Me and rinc had our game yesterday. My thornlasher Druid was too much for the Brogan priestess, played by Rinc. Rinc was a bit short of time, so he just tried to be very agressive. He opened with Brogan, enchant him with life link, and then use the divine intervention to teleport him over to my place. Unfortunatly, that was not threat enough for me, since the druid has so much free life regeneration going on. After some surging waves and wall pushes, it was more or less over, and he conceded.

Thank you Rinc for a very short, but quite fun game!

[Tyrnan]

sorry i have to postpone our match my computer doesnt want to cooperate

Game will be today Wen 13.04. 18:00 UTC. Casters are welcome

Tyrnan's Necromancer emerged victorious from the battle against Wstrząśnięty's Bloodwave Warlord. Puddnhead recorded the match so everyone should be able to watch it in a few days.

A big thankyou to Wstrząśnięty for the fun game and also to Puddnhead  for recording and judging the match.

[Frozen]

Frozen vs BigL16 happened just now. It was a slugfest between a Malakai priest and Anvil throne warlord.

BigL opened with double battleforge, and I answered with battle forge and a mana crystal. After that we both armored up and I summoned my trusty Asyran defender as my holy avenger. We proceeded to then beat the shit out of each other, with an eventual ending! In case someone watches it later the result is below.

Frozen wins eventually, punching through toughness and defenses on the back of burns and holy avenger doing work.

DevilsVendetta and I played our game tonight. I brought an Anvil Throne Warlord to the table to meet DevilVendetta's Fire Wizard. The Wizard quickly established a strong economical advantage with crystals and discount rings, gearing up with two battleforges; meanwhile the Warlord rushed to his center to summon a Bloodwave Greatbow and a Dwarf Panzergarde. The orc archer made short work of the first battleforge, and a Ballista eventually helped taking out the second one. The Wizard brought a Gorgon Archer to counter the threat of the Greatbow, and managed to dish out weaks left right and center, but his conjurations could not be saved. The ballista went up in flames under the attacks of the Wizard and his Tower. A Bloodcrag Minotaur and a Goblin Alchemist joined the fray to deal with the Gorgon and the Wizard's Towers, as well as a second Greatbow, perched atop an Archer's Watchtower. The Minotaur eventually succumbed to the heat of the Wizard's damage barrier, but the Wizard was struggling to find a safe zone by then, with ranged attacks coming from every direction. The Alchemists slowly corroded his high armor, then the Warlord jumped in the melee, padded with armor and wielding his trusty Forge Hammer, to deliver several heavy blows to the Wizard. This proved too much for the bearded old man, who fell to the floor after 24 rounds of intense play.

Personal thoughts/highlights :
Bloodwave Greatbow is insanely good. With the AT Warlord's battle order, he gets Piercing + 4, making him a beast against conjurations or heavily armored targets.
I had a lot of fun casting Battlefury from a Helm of Command on my opponent to pop Nullifies. It felt so wrong and yet so right at the same time...
These high armor strategies make the games last forever... This one took 4h30 to complete, and we played it pretty fast. At one point I had 9 armor on my mage, which felt pretty silly (and yet it helped against a nasty fireball).
DevilsVendetta, you're a great opponent, and I had a lot of fun in our match. Thanks again!

I'll try to post my spellbook soon.

Why you don't like zap as a ethereal attack? Did I miss some thread where  the issue was discussed?

Yeah. This confused me too. The problem with the wizard really doesn't seem to be the fact that his arcane zap is ethereal, and I've never heard anyone even mention that idea until this tournament. What's up with that?
