Ben Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I thought I would add some TO's commentary on why I selected this rules pack. The Masters should be the toughest event of the year to win. There are no easy games at the masters and I wanted to the rules pack to reflect that, I wanted a pack that would incorporate the hardest parts of the game to master, while also giving the players the most amount of information to prepare for the event. I chose to run from a single realm as this would remove any complications around some of the more powerful realm rules and spells. To balance this out I made sure that we would be playing a range of the trickier battle plans. Players have full knowledge of what they will be playing and can plan for this, but they also now need to bring a list that is flexible enough to win the likes of Relocation Orb and Star Strike, Places of Arcane Power and Total Commitment. One very powerful realm spell that has been talked about at length is Inferno Blades. I decided that I would not shy away from letting this in the event. Instead, everyone would know that it was to be played, in which round and should be able to plan for that. On the subject of soft scores I have added a few simple rules. Be nice. Bring a painted army that looks like an army and make sure you play to the times. If that happens every one will get top marks! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people might disagree with it but I think we can all understand it. And understanding is key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWilson Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yeah I totally agree with Mephisto, if you lay out why you make X decision people can disagree but they can understand why.
