Eye in the Sky - Forcemaster

With 2 dissolve spores in the air i would probably just abandon an equipment strat. That limits the fms options. Half of your potential spores are occupied in the same capacity. Dunno if it's ideal, even if it did work once.

Well what exactly was I supposed to do? Each round he will most likely kill a spore. So that wand will never go away.

Have you seen my match vs enti? That might change your mind.

You CONCEDE when your mage has ZERO damage What kind of a player are you ?

Where was the Vampiress on R2 ? You put no pressure on the Warlord at all.
Stick a Bear Strength Vampiress in his face and throw a wall in front of the Ballista to cut LoS to his Ballista AND Battle Forge and he will have other things to deal with.

You're just letting him pick on the Spores uncontested like sitting ducks and you don't adjust your play.

What's stopping you from pulling out Galvitar and going after him with your FM as well ?
What mage is better at dishing out damage than a FM ?
Bring out the Bear Strengths, Critical Strikes, Mongoose Agility if necessary.
You still have a Forcefield/Arcane Ward in your book.

If he brings out a Golem, Force Pull the mage and throw a wall between them. Keep up the pressure with the Vampiress. This game is far from over ... and you QUIT ?

If this game proves anything, it proves that you don't run this book very well as you don't seem to be aware of what options you have in there. You fail to put pressure on the opponent, read the board situation and adjust your play to deal with it.

Never said I was any good at applying pressure. Or, at all.

A lot more of my games end with no dmg on anything. I play really passively and lose as a result of that.

   It is called Mage Wars. Aggression is kind of a requirement. The trick is knowing when your passive activities like casting creatures, gearing up or whatever needs to change to aggression to go after your opponent. That is situational and changes with every game. But reviewing the game afterwards, you can generally pinpoint where it should have happened.

Hey Borg, relax man. He's a kid. Im not devaluing him in any way because i play against him a lot, and he's getting better,  but not all of the heads here on the forums are adults. Ease up a bit.

[Beldin]

Agreed. I realised this too.

@RDD I am not ignoring your pms. I will get round to answering them all.

   Hey Romeo, if you are playing together often, perhaps during the match if there is a way you could communicate via some sort of chat tt would be helpful to explain certain game state points during the game. You could explain what you would observe if you were the opponent and share your thoughts from your side as well. I found it was very helpful to new players to help them gain perspective and recognize issues that may not be apparent to newer players.

Well recently he has not had to do that as much. I should have beat him last night, but my surging wave did not slam him and he murdered my poor grizzly. And my vine snapper took like 5 attacks to kill his forge.

   The vagaries of the randomness. It happens. Good luck in future games. The best thing you can do to improve, is to not get discouraged, and keep playing. You will improve with time. Just learn from each game as you go.

@Borg: I appreciate that you are trying to be helpful, but your post came off as rather rude and insulting.

i have not viewed the match being discussed, but the meye fm is probably one of the more challenging opponents to face at the moment. even for very experienced players. i know i am still mulling over how to go against them myself.

I would think a wizard or holy mage with their strong Ethereal attacks would have an edge in knocking the eye out of the sky. Of course the eye is often backed by thought spores and they're easy to knock out of the sky if you can close in.
