Mage Wars - Straywood Beastmaster

Straywood Beastmaster (SBM) is on of the 4 mages from the Mage Wars core set by Arcane Wonders which came out in 2012.



Quick Summoning:
Normally a Mage has to spend a full round to summon a creature, but SBM can move/attack or use the Quick cast (QC) instead.

PET: Makes tiny small creatures a lot better. Even now in 2018 im still not certain how to use this ability. Do you want to use it as much as possible? Use it on Level 1 creatures and put those in the front line, when they die summon a new pet. Or but it on a larger creature - something as simple as a Timer Wolf becomes amazingly good with the Pet ability, but even level 3+ creatures are used as pets.

Battle Skill: +1 Melee

Beastmaster should work very well fighting in the front line with his creatures. High health, +1 Melee and his pet get an extra dice if in the same zone. His ability to Quick summon means he doesnt need a spawnpoint as bad as everybody else, but its not a bad idea to go with Lair anyway.

A few points: Some of the beat MW players in the world have said "i found that small creatures, doesn't work well in MW" and "Swarm isn't viable"

In 2014 Alexander West took everybody with surprise winning Gen-Con with his Straywood Aviary.

I will be back with more on the Straywood Aviary and the SBM in general.
