So no change to Killer Bees, but only to the Swarm trait? Also sounds good to me.

Books should be submitted by May 13, but small changes before the tournament starts are still allowed.

Reminder: There are still a few days remaining to register at headjudge@jannis.rocks!

Short rules summary:
– All expansions in English and German allowed (including Academy Monk and Necromancer), but no promo card that haven’t been available as core cards in an expansion (so the promo cards that came with expansions aren’t allowed).
– One book for round 1–3, different mage for round 4–6. (Alternate mages count as different mages.) No changes during the day.
– Please bring everything your mages need—including all markers, damage tokens, mana tokens, initiative markers, dice and so on. We can only bring the arena game boards.
– We’ll play Swiss. On day 1, round 1–3 will be played (with the first mage) and round 4 (with the second mage). Day 2 will see round 5 and 6 (with the second mage). After that, the best two players will play in the finals and the winner of this game will be the fifth German Mage Wars Arena champion. For the final game you can choose between the first or second mage or use an entirely new spell book.
– 90 minutes time limit per game, after that the current round will be finished. Win is 2 points + 1/20 life difference to opponent (max. 3 points), draw (time limit called) is 1 point + 1/20 life difference (max. 2 points), lost game is 1 point - 1/20 life difference (min. 0 points). Sounds a bit complicated, but works really well.

Looking forward to seeing you at Bad Nauheim!

Attention Mages! We invite you to the MAGE WARS ACADEMY CHAMPIONSHIP 2017: The worldwide first official Mage Wars Academy tournament!

We’d love to welcome you at our tournament booth on SUNDAY, MAY 28, 2017 at the ROLE PLAY CONVENTION in Cologne, Germany—it doesn’t matter if you’re a novice Mage or if you are playing since the release of Mage Wars Academy. As this is the first Mage Wars Academy tournament everybody has a chance to win!

– 10:30 a.m. at the RPC tournament booth of the German Mage Wars publisher Pegasus Spiele. Be early as the lines in front of the entry of the building can be huge!
– Have a look at our tournament rules (German) and at our Facebook event page!
– Don’t forget to buy a ticket for the RPC (cheaper if you buy in advance).
– Send an email to me at headjudge@magewars.de to reserve a seat in the tournament.
– Win awesome stuff!

We’re looking forward to seeing you! Grab your spellbook, you do not want to miss this tournament.

We wondered in the German Mage Wars forum: Are there still Wizards trained in other element schools than Air in Etheria (but you can’t play them right now) or was the change also a retroactive change in the Lore?

I’m an Arcane Wonders Ambassador; I’ll be at Essen at the Pegasus booth and am in charge of the Mage Wars activities there. Sadly, it’s almost impossible to do events at Essen. The huge halls are too noisy to concentrate during tournaments and dedicated tournament space is way too expensive. I’m always having promo cards with me but for anything more than that, I’m afraid that Essen just isn’t the right event.

I was pointed to this today. Very interesting to hear your discussions of the Mage Wars German Nationals!
