Please excuse me for a moment whilst I express myself gleefully.
Ding dong, the witch is dead!  Which old witch?  The Wicked Witch!  Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead!

  Nephele the air queen was struck down by a mind hunt this turn, and while I lost a thug its unfortunate demise does nothing to contain my glee!  Woohoo, dead elemental royalty.  And it looks like a queen of the deeps may have also gone down this turn.  Any confirmation on that, licker?
