   [b]Comments based on[/b]: 4 plays; owned. [b]Things I like[/b]: • Presents two challenges—hand management and deck building • Deck building mechanic—starting weak and building strength—is always exciting • Numerous mages with different abilities add variety • Loads of cards included in one box provide lots of replayability • Can be played solo or with others (cooperatively) • Well-designed box includes dividers for easy organization [b]Things I dislike[/b]: • Standard "true solo" mode is too easy • Art is hit or miss • Theme doesn't grab me • Expedition feels tacked on [b]Balance[/b] :star::star::star::nostar::nostar: Multiple nemeses provide a range of challenges, but true solo mode is easy [b]Complexity[/b] :star::star::star::halfstar::nostar: Gameplay is straightforward in most cases, and the rulebook is clear (though a little long) [b]Depth[/b] :star::star::star::star::halfstar: The mix of mages, supply cards, and nemeses means there's plenty to explore [b]Enjoyment[/b] :star::star::star::star::star: :star::star::star::nostar::nostar:

   This was already my favorite deck builder. This expansion moves it to a top 5 game all time for me. The new mages are so interesting The treasures are a great addition. The expedition system is so cool and really brings this game to life even more.
