Druid rules question.

[Hellsgate9999]

I have 2 questions.    During Deployment you can put down a vine token in a space adjacent to another vine token.  when you have a vine tree out and you spend one mana to put another one out do they come out at the exact same time?

 Example  do i have to put both of them down adjacent to an existing vine token? Or can i put one down and then the other adjacent to the first?


Second question.     

During Deployment can i place a vine token down and then use said vine token to cast a seeding pod from the samara tree?  Or do i have to cast it on a vine token that already exist on the board before placing down another vine token??     Thank you

Vine tokens are placed in a "one at a time" manner.  I believe they technically fall under the "simultanious actions" rule, so you get to choose the order they resolve, which lets you place them one by one.  So you can always expand forward with them if you are able to play them from multiple sources.

Same deal with Samara Tree, if all of these effects happen during the Deployment phase, they happen at the same time and so as teh controller you can choose they order they play out in.

So i can sprout two vines in two adjacent zones over to say an enemy mage and then use my tree that sprouts plants and sprout a Plant critter on my vine in the mages square?

doesn't that make the druid a tiny bit op?   Or am i under thinking this?

As stated you chose the order to resolve your deployments. Remember each player does the deployments in initiative order but must do any deploys they choose to. The game does not go back to ask if each players more than once each round.

If you want you could vine vine then pod

Yes but often it is better to [mwcard=MW1J22] Tanglevine[/mwcard], [mwcard=DNJ10] Stranglevine[/mwcard],[mwcard=DNJ06] Nightshade Lotus[/mwcard], or [mwcard=DNJ02] Corrosive Orchid[/mwcard]. One of my favorite creature to  vine cast is [mwcard=DNC06] Kralathor, The Devourer[/mwcard].

doesn't that make the druid a tiny bit op?
You still need LoS to the vine you are casting from

[Hellsgate9999]

So whats the best strategy against a druid?      Walls i assume?    Does anything else block LOS beside walls?

I agree that vines are awesome and can spread quickly. In my opinion, opponents who knows how to position themselves well in the arena are the hardest enemies!

Also, the druid has many rooted plants, it is very common to cast a [mwcard=DNC21] Thornlasher[/mwcard] followed by a [mwcard=DNC20] Vine Snapper[/mwcard]. So, teleporting Thornlasher is very sad for the druid.

Additionally, a Warlock equipped with [mwcard=MW1Q14] Lash of Hellfire[/mwcard] can cause a huge damage to the Druid's plants!
