Purge or No Purge

A very important question. While it is really nice, you have to watch out for transfusion tricks. Also, aren't 2 more dispels and 1 seeking just better? More options, useful in more games.

most of the time when you want to mass remove something it is curses. So use remove curse. Only problem might be the cost, but it also leaves your own stuff like rhino hide.

So most of the time i would prefer more dispel and remove curses over purge magic

Thinking about this question is Heresy ... and Heresy must be purged at all costs!
Akiro, I have never prayed to you before. No one will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that one stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Akiro... so grant me strength! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

I also prefer remove curse + dispel in most cases... except when I play wizard.

Mostly I run a Purge AND the 2 Dispels (Or Dispel &  Disperse) and Seeking Dispel...

Probably 90-95% of my books have that as a bare minimum, most with Purify and Remove Curse on top, and often more Dispel effects...
