Round 1

Shoopuff (Necromancer) vs Farkas (Straywood Beastmaster)
Sir Jason Crage (Arraxian Crown Warlock) vs jacksmack (Necromancer)
Werekingdom (Priestess) vs Enti (Arraxian Crown Warlock)

Reddicediaries (Paladin) vs Keejchen (Druid)
Sharkbait (Johktari Beastmaster) vs Biblofilter (Bloodwave Warlord)
Knabbmaster (Wizard) vs ein micha (Wizard)

I just wanted to point out that in every single game so far the 10 channeling mage won against the 9 channeling mage.
Coincidence?

I remember significant play mistakes in most of those match ups by the player playing the nine channel mage (myself included). So too early to tell I think.

WOW, harsh.  Oh well.  To each his own.  It works for my games quite well.

I don't think all the comments are phrased appropriately or in the best taste. Sorry for that.

I was trying to convey something, perhaps it came off a bit harsh (though I tried to make sure I was never attacking you. If it came off across as such, I apologize).

Hmm... while it can help build the hype announcing / revealing what mages has been selected, I’m afraid it will have a negative impact on the spellbook building having this knowledge.

That is the entire point of the tournament though.

I also just disagree with that statement. The whole point it to see what books people will bring with this knowledge.

All,

League kick off stream tonight at 8PM Central (0100 UTC, sorry Europe, we'll make it a VOD later)


Shark

Tonight?

I can give this a go if there is still room.

Can the same mage be played multiple times?

Yes, no limit.

Meditation amulet seems to go against what the build is designed to do.

For one sbp it could be situationally useful

I really do not see it ever doing anything.

You will always be the aggressor and I doubt have the actions to use it.

latest version of the book, which just experienced it's very first win !

considering dropping marked for death and a few others to add a fireball or two, this book is lacking in finishers which has made things a little difficult.

the book also tends to suffer from a mana shortage, especially ones some of the upkeep cost are being paid out. not sure if that's something to look into addressing or accepting as an inherent weakness.

Will comment more later.

1. Would cut marked for death for another rust; you are low on ways to deal with armor anyway and I find it a more generally useful card.
2. Plagued: This card is too expensive for me. For four spell book points, you might get a few points of damage (for one round only).
3. I miss ways of protecting the thoughtspores (glancing blow, lesser invisibility, brace yourself, etc).
4. I don't see any armor in this book. Relying on defenses is not enough, and even if you can kill them relatively quickly, playing without armor is too risky.

These are the initial impressions.

That was included in the original post.
