Kailasa VS Lanka

W9 adds a lot of raw survivability to the Kailasa sacreds, and makes for a nice super-Falling Frosts from your pretender. The downside is the Falling Frosts aren't that good in the Heat 3 that Kailasa favors, but it does the job even when Lanka has a screen of longdead.

Alteration is basically useless, including Destruction. You just don't get enough damage in before you are mobbed.

Destruction certainly is not *useless*. Cast it and *then* cast falling frost (or storm of thorns or whatever.)

I greatly dislike W9 as any flavor of the good monkeys, because you get the Music of the Spheres and they don't stack. I think you're better off taking a SC pretender and no bless at all than taking a redundant quickness.

We're talking about small map, two nation, turn 10 fights here. In those situations, you don't have both Destruction AND Falling Frost. You've got one or the other, and between the two Destruction just doesn't have legs. Talk to me about it on turn 20 or 30.

You aren't EVER going to get Music of the Spheres if you don't survive the first Lanka Rush.

If you can get falling frost, you can get the Music- both are level 5. And music is far better, IMO

Celestial Music is Thaum 6, so there is no way you'll have it by turn 10.
