Thanks, but I think I have hi-jacked the thread long enough here, and it is time to steer back things before the Arcane Wonders equivalent of Potter Worlds of Dementers come my way.
I do think that long term OCTGN will not negatively affect the Mage Wars and in the near term it really helps develop players that would normally not get the chance to play but one or two games a month or in some cases none at all. As for the tourney meta, I think being able to play out of your local meta gives players a leg up on play testing against different players, spellbooks built differently than your friend across the table would. I have bought much of what is out there that has been offered by Arcane Wonders and most of the virtual players I have talked with have too.
