Since Arcane Duels has shown off the new forcemaster set on their youtube channel, I thought I would try to take those cards shown in the video and build a deck using them. The forcemaster is probably one of
my weakest mages and hardest mages to build a book with. Her style is so different from any other mage. But these new cards make me want to build forcemaster books and I thought I would take a shot and share what I came up with. The cards from the set can be seen in the Arcane Duels videos:

The name is cheezy but its the best play on word title i could think of
This is a jack of all trades, master of none kind of book. I do have a few ideas for books using these cards that revolve around a specific strategy, but this one is just a mishmash of a lot of the new cards and is made to outlast an early agro and let my force creatures go (wave 1)and advance my mage and stalker mid game (wave 2).
Start off with battleforge to equip up, use the dissipate creatures to press an early attack through minds eye, bring out the stalker mid game and rush in with the forcemaster.
The guardian would be used when i am about to advance my attack so i can have a guard if i need one. lesser invisibility is to be used on the thoughtspore with an incantation. I believe since the card says it goes away after the creature makes an attack, I can keep the thoughspore invisible for 2 turns while it does its thing (using an incantation), 3 turns if I use the headdress of stasis.
The enchantments are mainly used to outlast a rush while my weenies are out and to play games with the opponent using fun mind spells (chant of rage, lullaby, slumber, confusion, stumble, fumble, reverse attack, telekinetic bomb, lesser invisibility, mind seize).
I have a ton of equipment so a second forge is most likely needed but i got to find 4 points to squeeze one in. Agony is also on my radar since most of the force creatures have aegis 1 or 2, 2 les dice wont hurt
it would also be nice to help my mage against the attacks too.
With the new cards, something I have been thinking about is 1 mind control vs 2 or 3 mind seize. mind seize is only for 1 turn so there is no upkeep, it only cost 2 sbps instead of 6 i believe, but is very situational!
The cobra is used only as a dissipate farm for the orb or siphon energy if i really need it. But siphon energy is best used for the bomb
and the scarabs are for if i have zombies on the other side of the board.
The force armor seems nice for 1 sbp and 4 armor but if it ends up not being a shining card then another leviathan scale armor will take its place.
Anyways, thats what I have so far. Check out the youtube videos that Arcane Duels posted showcasing the cards and get excited to start building books for the Forcemaster!
