Well, those stories about 1 hp left or "all blanks" on a nine dice throw must have nearly every true practicioner of mage wars. There are lot of moments which i will probably remember until the days, when i will become too old to hold spellbook but still had enough strength to tell stories, and pass those stories unto my grandchildren.
First story i will tell them, will be how i first met Mage Wars. How the idea of "whole deck in hands" strucked me like a pillar of light could hit a zombie crawler (+2 vs nonliving) and how i was stunned.
My second story will be, how i completly remember all cards from core set, completly absorb whole 50 pages of rules and how i win my first battle.
My third story will be about how i became ambassador (i am a bad ass odour?) and had my first demo, convinced first apprentice to become a full mage and create a great tournaments and leagues.
My fourth story will be about friends, honorable enemies, great advesaries and one nemesis which i couldnt beat despite the fact how hard i try and despite the fact, that oponents i beat, beat also my nemesis.
My fifth story will be my last, but this story doesnt happend yet. So please, bear with me. There is more then 15 years which need to happen until i would be able to tell it...
Until then, be afraid of an alternate necromancer
