I'd like to note that there is no role for Jund Battlemage, thus making Sarkhan very easy to find.

I did not have it bolded was that what you are referring to? It should be fixed now....

I am a tad confused can you elaborate LaughingMan?

Must've missed it. My bad.

I was saying that if there were no battlemages (which you've fixed by bolding), the Alpha (who scries as one) would be easy to find.

One small question: With Sharuum the Hegemon's vortex powers does he swap all the points made at the two targets or the points those two targets make?

Can Bahu juggle three WW games? We shall see....

Quick question though- do all members of each shard know each other right off the bat? Who knows who?

In.
