Travel Log: Ambush

The problem with being too visible to any of the planes is that the locals seem to take notice of you and when they do they tend to be ready when you return. This proved to be true the last time I visited Lorwyn it seems my last encounter with the Kithain has reached Gaddock Teeg, cenn of the clachan of Kinsbaile, who is one of those leaders.



Gaddock is all about giving his side an advantageous playing field. White and green are famed for their strong, low-cost creatures but are vulnerable to spells that can destroy large numbers of small critters at once, such as Damnation and Molten Disaster. And, of course, a well-placed Demonfire or Dragonstorm can ruin anyone's day pretty quickly. Gaddock shuts those cards down, forcing opponents to fight on your terms. Creatureless decks may find their efforts particularly hampered, though any deck that depends on a powerful or expensive spell might find a hard time of it. Kithkin enjoy a relatively simple life; Gaddock is a fine example of putting that culture to practical purpose.

On the otherhand, it wasn't simple when another mage I encountered was able several Demigods of Revenge during one of out matches. It seems the Demigod might be vulnerable to my countering magics but that would only delay me while its brothers were coming up on me from behind. I barely escaped with my life from that encounter.



The worst battle would probably be the fact an enemy mage was able to cut me off from my own source of power. He managed to cut my access to my Sanity Grind spells and I was unable to find another means of defending myself. Being too eager likewise made it difficult as I left myself defenseless without by counterspells.


It seems I have rework my spellbook in order to catch them again off guard.
