    I tried the combo tonight. For me it's a tad expensive (400pts at minimum) and you still rely on a good magic phase. I my game I think he died (lol...) in the 4 round in my turn. Up until that he had a mediocre first turn, rolled snake eyes in the second turn in winds of magic so that was hilarious and then I finally managed to rolled something like 6 +2 and channel 1, so 9 dice to me vs his 6 (he didn't channel).

    From here on he could dish out a ton of spells which also resulted in 1 dispel scroll use from my opponnets and getting off both mystifying miasma and iceshard blizzard. In total I think I tried to make the mentioned + wyssans wildform (got dispelled by scroll), a boosted fireball he dispelled with dice and I managed to use the last dice to dispel a iceshard blizzard on my own unit.

    So in total he managed 4 spells, which all got off and made one dispel with his last dice. That's a lot of stuff.

    I can definatetly see why anywone would want, but as I said, a lame roll with winds of magic aint gonna do you any good. Personally I'm more of a naked slann type or just high magic, but maybe I'll use this some more. It'st stille xpensive though and it sort of limits your oldblood ..

    Pintaco, that's why I take a forbidden rod caddy. On your snake eyes then turns into a 6 vs 1 magic phase.

    That way, on that phase you really need it you can grab 3-4 more power dice.

    I often run an L1 forbidden rod caddy and and L2 scroll caddy and backup wizard, usually heavens on each. Extra copies of iceshard can't go wrong.

    Edit - you can't dispel augments/hexed, so when you said you used your last dice to knock out iceshard ... Can't do that (only rip).

    Just so we're clear, you can dispel them "as normal" but you can't dispel them on your turn. The only spells you can knock out after the fact are Remains in Play.

    Yes I realize that. Last game I got both mystifying miasma AND iceshard blizzard off on a horde of greatswords, both dispelled in the following magic phase because we misunderstood the dispel rule. Those two spells would've made quite a difference since the GW horde only could hit on 6 lol

    our club leader was adamant that you could even when we all showed him evidence that you couldnt dispell augments it makes such a difference to the game
