One thing I noticed neither of you commented on was protecting your treebonded tree.
I know that a lot of players focus on protecting the Treebonded tree using a guardian Angel. What are your ideas about that and what other creatures have you used to protect the tree and is it worth it with against all mages?
Yea, there was sooooo much to cover that we didn't get to talk about some things as much as I'd want. As for the [mwcard=MWSTX1CKC06]Guardian Angel[/mwcard]? Well I have a lot of mixed feelings about her. She's a full action to cast, and your mage is the only one who can cast her. She's a full 12 mana for something that is completely defensive in nature. However, she has one job, block things, and she does that superbly. She can keep herself going without support for a very long time.
All of that said, I've moved away from using her. One [mwcard=MW1I12]Force Push[/mwcard] and my tree is vulnerable again. In fact a cunning player can find all sorts of ways to make her a doorstop. My personal favorite is [mwcard=MW1J22]Tanglevine[/mwcard]. She has to guard to be useful, and that is when you can just root her to the spot.
Personally I have found the best way to protect your Treebond is to go on the offensive. If you put pressure on your opponent then they have to react and it will take them longer to get to your tree. Also, if someone wants to destroy your tree, often times they are more than able regardless of what you do. That is why I try to take advantage of it while I have it.
