Love the tunnels idea, if only there was a way to have more outposts! :)

I like the War spells the most and holy the second-most. That is probably bias on which mages i like. The only ones i don't love are unstable imp and bind spirit (just because there are so few incorporeal creatures to bind) Magma golem is iffy too.

I'm wondering what to cast reinforce on right now.

Yes, the playtest Title was Mending Angel.

I'm really digging the Reinforcement, Life Link, and Hidden Tunnels. I could see all three of them getting some serious play. Could you imagine putting Life Link on a Bridge Troll? Oh man they'd be healing 6 a turn! I also like the thematic reverse nature it has with Death Link.

I could see the Magma Golem being a hoot to pull out now and then as well.

Magma golem will be super powerful with the adramelech warlock against creature heavy builds. With adramelch's torment, moving burns, adramelech's touch...

I don't think the messenger will be too strong but I'm not sure how it works when you summon more than one.

I really like life link though which will combo well with intercept guards making your guardian angel even harder too kill.

I don't know what too think about the bind spirit but since there are no good incorporeal creatures in the game so far.

No nature spells? more war and fire? meeehhh...

The art is fantastic.

the link to heal it´s very powerfull with the angels of kumanjaro they can heal 5 points, angels are now very powerfull, worried with this card.

Guardian Angel is good with extra healing, but that was already true with Regrowth, and frankly it's not like they were hard to keep around to begin with.

Stacking Bridge Troll to 6 is pretty cool, but remember that it hurts your mage. The cost makes Sardonyx look cheep!
I can take the fun out of anything. It's true; here, look at this spreadsheet.

Sardonyx quit life, this do damage that a holy mage can heal easyly with a regrowth, you heal 3 damage for only one damage.

Of course, it will not last very long if it has too many burns. More than ~3 and your opponent will likely take in down in 1 round. It requires a careful balancing act to keep it alive and dangerous.

I'm surprised no one has yet to comment on the exploding pig demon. He's hilarious!

He is immune to flame damage, so explode won't do anything to him

The flying pig demon isn't immune to Flame. The demon himself explodes. That's the hilarious part!

Sorry i totally misread what you said.. thought you meant using explode on a magma golem who had stacked up a bunch of burns.  (which was a great counter to an early playtest version of him!)
