You can also buy M1 effigy from wyrd. They're around 10 usd each.

Having 2 overlaping aura of luck doesn't change anything... If you're on a budget, I would go in this order Mannequin Carrion Shadow Intrepid Arcane Wicked Doll Lucky

WW is way better if you're looking for a terrorize package IMO.

5ss is too low imo. I think the double beater build is a trap. You'll win by attrition anyway. Also Teddy is weak. I would go for more utility and ideally 7 or 8 as model in this slot. Either Dorian, Serena or Vasilissa (always nice with 2 dolls). If you really need a beater, Hina will do the trick.

If change fate was not Ennemy only, I would happily play him in Levihorse.

It will be confusing since the Story keyword will have an actual Sloth... My favorite bassist feel robbed 🤣. Can't wait to see the actual mini, a lot of those newcomers have the potential to become awesome figs!

Declaring Dora into arc seems the way to go for purple right now. But I don't have any games against Witness yet. So we'll see I guess 😀

Interesting. Area control is definitely a thing in Malifaux (not sure T2 is the best at it, but your thinking seems sound)... Area Denial not really. It's so easy to counter, a lot of crew don't even care about it and it's hard to setup. I wouldn't bother. T2 may still be a control master... And it's probably why she's weak. It's so hard to play control in this game...

Mah Tucket is basically Guts but with a huge spoon instead of a sword (also she's a chubby green yelling lady gremlins but who care, she'll do the killing). She has a really versatile keyword and is probably one of the more beginner friendly master that can still scale up as you grow as a player. Give her some love (but not too much if you don't want to find yourself with a dozen of little green monsters of your own).

I would love to see what a in real life tournament with a chess clock look like. I think it would actually be easier to manage (your less likely to forget a big ticking clock than pressing a key on your keyboard). I think all high level tournament should use a chess clock. But, in my meta, we have a lot of new(ish) players and most of them have a hard time finishing a game in 2h30... The clock would be a huge burden for them. Finally, I think a system where the clock is stop in the cleanup step is better. Thank for sharing.

Before titles, it was probably the best deep Scheming option for Dreamer. It still does that very well. Beside that, I like it in Marcus (be careful, when it has an upgrade, it doesn't have any way to get rid of it by itself). I don't see the point in Dora (Adze is just better in a similar role) or anywhere else OOK.

They're too expensive. Hinna is amazing in Dora... The rider is situationally good as is the Emissary.

Yep... For me when I referred to "Dora" it is Dora 1... But as I said, it's quite good with Dora Titles since she can switch one of the condition Dorian give.

I don't see why it wouldn't work since one model can be affected by multiple misery aura through his activation (the one per activation is for the model generating the aura not the model being affected by it)... So gaining distracted proc Dorian misery than gaining burning proc Dora misery. It's the same thing when you use Candy Burn out trigger on her glimpse of insanity attack. You can get 2 pings if you have an other Woe generating a misery aura and Candy within 6".

There's 2 conditions being given.

I actually like his attack action. Its 2 ping damage or move 4" with Dora and Him + 2 nasty condition. It also shines is with Dora 2 where she can switch the condition. Fussy company give you Boring convo + Losing interest wich is quite nice. Especially if you move your target in to Poltergeist aura. But I agree this is not why you're hiring him. It's still way better than some other utility models attack. I especially like the fact that it's a 1" attack... I guess having a cigarette holder give you more reach than a cigar 🤣. Yes.

@Azahul This is anecdotal at best...We're not trying to assess the power level of the interaction, but it it works at all rule wise. It shouldn't. I respect the MWS comity hard work (and ruling for their own tournament)... But I think they hit and miss on this one.

The option C is how I see it working. It definitely should be FAQ that way... Even righ now, I'm not convinced by the explanation that all the actions are transfer to the new rat king... As far as I'm aware of, the rules are not explicit on how it should works and I'm not buying the supposed RAW interpretation over a common sense interpretation.

In my (still limited) experience, I love him in mobility pool and Minion Focus pool. He's also good at denying assassinate and still fine at scoring it. My top scheme with him 1. Detonate 2. Catch and release 3. Break through 4. Assassinate

Yes!

You need 2x 9 mask or higher to do this with Vasi... Unlikely. You need WW if you want to have a reliable summoner. Even with her, you'll probably need to cheat and use at least 1SS... It's not as simple as +6ss. I still like the double sumlin on t1 in some scenario where you have mode time to develop (it makes your t1 quite static).

It feels like a really optimistic view on the Bayou to me. The more I'm thinking about this, the more I think flexibility is still to broad. Ulix for example can do most strat and scheme but he has some attocious matchup... imo matchup should be an other axis. As for raw power, I think it's quite broad but it should be seen as the power of your master/crew in a vacuum (not related to scoring but to the effectiveness of the action and/or action denial)... Looking at it as the power of a master/crew in its ideal scenario skew thing to much imo. Having access to powerful versatile/ook option should bump the raw power of a whole faction. Having access to a super synergistic KW should bump the raw power of a master, etc.

May I suggest to ask him 😀. @Radek play a lot of master... As long as they allow him to be in your face on turn one and draw a lot of cards... He had some success (mostly luck based of course 😋) with Ophelia 2.

All of them :-)... I'm not a fan of OG Dreamer at the moment. Seriously, as a summoner OG is slightly better to play the attrition game (but summoning LCB back + WW stitch engine is really good for that with Insomniac). OG is probably better at Leyline too. Beside that I find Insomniac to be really versatile but if you need an elite fighting force, you have more leeway in list building with OG but both can beat just fine. Insomniac need is LD minions so you don't have a lot of free SS in your list. He's amazing at symbols. He's doing fine in the other strat. He's stellar to do detonate. I like him more than OG in assassinate pool...

Nice... I like the axis bit I'm not sure of the scale... 5 should be an average master isn't? Anyway, I'll consider McMourning as your 5 in power level and Seamus as your 5 in flexibility (I'm surprised here... I tough he was more flexible than that)... Schtook (arguably one of the best master in the game) being only 7/6 confused me a bit though. I would like to see what fellow purple player think of our masters. My take (Master/power/flexibility) Zoraida 7/8 Dreamer 7/7 Titania 5/6 (?) Pandora 6/3 Nekima 7(?)/4 Marcus 6 (in arc he certainly has more power)/8 Lucius(?) 3/6 Euripides ?/?
