[/spellbook]


so the main gist behind this build is to utilise the Warlords command ability and combo it with the horn and the helm of command. standard bearer on Thorg and fortify some key square and build a bit of a base and start briniging out the soliders.
Turn 1: 19 mana throw down Barracks and the Harmonize on it. 3 mana left
Turn 2: 12 mana and 2 on Barracks, barracks deploys goblin grunt 10 mana left QC mana flower 5 mana left cast ring of command/fortified position face down my square.  2 mana left.
Turn 3: 12 mana and 3 on barracks.  depending on what my opponent does, maybe reveal fortified position, deploy slinger/grunt or cast archers watchtower.

Harmonize on barracks? really?  ??? You could just cast a [mwcard=FWJ04]Garrison Post[/mwcard]. It costs the same amount of mana, costs 2 spellpoints less AND allows you to cast your minions in another zone.

One of my decks uses these openings (same deck):

T1: 19 barracks + construction yard 0
T2: 9+2+1 Run 2 + [mwcard=FWJ04]Garrison Post[/mwcard] close to the opponent starting zone 6
T3: 15+5+1 Deploy [mwcard=FWC15]Thorg, Chief Bodyguard[/mwcard] near the opponent + something

Second opening:
T1: 19 barracks + construction yard 0
T2: 9+2+1  [mwcard=MWSTX2FFQ04]General's Signet Ring[/mwcard] + [mwcard=FWJ04]Garrison Post[/mwcard] 3+2
T3: 12+5+1  Deploy Goblin without ring, cast goblin with ring + [mwcard=MWSTX2FFJ03]Altar of Domination[/mwcard] OR Ballista (You could also opt for big guys now)

I plan the same cards in both openings during the first 2 turns, so it allows me to wait and see what the opponent does. 

Anyway, harmonize and mana flower seem like cards that could be replaced with more of the warlord in-school stuff.  :)
Just my 2 cents.

When in doubt kill it with fire? I never doubt and crush them right away.

I really like Harmonise, I think its handy on a spawn point as it they both generally get left alone. But I guess in hindsight I should turf it since its 3sp (good 2 cents, worth) and I could chuck in another Garrison post (oh I don't have Forged in Fire or Conquest), another Grunt, hurl boulder or Life tree. Might also ditch the whirling strike to free up a bit more as its pretty expensive to be attached to the helm.
The mana flower is there to bump his channelling up to 10 as I think it can be a struggle with 9.

Thing is, mana generation from outpost had a cap of 3 mana. Harmonize pushing this to 4 mana. But i agree, that general signet ring is much better :)
