its cost/effectivity ratio is pretty low.

For armored targets, i have rust and goblin alchemists. For well protected targets i have Sniper and for Turtles i have a Talos prepared. There are still lot of holes and cards and great "What ifs..." but i hope i cover the basics.

I hope, that in the future there will be Goblin Shaman and its Altar of Viper Fangs, which will provide rot possibility for all goblin melee attacks.

Feel free to tear this build apart, only trough mistakes one is becoming a master

It seems, new OP kit is on its way. I try to decode all information from low-res picture. If you know more or have exact information, please share

1. Fire Elemental >> 20 Mana flame creature with 5 dice flame attack and dmg barrier.
2. Spiked armor >> 9 Mana War school armor >> Mage gain dmg barrier, Lightning +/- X and something else which i cannot decode right now
3. Bloodwave Greatbow >> 12 Mana War school creature, 4 dice 1-2 ranged attack and some text about piercing +2
4. Raincloud >> 8 mana Air&Water school creature. Creatures under it will gain Flame and Acid -2 trait, Regenerate +1 trait. Some text folows when mage do something something happen but its unclear

If i have two temples of dawnbreaker, how did they interact?

I fully understand which dice throws they affect but if i have two of them, can i use both temples on one dice throw? For example one for yellow dice and second on all atack dice? Or force player to reroll his red dice twice?
