[Kelanen]

All of the cards in the set will be up on YouTube by the end of the month--Including Alfiya and the Leviathan.

Alfiya is up!

Would Harmonizing Crusade Banner be practical?

Would Harmonizing Crusade Banner be practical?

I'd be very wary of it - it's just asking to be fireballed...

If you're plan is to play it in your starting zone, and protect it on turn 1-2 with a Guardian angel, then maybe... But bear in mind that Harmonize doesn't show a profit until 5 turns after it's cast - that's a long time for a one-shot disposable banner...

[Brian VanAlstyne]

Depends what you want from the Banner. If it's two big creatures mid-game like I've done with some combination of Brogan/Aurora/Victorian Griffin/Westlock then Harmonizing is a good idea. And the few games I've played...it hasn't been a target at all, but if you're worried about it being a target, Guardian Angel, Noble Vanguard (I believe this has intercept) or just add the Paladin's shield/Cloak to give yourself intercept and the ability to guard after your action.

I've actually based my Paladin build around both the Temple & Crusade Banner and it seems to not put me at a huge disadvantage.

[Kelanen]

Just remember that you are spending 16 mana on Harmonise+Guardian Angel, on something that is supposed to generating you mana, not costing it. Now, you will get to reuse the angel later, but that's a big hit to your manaflow early on...

I only think harmonize is good on the temple of Asyra and maybe pentagram, because they need 2 mana to spawn a creature.

Gate to Voltari require 3 mana to cast a creature, and many mages don't cast 2 spells each turn (many meditate or attack for full action, casting only in quickcast), so it needs harmonize more than any other spawnpoint (The temple of asyra could use a cleric).

[Halewijn]

Yes, true! My mistake.

Cheers to the folks at Arcane Duels for putting out these review videos.
they have given me new excitement for this game, and I want to play it more.
This set looks really good for a lot of Mages. I have enjoyed your thoughts.

[Halewijn]

I think it's a shame that the kraken does not have the uncontainable traith.

[ringkichard]

If it did, you wouldn't be able to...
Release The Kraken!

Baddum Tish!

If you'd used a Pirates of the Caribbean link I'd have recommended you for a banana!

[ringkichard]

... I can quit any time I want.

Alright guys I hope you enjoyed the Review for Paladin vs Siren!

I think we have all the videos released now. If I missed one in the front page let me know and I'll put it in.

For now I'm going to create a poll and would love all your input. The poll is centered around what you all think would be best for the next review video format. Here are the two ways I could see us doing the next review video

--------------------------------------------Poll in question -------------------------------------------------------
1) We do individual videos for each card. That was how we did this review. The idea is that if you like a specific card, or perhaps have no idea why it was created, than you can check out a quick blurb and hopefully gain some inspiration.

2) We do sectioned videos for each category. A category I am defining as types of spells like Incantations, or Equipment. Each card will probably get less specific time, but will more likely contain combo card ideas. There will also be significantly less videos on the topic
