We have 20 spellpoints to play with. Right now we're low on equipment. The question is what do we need to finish this guy up? Also, is there anything we have in that is extraneous? I'll be playing this tonight, so this last stage will end at 5PM Eastern. Let's finish strong gentlemen!

[Wildhorn]

Whirling Strike is a complete waste imo. Battle Fury is way better.
Unholy Resurgence is not that useful. It is very rare someone try to damage multiple creature at once, they tend to focus down one then move to next one.
I would remove 1 Hurl Boulder

I would add 2 stone or steel wall, they can be very useful to block LoS.
I would add a second watchtower (since we do not have access to the cool outpost from expansion), to boost Barrack while providing another spot for archers to shoot.
I would add 2 Force Push for some board control.
I would add Evade and Precise Strike.
I would add Deathlock to prevent healing

[sIKE]

I would add some armor, hate for him to fall to Wall of Thorns | Push | Push....

[Wildhorn]

Add Ring of Command, Dragonscale Hauberk, Leather Boots, Gloves of Strength.

[Zuberi]

I agree with everything said before. I would also add in some Curses, particularly [mwcard=MW1E27]Marked for Death[/mwcard] . Agony could also be useful. Besides Curses, you might consider Block to help protect your critters, and Regrowth to heal yourself.

To add to the Equipment, you should put on a Veterans belt. Between the 3 armor from boots and chest piece, and the 3 armor from Fortified position and Standard bearer, you should be pretty beefy.

You might include another Shift Enchantment or two to make sure Fortified Position stays where the action is, but it might be a better idea to include walls and pushes (as previously mentioned) to keep the action where Fortified Position is, lol.

[Zuberi]

Knockdown would be another good spell to include. Since you can't give the Skelies Falcon Precision, this would be a good way to get past Defenses, and it works on Guards and Flyers as well. Too bad it's not a command spell.

I feel like my current decision making may have been influenced subtly by your Wyrd Chronicles article -_- but these are good spells to have.

[Wildhorn]

Knockdown is not required if we get the command Precise Strike.

Glad you enjoyed it. They are good spells. I'm gonna try to rework the spellbook here is a little bit and then I'll post it so we can all look at it one last time before I go play this evening!

[Zuberi]

Looking through the cards I can not find a Precise Strike. I assume you are referring to [mwcard=MW1I18]Perfect Strike[/mwcard]? I don't use the strike cards often so I'm not too familiar with them and they don't spring to mind normally, but looking at it I think it would be adequate and cheaper than Knockdown.

I often enjoy your articles. I just hope you remember to write a detailed account of how this little project holds up tonight

I'll be taking notes.

Yes that is the one I meant (I never remember if it is Precision, Precise or Perfect Strike).

We are 4 points over. I'm going to be leaving for the store here in 20 minutes. Whatever brilliance we can find there would be fantastic!

[Wildhorn]

Remove 2 Reassemble. With Mort, no need to that many. Also, I think a Dragonscale Hauberk would be better than Storm Drake Hide

[Laddinfance]

Storm Drake is the one I can find at the moment, or it would be Dragonscale. I think removing a Reassemble is a good call, but personally I still think I want two. The other possibility would be, remove one Reassemble and one Teleport and add 2 extra Force Push?

I just realized I need to leave sooner than I thought so in the spirit of this endeavor I'll be taking Wild's suggestion. ADVENTURE!
