Great idea, not only the deck, but the possibility to play this way by introducing just one or two amulets in the deck. Against necro or similar one maybe wants a more aggresive approach, but having this option for 2-4 SP is a great assset.

I will begin opening some space for the amulet in my paladin deck... the other tools I already wear them.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your comments!

As an update, I will present some features about the mages that are being played. Counting 35 games up to date (out of 49 pairings some of which are not recorder or have been dropped), the most popular mage has been Adramelech Warlock, 11 games (Madrid is on fire). Other common appearances have been Anvil Throne Warlord, Necromancer or Paladin (7 times each). See the numbers:

Total appearances on the tables:

Adramelech Warlock   11
Arraxian Crown Warlock   9
Anvil Throne Warlord   7
Necromancer   7
Paladin   7
Druid   5
Siren   5
Bloodwave Warlord   4
Forcemaster   4
Priestess   4
Wizard   3
Johktari Beastmaster   2
Priest   1
Straywood Beastmaster   1


When it comes to winning, the top here seems to be the Arraxian Crown Warlock (6 wins for the good old reliable aggro), followed by her sister, the Adramelech Warlock, and the Necro (5 wins each).

Total victories:

Arraxian Crown Warlock   6
Adramelech Warlock   5
Necromancer   5
Anvil Throne Warlord   4
Paladin   4
Druid   3
Forcemaster   2
Siren   2
Johktari Beastmaster   1
Priestess   1
Straywood Beastmaster   1
Wizard   1
Bloodwave Warlord   0
Priest   0

Finally, we can also see the wining%. This is slightly different, but answering that old question from a young training jedi: Yes. The dark side seems to be more powerful. I am counting only mages with at least 3 games recorded.

% Winning rate:

Necromancer   71%
Arraxian Crown Warlock   67%
Druid   60%
Anvil Throne Warlord   57%
Paladin   57%
Forcemaster   50%
Adramelech Warlock   45%
Siren   40%
Wizard   33%
Priestess   25%
Bloodwave Warlord   0%

I presume you are not surprised to see the Necro shining...

So this is a small piece of the Madrid metagame photo! I will come back soon...

PD1: Arxiducs, as you can see, we are using the complete pool. We have been playing english cards so far these years!!

PD2: Tomorrow starts round 8. Here we go!!!

The blasting banker would be more like an archetype than a build, woldnt?

I mean, the concept is adaptable for different mages and it has a strategy on its own, different from the others (turtle or rush, in example).

In that case, I believe it is perfectly available nowadays. Not obsolete at all.

Regarding banking enchanter, I tried something like that in jokhtari with felella, but I suffered a lot vs rush. The deck was slow to set up and had not enough areas. The bow helped but it can be dissolved (my last game with this deck my rival dissolved 3 bows).

You have to be heavily tooled vs rush, specially swarm rush. I came to 5-6 armor + veteran and still swarms killed me.

That goes for my jokthari, of course. Other enchant-heavy decks can do maybe better. But i find Felella is a nice tool for this, as she gives action and mana advantage, and can protect herself fine with glancing blow, dodge, etc. And I find jokhtari the best nature mage (felella is nature mage only) for this concept, as she can use some of the enchantments (hawkeye and akiro´s), and can use the bf quite fine (free action bow equipping). Also, the other 2 nature mages seemed oriented to creatures that somehow look like less worthy of enchantments.

If you try out another banker enchanter mage, please tell! I love aggrocontrol 

Hi! I´m new to the forum, not to the game, and I wanted to share with the community some news about a nice event we are running in Madrid, Spain:

It´s the 2016-2017 League Generación X Carranza (this is the name of the sponsoring gameshop that is hosting).

It´s a presence play game league in 13 rounds, aprox two weeks per round, and including 14 players. This is a long term championship that will end in a 4 players play-off featuring the best of us. We are mid-season now, and blood fills the ground in the arena. I myself am new to this community but I think they have been playing these kind of leagues for three years now, though never so crowded!

Until now my experience has been fantastic in all the matches, with great people and great games where I had to do my best (and often it was not enough), and always found kindness and sportsmanship on my rivals. I´d like to thank the organizers if they are reading this, for their efforts. Great job men!

Right now the positions are as follows (6-7 games accounted):

1.- Zarovich: 6 wins, 1 time win.
2.- Zweken: 6 wins (1 less match).
3.- JmRocha: 6 wins, 1 loss.
4.- Vitonator: 4 wins, 1 time loss, 2 losses.
5.- Angelperez: 4 wins, 3 losses.
6.- Pritoos: 4 wins, 3 losses.
7.- Stgermain: 2 wins, 1 time win, 1 time loss, 3 losses.
8.- Beeckamm: 2 wins, 1 time win, 3 losses (1 less match).
9.- Petiso: 2 wins, 1 time loss, 3 losses (1 less match).
10.- Geri18: 2 wins, 4 losses (1 less match).
11.- Mvelazquezm: 2 wins, 4 losses (1 less match).
12.- Littlemove:  1 win, 1 time loss (2 less matches).
13.- Oskarin: 1 time win, 5 losses (1 less match).
14.- Rubenlop: 7 losses (he had to concede so far).

It is being a great and fun competition, where 3 players are showing their best, but they have not yet crossed among themselves so far. Everything is open now and anything can happen from here to the end…

Now that the game has been distributed in native tongue in our country, we expect the community to grow, and probably will keep organizing more competitions and events. Any Madrid players interested, contact me pero ya!!!

I´ll keep updating!

I keep all the cards in three big binders.

I think the best way to build a deck is taking the three huge albums that feel actually like ancient tomes, turn on some fantasy soundtrack from carmina burana to the 13th warrior and light a pipe.

Then, wear a gown, sit down with crossed legs and go from one tome to the next searching for something that tinkles your head while you keep murmuring surrounded by smoke.

That´s my way. You may not create a great deck...  maybe you will not even build one after a couple of hours. But it´s definitely nice.

Also, keeping the decklists in excel is a good option. You can easily create rules to keep track of the costs and change whatever you like on time. You can add different versions of the deck in the sheets, and you can keep record of the deck´s performance. This would be easier if the tool in AW was fully operational, as it can be easily exported.

I presume OTCGN cannot be exported to excel, but it does look like the best tool right now.
