Vine Markers (Game Marker)
Vine markers are a Living conjuration with 1 life, no armor, and they cannot gain armor. Vine markers hinder enemy non-Flying creatures. Any amount of damage will destroy a Vine Marker, regardless of its total life. They can’t be targeted by ranged attacks. Any number of Vine markers can occupy a zone.
As the Druid, or a familiar or tree spawnpoint she controls, casts a vine spell, you can destroy a target Vine marker she controls as an additional cost to cast that spell. If you do, you may ignore the range of that spell to target that Vine marker’s zone, an object in that Vine marker’s zone, or a border of that Vine marker’s zone. That vine spell must have a legal target. If two or more Druids are playing, each should use a different side of the Vine marker to distinguish ownership.

That should answer any questions.....

[mwcard=MWBG1A03]Hurl Meteorite[/mwcard] is a Full Cast spell and cant be bound to a Wand. You can only carry 4 in your book. You couldn't cast Meteor and the Wizards Tower in the same turn after previously casting meteor in the previous round and even if you did you wouldn't have the mana to cast whatever is bound to the WT.

Meet cheese with stinker cheese, move a couple of zones cast Wall of Thorns and push the mana depleted Wizard through it a couple of times and you will win. Its cheesy and it stinks but you will break that Hurl Meteorite habit real quick.

But it does make a fantastic "surprise" long range finisher.....


Why can't Hurl Meteorite be bound to an elemental wand?

[mwcard=MWBG1A03]Hurl Meteorite[/mwcard] can be bound to an [mwcard=MW1Q08]Elemental Wand[/mwcard].  It cannot be bound to a [mwcard=MWSTX1CKJ02]Wizard's Tower[/mwcard].

This is what I meant....

You might be right, but merely listing all of the things that the wizard can do that other mages can't doesn't necessarily prove anything and isn't really useful. For instance, look at what happens when I take your post and switch out the word "wizard" for "priestess", and the wizard's capabilities to that of the priestess:

You can't. You would have to remove about 5-10 cards from the book.

I really think the original intent of the OP was to determine if "flipping" the QC Marker was the official start of the 4 steps of casting a spell, as least that is how I read it. And the answer should be yes....

One assumption I made was that the hidden Mage Bane was not the target of the Seeking Dispel which would have been declared in the Cast Spell Step.

This would all happen during one of the Phases in the Action Stage. However like Exid pointed once the QC marker is flipped the Mage is in the process of casting the Spell and would have to pay the casting cost at that point. The first chance to reveal Mage Bane would be during the counter spell step, however since the step when the casting cost of the spell has already been paid, Mage Bane would have no effect on this particular spell, as going back in time is not allowed in MW.

One note, since you were in the Quick Cast phase, you could of legally revealed Mage Bane before the QC marker was flipped and it would of affected the spells casting cost. If you are in one of the Phases of the Ready Stage you could only reveal Mage Bane at the end of each of those Phases.

Not really, just real simple strategies to counter it, mainly several pieces of Leather in different slots and/or a Brace Yourself, make sure the opponents Dissolve Wand is destroyed quickly. Even one armor really takes the teeth out of it. Additionally you can do the same back and give them some of there on own medicine.
