As the dude said this is a pet project book that I have been working on for a while now. A few things I have looked at are dropping the spider and adding a Grizzly. If this is done you remove the Quick Sand. Each change made to this must be well thought out because it has no direct line of play. This was why i wanted to see if anybody picked up on the subtle tricks this book has. The book works best when it is not known you will be playing it. If played correctly you can win a match in 35-50 minutes with no problems.

The reason this has changed so much from the Gencon build is it was setup to play against the necro and druid. With the gencon build I was reaching more into the Poison DoT build but as everybody has seen the necro is poison immune and the druid uses vines to summon behind your main line.

I'm not sure if Grizzly is best here. Yes, it's phantasic and all that jazz and what not, but I think spider does more here. And yes, battle furied spider is loose as shit, but when it works, it's too good. Reason I would think about grizzly though is with the advent of Necro, Purifies will see a resurgence like no other.

How can Obelisk and Orb be in the same book? They are both epic right?

Epic
Only 1 copy of this spell can be in a Mage’s spellbook.

What is the problem with both being in the same spellbook?

Keeping Epic/Legendary/Unique strait is a bit of a challenge after almost a year!
