[Zuberi]

Really does look like light vs darkness. Too bad the holy orders are lacking their order of Malakai. Hope they can make due without him. Where do I place my bets on the winner?

[silverclawgrizzly]

Twas a basically good round for the righteous!

Johns tried and tested Force Master defeated the Straywood Beast Master of Rob!
Millies Necromancer was able to bring down Kianas Priestess!
Joes Priestess barely defeated Joshs Warlock!
Brians Priestess slimly bested Als Warlock!

The Araxian Crown is reeling but Darkfenne is surging! The Asyran Church is also apparently fighting itself!

Can the might of Asyra halt Forcemaster aggression?

[silverclawgrizzly]

Actually they tied lol.

[silverclawgrizzly]

Final Results!

John takes 1st!!!
Joe takes 2nd!!!!
Josh takes 3rd!!!!
Millie takes 4th!!!!

John and Josh tied!!!! However John beat his opponents by KO where as Joe beat his previous matches by time. Thus John wins by total points!

[Lord0fWinter]

Thanks for the report!

[silverclawgrizzly]

Our scoring system was:

Win by KO opponent mage= 3 points.
Win by time= 2 points.
Tie= 1 point.
Loss= Pity.

Thus on the last turn of the Joe VS John match John managed to take out Joes Priestess with a Double Strike that rolled above average. However Joes remaining minions destroyed Johns Priestess immediately afterwards.

Epic. Friggin. Match.
Epic. Friggin. Tournament.

[Zuberi]

How did his minions kill his opponent if he was already dead?

[silverclawgrizzly]

To our understanding if when a Mage is out of it the round continues until all creatures have acted.

[Zuberi]

Nope. When a mage dies, he loses at the end of that action. This makes ties very rare, though still possible. Usually by damage barrier.

In the Official Mage Wars Rule and Codex Supplement on Page 11:

Mage Death
Once a Mage dies, he cannot perform any further actions, pay mana costs, cast spells, make a counterstrike, etc.
Any enchantments and equipment attached to himself are immediately destroyed. Other objects he controls in
the game remain in play.
If a Mage dies, continue play until the end of that Phase (e.g. the Upkeep Phase, or the current creature's Action
Phase.) If all remaining Mages die before the end of that Phase, the game is a draw.
Example: In a two-player game, a Wizard with 1 remaining health and enchanted with Magebane casts an
attack spell on the enemy Warlock to kill him. The Warlock is killed and the Wizard will die from the Magebane,
and the game will be a draw.
