Also, I typically spend the first couple of turns trying to set this up. If you can go through a couple of discard/redraws without using any cards while maneuvering into position, you can load up your hand with a fair amount of high cards/masks then when they blunder into range and near an easy to hit model you unleash the hounds lol. You can get at least 2-3 straight casts, plus more with overpowers. With a decent card and a stone against their card only, you should be able to beat them by enough to be even or + on the damage flip, then + or ++ with the essence of power. This gives you a fair chance of severe as is, plus you can cheat it to get severe. Entire teams disappear if you pull it off.

What I do with Rasputina is just nuke the heck out of the other team... don't target Perdita, or any other master for that matter. Use the essence of power, and a stone, while targetting some hapless non master bystander. Since they cannot use a stone,and have a much lower defense, You should end up at least + or maybe ++ on the flip which may net you the double blast severe, if not you can cheat it to get it. Don't forget you 0 activation +1 damage power from another ice creature as well. Use the templates to hit Perdita and whoever else is nearby which she now takes 3(4+1icepower-2evasive) damage I think I'm at work so no book handy with no defense against it. She only has 8 wounds, you shou?d be able to pull this off as it will be very difficult for them to keep all other characters over 100mm away from their master the whole game. With casting master you can do it 3x in one turn if your lucky. I've decimated almost entire teams in one turn once they make the range and spacing mistake lol. Works even better against non evasive masters.

I think so. I know a lot of people myself included are getting burned out on having to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars not to mention the painting time just to play a game, for instance another majorly popular games company's systems. Add to that the fact that just about every time a new book comes out there is a new flavor of the month that means you have to buy more new stuff to remotely compete, or possibly even switch armies lol. Don't even get me started on the release of the "make you buy even more stuff to play ridiculous big battles with the table packed solid with tanks" system from them a few years back. Why not just roll off handfuls of dice at each other it would have been easier and just about as much fun. The small skirmish type game has many advantages - easy access from a money and painting time aspect, fast and easy to setup and transport, manageable game play times, much more room to actually maneuver on the tabletop, etc yet still provides the visual appeal, strategy and tactics aspect that most people play miniatures to get.

The group I game with has a 3 color minimum rule, primer not counting lol. We also don't allow much proxy action - it has to be some sort of reasonable representation and a miniature at least. Conversion and substitution are ok, particularly with malifaux since official models aren't made for everything, but no salt shakers for example lol. To us the whole point of a miniatures game versus say a boardgame is the visual appeal. Not much point if the table is full of primed white models and salt shakers...
