Full Magic Lizards

An experiment to see how many magic dice can be crammed into a 2000 list. This list manages:

  • 11 power dice base (2 base, 4 Slann, 4 Skink Shamans, 1 Plaque of dominion)
  • Up to 6 additional power dice as the Slann casts spells (1 free per spell)
  • An additional 2 carried over from the previous magic phase
  • Up to 19 total useable power dice
  • 12 dispell dice base (2 base, 2 Slann, 2 Skink Shamans, 1 Plaque of dominion, 5 Saurus)
  • An additional 2 carried over from previous magic phase
  • Up to 14 total usable dispel dice

The Slann also gets +1 to cast & Dispel, can’t miscast and has 5 spells + drain magic. Line of sight can be drawn from either Skink Shaman.
