It's a great day for a MageKnight battle, and Reece and Ryan are squaring off in today's match. It's Draconum vs. Draconum today, with some oldies-but-goodies being fielded. Reece has brought his Magna Drac to the table, which dates all the way back to Rebellion, and Ryan has his Mortis Drac, which is from the Whirlwind Expansion, which was officially retired at the end of January by WizKids. Let's meet the warriors and view their armies.

Reece's Army:

  • Magna Draconum - 68
  • Trollkiller (lvl 5) - 86
  • Autumn (lvl 2) - 34
  • Ram Warrior* - 12

    TOTAL = 200

Ryan's Army:

  • Mortis Draconum - 78
  • War Hatchetkrugg*** - 40
  • War Hatchetkrugg*** - 40
  • Amazon Mancatcher** - 19
  • Faith Healer*** - 22

    TOTAL = 199

On to the battle. This was to be a 50 minute timed game. Here's what the terrain set up looks like. Three out of the four pieces of terrain have been placed near Ryan's edge of the table. The terrain consists of two blocking and one hindering.

The players spent roughly the first nine minutes establishing position on the field. Here is a summary of what had happened by 0:08:46 minutes. Ryan's Mancatcher was rammed by Reece's Ram Warrior. He responded on his next turn by successfully capturing the Ram Warrior. Ryan's Faith Healer was rammed by Reece's Trollkiller. Reece had pushed Autumn past her Magic Lev. and Healing slots. Reece successfully attacked Ryan's War Hatchetkrugg*** with his Magna Draconum.

An interesting skirmish had developed by 0:12:01. Ryan's Mortis Draconum had engaged Reece's Trollkiller and they exchanged some attacks. Eventually, Reece's Magna Draconum joined the fray. To respond to this, Ryan brought his two War Hatchetkruggs in to help out.

At 0:22:12, one of Ryan's Kruggs demoralized Trollkiller using one action, and his Faith Healer finished the job using the second action. Reece then killed Ryan's Mortis with his Magna Drac on the following turn. This would set up an endgame that looked like this: Ryan's two War Hatchetkruggs (slightly damaged) and Faith Healer (past healing) vs. Reece's Magna Draconum (slightly damaged) and Autumn (past healing.)

The healers went at it against each other, and the victor of that bout was Autumn, who, on her last click, killed the opposing Faith Healer at 0:31:35. The Magna Draconum was unable to keep up with the two War Hatchetkruggs at the end of the battle, and the last action in the game was Reece's Magna pushing itself to death to attack one of Ryan's mounted Kruggs.

WINNER: Ryan
