A small event tonight at Spandex City. Most of Charlottes Mage Warriors are resting up and preparing for HoshiCon this weekend and out charity tournament to benefit Time Out Youth. Still a fun event. Mages in attendance:
DevilsVendetta: Awesome Charlotte resident Holy mage got like 6 copies of Academy and learned got sick with them. Priestess got nasty.
Jimillia: Deciding to prove Wizards don't need fancy towers or training in anything but Arcane and Air my roommate Millie brought hers to the fight.
Silverclawgrizzly: I brought my Straywood Beast Master and while I intended this to be practice for the big event Saturday a large stack of Dragonscale Wolverines came in today and I altered my book to not be big event legal and put one in.
ROUND 1:
Jimillia VS Silverclawgrizzly: I hate mana denial, especially as I've limited ways to deal with it. Millie built this book two days ago and refined it today. I've lost an Emerald Tegu to Essence Drain twice in as many days. Mana Siphon, Suppression Cloak, Enchanters Wardstone, and some curses made my life a living nightmare. She lacked on creatures after I took out her gate and had she summoned more I would have been dead but I was able to barely eek out a win and take the mana denial apart slowly. Still I won solely cause my pet Dragonscale Wolverine(whom I named Darthgokuverine) so it's a somewhat tainted win as I won via promo. She'll continue working on it I'm sure and I doubt the Rage machine will save me.
Round 2: DevilsVendetta VS Silverclawgrizzly: Holy crap is Academy Priestess nice! Yeah yeah looking at cards online are cool but you don't realize the true reality until lazer clerics are zapping every time your opponent heals. I failed miserably to kill the Eliran even though I did manage to bring down Brogan and Aurora as well as a White Cloak Knight and enough Level 1 scrubs to make a Beast Master jealous. This wasn't so much a match as it was a beat down alley fight. Cervere and Slovarg both got themselves nicely butchered not to mention my two falcons that were one shot killed by a Temple Sharpshooter. I destroyed his temple early but it didn't matter. Alter of the Iron Guard just meant he summoned super guards like the Temple High Guard to fight me and I do NOT like messing with those guys at all. I got the win in the end but based on life and some VERY judicious use of Tanglevines to keep his heavy hitters from beating the crap out of me.
Round 3: Jimillia VS DevilsVendetta: I had the buy round for this so I went to go read my comics. I looked in on the match at times and it looked like a horrible slug fest with Hydras, Brogan, and all sorts of carnage. I saw two archers from different schools go at it and in the end Jimillia squeeked out a win from what I understand.
I took the win and used the store credit I won to get a copy of Academy Priestess for our charity tournament Saturday.
