I've been following this thread since it started, as issues of balance are always of paramount interest for me. Today, I reread the entire thread again. It's the last comment that really got to me.
Well, it's been three years since the game was released. How much more time do they need?
It's a valid question, and frankly as someone who spends their days immersed working on Mage Wars sets of all types, I had not sat back and thought that the Core Set came out three years ago. It took me a moment, and it was also why I reread this entire post. Early on, we were incredibly worried about the Forcemaster, but since the melee +X ruling, I've been trying to keep an eye on the Wizard, as he was the next closest to having an issue. Personally, I was very happy with Forged in Fire and what it was able to accomplish. It really helped elevate the Warlord, and expand the play available to the Warlock.
But, that was last year, and I understand the frustration. You, as players, are waiting to have more Mages expanded and enriched like we did with Forged in Fire. I was excited to be working on just that. Now, after rereading this post, I have a new sense of urgency.
In the end, what do you want to see other schools get to help against a wizard? Honestly, I've always felt that the best way to handle all of this is through printing new cards. However, I'm very interested in what you feel would best help other schools.
I can't make any promises as to how often products will come out, but I do promise you I'm working on them as hard as I can.
