5. They Shall not Pass NO no


Summary
 
Well another interesting game…Turn 4 would have decided it, me and Trent were in agreement that the Iyanden 4.2.3 would have won. If time permitted it, but Trent was going to work and I was happy we manage to get the game done early in the morning.

The list feel right with the 1:2 ratio and is the best way for the future of the list.

The wraith blades are best suit in vampires or coming through a portal. Although lacking a FF limited their use.

The animated construct rule didn’t come into play again…I believe this is not need but, others may think differently..

I think the points cost in the list a pretty spot on and so I don’t see the need to change points.
