So, let's take a look at the map here for DMF: Houston. We have a familiar setting in the Noonshade Ruins. The map just screams WALL or MORTS. Literally, if you put your ear to the vinyl, you can hear the Paladins and Warlocks, just like you're at the beach.
Seriously though, if WALL and Trip Morts isn't all over the place at DMF, I'll be shocked. As is my MO though, and since my nickname is Mo, I think I'll give you a twist of an idea today to try out.
Savin and Graccus, 2/3rds of WALL, are really, really good. Savin is, in my opinion, the best Alliance Mini in the game. So let's start there, and see where we go:
So now we have 15 to 21 Honor, depending how we handle the ABCs. Savin is there to soak up as needed, and Graccus is there to do the same thing, but ensure that the damage taken is dealt back as well with his hammer. Avenger's shield, as you'll notice, makes an entrance to the line up as well. With what's coming next to round out our team, I think this makes a good inclusion, when needed. So who's coming to the Party?
I know. The first thing everyone is saying right now... WTF?! Nightmare Blade? If you haven't tried it yet, it's an interesting combination. Notice that Nightmare Blade doesn't say "away from". It just says, Move them one space. I've found this to be extremely useful when setting up concencrations and the like. It also opens up some great opportunities to force people into a taunted position with Savin, and of course, let's Bolvar reroll when attacking.
With the option of respawning on the center VP, there will be a lot of action in the middle, and being able to do more damage is a nice thing. Bolvar's Ret is pound for pound one of, if not the best card in the game.
So Triple Paladin? Possibly. All out knock down fight in the center for the win? Definitive. Morts? Who knows right? Sure they will be there... but what do you, the Critical Community think?
