This is a fun Monk book that I have been working on, again this book is for casual play.
*I do play with Haruku, Shadow Assassin as written (he cannot be targeted while active)*

T1: 8 mana & 2Ki
ring of ki, meditate
end 4 mana

T2: 11 mana & 6 Ki
Oboko, Sohei Master
end 0 mana

T3: 6 mana and 9 Ki
(use ring of Ki for 2 extra Ki), Crumble or Disperse if there is decent target out, or face down fortified resolve on mage and reveal, fist of lightning (pay X ki to make the target inactive-- 9 ki is more than enough), Oboku punch enemy mage if possible.

from here play cheap equipment and attacks, mend oboku when needed and save up for the shadow assassin.  Mind seize, miss, martial mastery, bo staff, alluring orchid, and more all help keep your guys alive while being able to dish out damage. alluring orchid and miss are great for protecting oboko. even guarding with your mage while you have the staff is a good way to help him out and helps charge up fortified resolve at the same time!

Let me know what you guys think.

The priestess is one of my favorite academy mages to play (that's saying a lot because I tend to only play dark school mages)! This book is a casual play book but is more of a thinker's book.

The idea of this book is to Get Ehren going asap and then support him, outlast your opponent, and take the win.

T1: 9 mana
Ehren and Meridia's Shrine
end 0 mana

T2: 7 mana
Healing Tree (heal Ehren), guard with mage, Ehren uses action to pray and heal 2
end 1 mana

T3: 8 mana
Temple Sentry, Dazzle enemy creature, (Ehren heals from the tree), Ehren swings for 5 dice and has a guard ready to take a hit for him.
end 1 mana

T4: 8 mana

From here support Ehren, play another sentry, divine reversal, mend, dazzle for a stagger on a minor creature, group mend, the list goes on.  Support and outlast!

Let me know what you guys think.

That's a good call on combustion demon.  I have 4 demons in here because the original iteration of the book had the spell where you take 1 damage for every demon and they all get melee +1, unholy blood ritual?

I am also debating on swapping one regrowth for an overgrowth for my mage. Use the 1 regrowth for mheg and the overgrowth for me to get more dice on soulreaper and recover a little from the mheg life loss.

If I cut a demon then reprisal doesn't seem worth it, really.  I could use that sbp for arcane ward.

Thanks for the feedback!

That's a good point.  I will try that in my next few games!

This book was made for casual play, no tournament or competitive play in mind though it can be turned into one. I'll let you guys have fun experimenting and playing the book with that direction in mind.

T1: 7 mana
amulet of attunement (activate any glyph), use the amulet to deactivate glyph to gain 2 mana, mana shard (activate earth glyph)
end 0 mana

T2: 8 mana
ice golem (activate air and water glyph), use amulet to deactivate water glyph to gain 2 mana, deep freeze face down on golem
end 0 mana

T3: 8 mana
reveal deep freeze, attack with golem (pay 1 mana to use earth glyph and give golem 2 armor), use amulet to deactivate air glyph for 2 mana, ice spikes (air and water glyph already active so nothing..could use air when golem attacks for guaranteed freeze or water to heal 2 damage if I took any...or just save the mana for the next round.
end 1 mana if I didn't use a glyph, 0 if I did use the second one


This is generally how I play with the book.  Save mana when you can to get the elemental out. the amulet helps with this so much (which is why I have 2). the wand is in here to stack freeze markers and it helps bank mana if I am only using that and possibly punching or guarding with my main action. 

The water glyph and ironvine help mitigate damage to keep my mage alive.

The general idea, though, is to use freeze conditions to DOT enemy creatures and eventually the enemy mage.

I had extinguish in here at one point but I can get so many freeze conditions out with attack spells, creatures, and the wands that I didn't need them.  If I am burned then the wand can offset that with freeze conditions and then I will heal with the water glyph.  I also debated the acid ooze but DOT from freeze makes armor irrelevant. 

Sweeping strike on an ice golem is bananas!

Gator toughness is for my mage, obviously.

Twister is here in case an enemy swarm gets out of hand, and I can activate an air glyph so that my mage or a creature can get +4 on an effect.

The staff is here because  mana for infinite defense is really good.  Yes, I have to pay 1 mana, but I have the shard to offset that, the amulet to off set that, and I will always have a glyph active.   I can have the staff and the wand out at the same time too! add a freeze with the wand, shoot an attack spell (we'll just say 5 mana beam of frost) to active a glyph(s), use the amulet to gain 2 mana, and use the staff to dodge attacks (hopefully). That 1 turn cost 6 mana, I got potentially 3 freeze counters on, dodged an attack, and hopefully I will have a creature to swing in for more freeze counters.  Yes, there is set up but that is a crazy turn!

What happens if I go up against an elementalist using frost creatures? shoot the mage and hope you kill them before they kill you.

Let me know what you guys think. I am eager to get some feedback on this.

I agree that it takes strategy away. But i really like this idea! It changes the game to a RTS style.
And it would help with shortening the game length

So the original idea behind this book was to use blightheart and capitalize on his ability with alluring orchids. I didnt have any other basis for making the book, other than that. 
Some ideas that I have for the cards chosen are:

*mass cowardice - blightheart may be able to get the jump on a creature in his zone if they dont run, if they do they are hindered and he can chase them down and still get the bonus effect
*stumble - i love this card anyways but having an automatic swing and a miss so blightheart can get his bonus is nice!
*fumble - if they try to run then stop them in their tracks, get the bonus effect after they act
*lullaby, chant of rage, and song of love - all songs dedicated to the opponent having to attack or move where I want them.  Lullaby is more of a "I hope they miss or lose their action" so I can then swing in.
*Alluring orchid - minor creatures automatically lose their action against blightheart and he gets his bonus
*tanglevine - a staple for all necromancers but if they waste an action getting out then blightheart can move in.
*overextend - wait until an enemy has activated, use blightheart then overextend, then galvanize next turn - this one is really only ideal for killing a big buddy or trying to get the death blow on the mage.
*gale burst will knock out a minor creature that is near me so blightheart can finish it off. - I am pretty sure this will also be helpful against a swarm creature, if I move in and gale burst before they move and attack me.

I think that is it for blightheart strategy.  Everything else is pretty standard necro.  I like to bank mana for a turn or two between turns 3-5 so I will use both seeking dispels on one turn if I can.

All of the commands work on all of the skeletons.

Idol of pestilence is a necro staple card!

My zone attack of choice was sandstorm, because of the 0-2 range.  I can still use that and be obscured at the same time with my cloak.

Lightning bolt is in for a finishing blow on a creature or the mage and because of the daze and stun chance.

Arc lightning is there because it is unavoidable and the daze and stun chance.

Sweeping strike and battle fury are there for any creature but ideally blightheart or venemous zombie

I dig curse item because of the range and the DOT. I can still hit the enemy with it while being obscured.

I think that is about it for my deck analysis.  I look forward to playing some games when I can and tweaking this book.
Thanks for checking it out.

Guess my math was off on the senrty. Thanks.

Halberd and remove curse are good options, i'll work them in somehow.

Armory is not essential and is a lot of mana, i get that. But buffing undead is way more difficult than buffing the living. No rhino hide, gator toughness, brace yourself, etc. If i can get an arena wide buff for 10 mana, i will take it. Just my preference.

I had gurmash but he brings too much unneeded attention and dies too fast. And wasting actions is not how i see it. Spend one qc so a soldier can hit 2 or 3 targets with one action seems pretty rad. 9 mana for a knight to roll 15 dice or 4 mana for a sentry to roll 8 dice. Not too shabby. And that is with no buffs on them or discounts on my commands.

I view overextend as a rouse the beast for skeletons. I summon it and it wouldnt act for a turn anyways, just overextend amd get the hit off then. Its more to finish off a creature, not juat use it to use it kind of thing.

Healing and armor, i do lack. An intercepter would be nice and armor would be good. I had armor in at one point but sbps had to be cut for the creatures :/ lol
