Last night I tested a deck that I think, after I fine tune some things, might thus far be my favorite build to date. It was a priestess equipment build that also used 4 hands of Bim-Shalla. This build has it all... Massive melee power (12 attack dice and the possibility to daze stun when using her staff) and access to healing spells for low cost. If you really wanted to go crazy, you could include 6 hands of bim shalla for 14 attack dice. Couple that with a battle fury for two consecutive attacks, and your opponent will be reeling. Not to mention, the hands can be used to boost Armor and to heal. IMHO They are an amazing asset to any build, even the warlock who must pay triple for them.
The one glaring flaw I found is that most of your over-the-top hitting power comes from the hands...which are delicate, and hard to protect. Once your opponent sees this, they will go after them and destroy them. A tactic to counter this might be to include a few knights/gray angels and put them on guard in the zones that contain your conujurations...it would at least slow down your opponet destroying them. I planned to do this, but then got overly aggressive, and sent my creatures into melee... :pinch:
Gonna make some adjustments/tweaks to the spell book and try it again asap.
Anyone else tried this build yet?
