Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre - Tips & Strategies

Many times rounds of this game can end very quickly or come down to 1 or 2 points between a win and a lose.

Don’t go all out on the offensive straight away, think, a sneaky heal in your beginning spell could be all that you need to gain the advantage over your opponent as you can heal higher than your starting health.

Epic Spell Wars is fun, fast, and hilarious… and sometimes in order to win, you have to lose a bit. That may sound strange, but the thing with this game is that if you come out swinging hard every round, the other players may decide to team up against the common foe (you). The next thing you know, you’re collecting dead wizard cards as your friends battle it out over your wizard’s smoldering remains.

A time honored trick used by the likes of Gandalf, Dumbledore, and countless other famous wizards is… play the fool. If you’re confident that you can afford to take a few lumps for a round or two, play a few weaker spell combinations. You may even want to make a deliberate “mistake” by playing a spell that appears poorly thought out. When you do, play it up (convincingly, don’t overdo it). If it works, your opponents will be focused on each other and then you can hold that really kick-butt awesome spell to finish one or more of them off in a moment of weakness.

Of course, don’t overplay this trick. Like bluffing in poker, if you’re the wizard who cried fireball one too many times, people won’t fall for it. They may even decide to blast you with Old Scratch’s Festering Testikill just for spite.

When only playing with 3 people as I find I do more and more, instead of winning 2 battles we now have to win three battles. There are enough last wizard standing tokens to support the longer game for 3 players.

If you’re in a good position to deal a bunch of damage to everyone else (have the Thai Foon spell for example), use a Wild Magic card in the Delivery slot. Initiative is zero and you can then flip through the deck to place the first Delivery card you encounter onto your spell.
