under the original card version you would have to attack the orchid with minor creatures. as part of the arena wrap up version release testing going on right now there is a new version of that card that would allow you to do other things. however if a minor creature did attempt a non counterstrike it would have to attack the orchid. also it lost the regeneration trait as well.

Rules Discussion / Alluring Orchid Question
« Last post by elock49 on April 11, 2021, 08:24:09 AM »
If you are playing Mage Wars Academy against someone who has the "alluring orchid" and you only have minor creatures in play, do you have to attack the alluring orchid or can you choose to guard instead of attacking so that you can avoid attacking the orchid.

In mage wars academy, if you are playing against someone that has the "alluring orchid" and you only have minor creatures, can you choose to guard instead of attack the orchid, or do you have no choice but to attack the orchid.

Spells / Re: Card Errata (The Mage Wars Community Self-Management Project)

okay, so after reading a few more comments i've somewhat changed my mind about card errata. we probably don't need any errata for broken cards at the present time, just for cards that are worded badly or break rules as intended, or which are worded confusingly and need to be made more clear.

The game might be more fun and diverse with single purpose wands instead of mage wands/elemental wands, but i'm not sure that's actually necessary for game balance, so that idea's not a good one right now. We don't need to get rid of spellbind.

As for the druid being nigh unkillable without killing her tree, i suppose that one way to think of it is that the druid's tree is like a part of her mage abilities which doesn't become active until after the game starts and she spends mana and actions on it. if you think of the druid as a 34 life 10 channeling mage, and the tree as a 9 mana spawnpoint with 1 channeling and regen 2 and the ability to transfer damage to the controlling mage to make it more surivvable.... barkskin compensates for this, but barkskin has upkeep +2. so basically if your running a druid with a vine tree bonded thats' 34 life and 10 channeling on your mage, minus 10 starting mana and one quick action, and if opponent starts attacking tree and the tree needs to transfer damage to mage, barkskin is needed to compensate for that, which has upkeep 2 so thats like lowering druid down to 8 channeling effectively
So basically, the druid actually starts the game off at a mana and action disadvantage. She isn't overpowered, but maybe it would be a good idea to start attacking the tree sooner even if you don't expect to destroy it. the damage will be transferred to mage, then if she puts barkskin on it will be easier to gain a mana advantage on her until she removes it, which may give you more time to setup on her.
Any developments On the Errata front? Will the final arena expansion expected later this year perhaps create the need for further adjustments?

***General Announcement - 2***

Well you all rock. We ended up doubling the amount of players entering the tournament on the last day. Because of this we had extended the round robin to be 4 groups of 4 players each. Only one player will advance to the semi-finals. I am updating the front of this page to reflect the groups. If you have trouble contacting your opponent - feel free to contact us at Arcaneduels@gmail.com, or pm me on Discord.

Good luck everyone!

the next mw weekend here in indy looking like 6/11-13. contact me if you are planning on making it. i have had several already wanting to come. i have posted this announcement on the mw discord server as well. you can reach me here or there and i can provide details.

also thinking about having a competition during that weekend. still sorting out the specifics as to what that entails if it happens. such as new mages/cards, 10 channel etc. most likely will want to use the updates to help provide data for the wrap up set release if it has not been finalized by then.
