Action Markers a Limit?
« on: March 21, 2013, 08:23:03 AM »
Playing as the Warlord, I quickly filled the board with low cost creatures. I ran out of action markers and wonder if they represent any kind of component limit in the game, or can you use pennies or any other substitute for action markers?

They do not represent a limit and pennies make a great substitute.

So do all my bottle caps from during the game....Heineken caps with its red star makes for a very recognizable action marker. :)

You are an inspiration. Or to be more precise, you gave me an idea for a new drinking variation of Mage Wars. I don't have a name for it yet, maybe you can help me with that.

In this variation the only difference from standard Mage Wars is the action markers are shot glasses. During the upkeep phase you ready your action markers by filling them with your favorite liquor. The quick action marker is only filled half full. Whenever you activate a creature you drain the shot glass. The empty shot glass indicates the creature has been used. Victory is still achieved by defeating the enemy mage.

Well what do you think? I'm guessing that swarm strategies will end up with the lowest winning percentage.

And for a name....Mage Pours.

Mage pours, that's awesome.

The solo warlock and forcemaster need all the help they can get. The beastmaster and warlord players better be wealthy or bring some cheap booze or they'll go broke. Then there's the liver transplant they're going to need.

Ill have to bring the "Tinschlager". Its kinda like Goldschlager, but you take cheap cinnamon schnapps and drop in little pieces of balled up tin foil. Its the drink of champions in my house.

I like the sweet stuff better than it likes me. Never was much for shots of tequila. I like my scotch old, on the rocks, and sipped. I guess that leaves me with JD.

I prefer playing with low monster counts.  This variant would suck for me :(

Good god.  I can see by round 5 of this 'varient' you'd lose the ability to read.

Lemme guess, vomiting at any point immediately causes you to take 5 critical damage...  :)

But on a positive note you may pay the mana cost and remove 1 poison condition marker of your choice.

It would probably be best to remove a rot gut condition.
