So I used this book a couple of times, beat a Fire Wizard once (barely) and got my butt handed to me by an Earth Wizard using two Gorgons and an Earth Elemental.  The guy I played opened with two mana crystals, a Gate to Votarii, and a Moonglow amulet.  I added two mana crystals to this book after the game to try to keep up with the Wizard's economy next time.  I also added the steel walls, because the earth walls just didn't cut it (gorgons took them out in a round).  I know I should rush a Wizard playing economy, right?  Especially if they play economy for two rounds.  But with what?  Panzerguards only hit for three dice, Kriegsbiels for four, and weak tokens stack up fast.  And Golems can't get weak but are also slow.  I could revamp everything and go with skeletons, but then I'd have a lot fewer creatures to play with.

My original plan for the book was set up Grimson behind a wall with Archer's tower or use Panzerguards to intercept opposing archers or rushers that got too close.  Except then the Earth Elemental gets summoned and Grimson is next to useless.  I think my biggest mistake the last game was trying to focus down the Wizard instead of taking out the Gorgon archers with Grimson. 

I don't want to scrap the book entirely, but I'd like it to be versatile enough to survive at least my local meta.  I think part of my problem is that once I put a card in my book I'm loath to take it out again.

Advice is welcome, as long as I don't have to change anything.     Just kidding, please help.

Played a couple games as a Druid last night (representing my 5th and 6th games total).  First game I turtled, planning to set up a Thornlasher/Bloodspine congo line that never got started.  My opponent played a Beastmaster who put Bear Strength and Eagle Wings on Makunda.  Then he teleported me away from the Thornlashers.  The second match he played a Forcemaster who destroyed me in 4 rounds with Galvatar and a couple of hurled boulders.

What I learned so far:

-- I can't afford to split spells up between keeping books for beginngers and try to make a coherent book for more competive play at the same time (only have one core set at present)
-- I need a plan for causing damage that happens FAST.  This game is over way too quickly to build up slowly.
-- I'm not very good at this game (yet).

I'm not discouraged, though.  It's still a fun game even when I'm getting mulched.  I got to dissolve my opponents elemental wand and dancing scimitar and hit him once with Togorah against the Forcemaster.

So my wife and I have a game night every other Friday, generally.  Normally the crowd is small, but for whatever reason a bunch of people who are invited but never show up have confirmed that they're coming tonight.  My dilemna is this:  do I hijack one of the players to introduce them to Mage Wars and be antisocial to the rest of the group or do I play a group game with everybody and leave MW for another day?  Oh, and I would love to play a four player game of MW but haven't talked the wife into buying a second set (yet).

Is acid a subtype of water school? 

If so, if a creature is hydro immune, does that mean it is also acid immune?

I looked but couldn't find an answer in the FAQs. 

(Sorry if my looking sucked.  Also sorry if the question is already obviously answered in the rules.)
