How are you planning to kill the enemy mage? It looks very good defensively but what incentive does the enemy mage have to approach all those enchanted rooted creatures? I just see this playing out with your stuff being ranged attacked from a safe distance, a game of tag with the enemy mage where he stays out of reach, or him teleporting you into a mob of his own monsters away from the safety of yours.

I think this problem could be fixed by throwing in 1 or 2 bloodspine walls and a teleport of your own. Use the vinelashers to pull the enemy through the walls damage barrier and bring them to your enchanted Togorah. The teleport being either an escape for if you get grabbed or to grab the enemy mage.

Easy, guys.. I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I win Mage Wars!

well the mage has to come to me in the first place if they want to teleport me out. unless they have teleport on a Thoughtspore which is the only case. or even a Huginn, Raven Familiar. but these are the only times I see this. i can make my creatures sprout up any where in the map so you can't run. the only answer is to attack me.

Teleport has a range of 2 which means your opponent can use it safely away from any zone where you group a lot of monsters. Being able to sprout anywhere though nice is a bit time consuming if you want good positioning. Your opponent should have ample time to build up a counter to anything that may summon nearby without having to risk opposing the enchanted Togorah. This is the strategy I would use against this book but I do not speak for everyone.

all of the creatures aside from Togorah cost only 6 with the ring so cheap creatures that are a hinderance. is good and even if you are within 2 spaces you can move me 2 spaces. with the current board setup i could have my creatures within 1 space of every zone to grab and hold your mage.

Teleport can move you max 4 zones.
Akiro, I have never prayed to you before. No one will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that one stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Akiro... so grant me strength! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

When playing a druid, i find the Leaves ring not so usefull, since most of my creatures are casted from the vine tree. I usually favour the enchanter's ring, if any.

I also agree with maverick that somo more mobile creatures could be great. Raptor Vines i think are a must for the druid, i will try to include them.

I find usufull to include some more attacks (at least a couple acid balls and a couple surging wave, but pretty cheap and usefull).  Also, i think you get too few incantations for both mage wands... no dispel, no teleport, no force push... I would change the defend for a rouse the beast. Roust the beast can be used to set a creature recently casted to defend, but also used for agression.

You can get the points from the 3 wands, the tripple costing Gauntleths of strenght, and some other out of school spells (vampirism, main wings, at least them can be sustituted for cheaper spells). I like to include dragonscale armour and/or elemental cloack in the druids, in order to get some defence against fire, which your creatures are weak against.

Just my opinions ;)
