"Sim City" druid/mage == multiple trees/spawnpoints, many seed-pods/mana batteries, building an engine in a vacuum.

Point being, if you use Lesser Teleport (2) to cram explosive imps at a super-turtle and you follow-up with cheap Firestreams, you make it a really bad day for a Druid who just wants 3 seed-pods and Samara Tree in D2.

I'm not saying you're guaranteed a Win, Im just saying cheap Fire and cheap Teleport(lesser) IS the answer to Turtle druid. Deny them a comfort zone. Throw Imps in from Range 3 (sprint plus Lesser Teleport). Force a Druid to start summoning Tegu and you're taking precious mana away from the Vine Tree's projection.   

Like everything in Mage Wars, my single tactic of a FastBombImp is but one piece of the puzzle. Meant to quickly and near-automatically put a BURN token on every plant in the zone. I play Druid a lot locally and learned quickly not to put all my plants in one basket, yet on OCTGN I hear of druids with 4 plants in the same zone.

1. Imp gets budget BURNS started.
2. Firestream is more budget BURNS.
3. IMP + Double Firestream is still cheaper than 4 plants/flowers.

Doesn't "Lesser Teleport" already make the game extremely faster?

I'm not convinced rushing with lesser teleport is that used or viable as of yet.

Perhaps, but faster... Definitely. (3) in all my decks at all times.

I was shocked after punching my new Grimoire Vol 1 into spellbookbuilder and finding out I was still missing a ton of VITAL promo cards (like Screaming Zombie!)...

I would welcome a Vol 2 even if it were smaller than Vol 1.

The Turn-3 VineSnapper TurboDruid:

Turn 1 (Mana 19):
[Deploy: Vine in D3]
Quickcast Vine Tree (Treebond) in D3 / Sprint to C2

Turn 2 (Mana 20):
[Deploy: (2) Vines C2 and B2]
Sprint to A2 / Quickcast Bark Skin (or Bear Str, I prefer the Bark Skin Gambit) FD on Druid

Turn 3 (Mana 27):
[Deploy: (2) Vines A2 and A1 / (1) Vine-Snapper A1]
Fullcast Tegu A2 / Quickcast Rouse the Beast on Vine Snapper A1

20 Mana + 1 Mana on Vine Tree going into Turn 4. This Turbo-Druid really puts pressure on a Turtle.

Is this on Youtube/Vimeo?

Thanks for weighing in, Sailor Vulcan. Like in most Timing/Phase debates... I just want to make sure I understand it correctly (and then still cramming more Seeking Dispel deckwise).

Mage with 'FD-Falcon Precision' declares melee on my ForceMaster. I declare and pay for 'Symbiotic Orb Defense,' is it too late to reveal 'Falcon Precision?' Or does it fizzle my Orb_Defense (wasting 3 mana / or / 1 Dissipate).
