Walkthrough: Morvahna The Autumnblade

[emmonno]

Is Morvahna paired with Mannikins and Sentry Stones a viable tactic?
Summon a few mannikins within 3" of Morvahna, when Morvahna gets hit, sacrifice the mannikins, negating all damage if I'm right.
Next turn Sentry Stone gets a Fury and it can again summon a mannikin

Yeah, that will work, but I prefer Shifting Stones for the duty.

Yes and no.

Its a neat idea but not cost effective. The problem is that you are paying three points when you could instead pay two points to buy a minimum unit of bonegrinders and you would get some additional spell effects thrown into the bargain. Or two swamp gobbers, who could block LOS to her altogether for just one point. Games dont last long enough for the self-replenishing aspect of mannikins to be relevent.

In general I use shifting stones as sac pawn targets - they will be in the list anyway, they are hard to remove, and at least one unit often gets left backfield so it doesnt cost you anything to keep them nearby.

I see, thanks for the reaction anyway

With the rise of the Deathclock the use of a maximum unit of the Wolves of Orboros (and attachments) combined with Morv using Regrowth is likely to see more use. It is a vicious bit of quicksand. She can, in theory, bring up to seven of them back each turn. Proper applications will force opponents to eat massive amounts of clock time to try and kill them only to seem most of them (if not all) simply reappear.

If your going to go the route of trying to deathclocking your opponent than you might want to bring a Witch Doctor.

Druids are a little better for those purposes.... brick up with vortexes

quick question i'm not sure about do you regrowth before leaching fury or after leaching fury?

6 at most each turn, and that's if she drops her other upkeeps and does not camp at all. 4 is the most you'll bring back realistically.

after you pay for upkeeps

[Folha Seca]

You sure? 'cause I am not!

Regrowth rules state you do it during your control phase. Only that! So basically - as I understand it - you could:

0. have harvested up to 7 Fury during the previous round, then

1. at the start of the control phase pay this (up to) 7 Fury for regrowing troopers (this you can do anytime during the control phase)
2. then leach some Fury (from your beast and/or out of your blood)
3. then pay upkeeps
4. then heal with Restoration (usually up to three with Shifting Stones)...!

That wrong?

Please confirm as I would love to play her (today) and don't like to cheat accidentally...!

[SillySod]

Regrowth works in the following way....

1 - fury management
2 - upkeeps, keep em or drop em
3 - pay additional costs for regrowth.

If you look at the rules for the control phase they specify that things occur in a certain order. Its quite precise. The same rules dictate that apparition occurs after upkeeping (or dropping) mirage rather than before.

I have tried it and confirm, Morvahna eats a lot of your opponent's clock time. I play her with 10 BTs with Nuala and 10 WoO + UA, each game I played my opponent was close to losing on clock while I had about 20 minutes left on mine.
With a good second list who can handle Purification/RfP matchups, she is a very powerful SR caster, especially in Deathclock.
