Now of course... the team to beat is Necroblade and Deroche!

Go get em!

Good to hear! MegaSilver and I will team up, then, naturally.

I'll bet that the final match will be between both teams.

Muahaha!

Is there any chance we can switch armies each round? Gordon and I discussed it as a possibility so everyone (i.e. GenCon attend-ies) could see a variety of options in use and get a feel for which build they might run at GenCon. Thoughts?

As Paul pointed out to me, we will be able to figure that out by viewing our opponent's armies and see how we can use them more effectively than them. (Okay, he didn't say the last part, but that's what I think.)

Another question, can one person bond with figures in their partner's army, and does stuff like Raelin's Aura effect the other partner?

Nope.

Most cards say "...you control" and so your figures won't benefit from your teammate's army. Find cards that say "friendly" instead and you'll get the benefit.

A great example would be Marcus Decimus Gallus. He can boost the attack of any friendly adjacent soldier, so if your partner has MDG, your 10th or your Warforged or your Drake would get the attack bonus, but not the move bonus.

Edit: Or your 4th Mass, Airborne Elite, Sacred Band, or Einar Imperium (I dare you to run those).

Good discussion of this topic here.

[Major Q23]

My Brother, Nelson, will be my partner for the tournament. He has come with me before so you might recognize him. This will be his first tournament so I'm really interested to see how we do. No matter what happens this looks like it will be a great tournament and some good practice for GenCon.

Map post on the first page updated, but still need to know who is bringing what maps!

Well, I'm assuming Megasilver is showing up and bringing his two maps, so...

Just need someone to bring Fossil and Burial Marsh.

Because it's Team Format, we won't need all the maps, but it'll be nice for everyone to play on something different each round.

Still unsure, as my dad made the claim we have work to do at that time. But I doubt it.

Root for me guys!

I've got Invasion set up here, still, so I'll dismantle that and bring it again.

Anyone (Deroche?) free to practice tomorrow (like at Bluegrass Magic)?

Been up all night playing poker, but sure, I can practice in the afternoon...you know, when I wake up.

And Viideosayg already called dibs on Invasion.
