eHaley and the Escalation League: What Went Wrong

In the escalation league that we are running at Art of War (www.aowcincy.com) it hasn't been a great season for me.  Currently, I'm 0-and-7.  Since I played 3 games in week one (at 15-points), it's actually worse: I'm 0-and-8.

So what happened?  Was I playing a bad caster?  Absolutely not.  I'm playing Epic Haley, known to be one of the best casters in the game.  Am I playing a bad list?  Potentially.  I'll get into that later.  Am I a bad player?  The jury is out on this one.

So let's get into the list, the analysis, and where I fell apart...

Battle Report: eHexy versus eHaley

In this episode of Battle Report, we're displaying the talents of two warcasters who are at or near the top of their respective factions.  Epic Haley really needs no introduction.  She's not just one of the best casters in Cygnar, she's one of the best casters in the game.  With the arrival of the Stormwall, she became even better.  She's got one of the best spell lists in the game, her feat is amazing on so many levels, and she has enough Focus to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants.

Epic Hexeris (Lord Arbiter Hexeris) is more recent, having come on the scene in HORDES: Domination.  Skorne players were almost universally pleased with the epic version of Sexy Hexy.  Solid spell list (including such favorites as Black Spot and Ashen Veil) along with a feat that works extremely well against other Hordes opponents, eHexy can take a lot of options and make them work.
