First build of an Adramalech for Domination

[pete2]

Hey guys,

i've finally managed to get my hands on a copy of BG Domination this weekend here in Belgium. And i'm so looking forward to try it out !!! My gamebuddy also owns a copy and we're gonna meet somewhere soon. Since i've never played the adramalech warlock (i mainly play Druid , Warlord, Necro and FM)..i thought to give it a shot and especially prepare her for Domination !

here's the book :

my idea was to first cast Sersiryx and to use it as of round 2 to attack a sslack with a flameblast.  Afterwards i would try to cast galaxxus, next to the zone where the sslak used to be, and to start gaining V'tar from both the galaxxus and the closest orb i would control by now. After that phase i would try to get to the opposing mage, to keep him from winning v'tar - the idea was to that by opening a V'Torrak gate...and to let all the demons get to him !

The ghoul is there to get fast to the orbs, the imps to teleport to the orbs...

i'm just not sure about the include of the Battleforge or the Pentagram..so i left them both in...mainly to have the choice while the game develops...could be that i have to equip my mage, could be that i need the mana to start casting those demons !!!

let me know what you think about it !

[Halewijn]

some things I would change:

- pentagram + mana crystal + battle forge + sersiryx ( + galaxuss) seems a bit expensive and I think it will slow you down too much. In general those cards are always cast in the first 2 rounds. I think you should lose 2 of them and pick a main strategy.

- I would use some more ignites & imps. Place a burn on a guard, teleport your imps in. really swarming with imps can give you a huge action advantage. Maybe add some firebrand imps too.

- Since the deck is not designed to kill the opponent, why would you use explode? A simple dissolve seems better

- same comment about magebane/plagued. Chains of agony could be used on enemy creatures. maybe add a ghoul rot for that purpose? If you want to go for the kill I would lose the galaxuss.

- An enchantment I would love to play in domination is the [mwcard=MWBG1E03]Sentinel of V'Tar[/mwcard]. 

- Wall of bones! walls are really undervalued. In domination they seem to be even better.

- You know the ravenous ghoul cannot be cast with pentagram? I think your full action is worth a lot (to hit orbs/guards) so I would keep it simple and use living dark creatures.  If you really want his speed too attack as soon as possible you can consider charge/force push/teleport. Maybe add a bat? Same opinion about animate dead.

- blood demon is not that usefull without the bloodreaper ability. His bloodthirsty can be a pain in your neck if it prevents you from hitting an orb. (Skeelax seems an awesome choice )

- no Brace yourself/Defend? they are not really a must but sometimes they really come in handy.

- since you have a decent amount of attack spells (maybe add some more) I would lose the elemental wand. Seems like a waste of mana/actions.

- For extra positioning you could add a couple of teleports, and maybe a [mwcard=MWBG1I01]Cascading Force Wave[/mwcard]


Wow, that was much more text then I intended.

Hi!

I think you can improve this book a lot.

Most Domination games (1vs1) seems to be over in 10 rounds.

I suggests you cut at least one spawnpoint.

Try to build a 60 point spellbook. Ignites/Wall of Fire/Wild Fire Imp spam/Force Pushes + a [mwcard=FWI04]Force Wave[/mwcard] seems like a nice basic idea.

Then add more attack spells, especially area attack spells like Ring of Fire but you can add a lot of spells you don´t usually get to use.

Seems you could go for the V´Tar race and then build up with Hawkeye, Ring of Fire, Akiro's Favor to have a good chance to just kill the opponent mage, should you fall behind.

We started out just playing our normal spellbooks and just add Galaxuss and a few other "random" Domination cards, but theres really no point in casting six mana crystals in such a short game. In my (limited) experience the mage with the V´Tar lead usually just wins.

- I would use some more ignites & imps. Place a burn on a guard, teleport your imps in. really swarming with imps can give you a huge action advantage. Maybe add some firebrand imps too.

I think using Ignites and Imps to teleport across the board sounds amazing. Just be careful, the imps are fast, but fragile.

Allright Halewijn and biblio,

A big thanks to both of you for your recommandations !!!..and i really didn't mind reading all that text !

here's my update...and i will definitely try to stick to the imp swarm + ignite strategy !
