"Long ago, our people were children. Feared all that surrounded, they were victims of Creation. We taught them the learn, to hunt, to survive and to shape. We gave them knowledge of the elements and the cycle of seasons. Prepared them with tools and perception to live and prosper, and tools to defend and fight, if must. Once they asked for our guidance and offered us their prayings and veneration.
Once they thanked us..

Now, our people see themselves grown. They believe they mastered the arts and shape. They forgotten the spirits who taught them, and the rituals that provided balance. They worship the tools created by hand - the very reflection of their own weakness. They forgot the rituals of battle. They have forgotten us. They have forgotten Creation.."

I am the spirit of Iron, Fire and War. I am Ogun. I am the Will to survive.

Are the Heavy Armors necessary?   Would you be better off with more Lixr's in their place?

[Tiko]

Thought it should fit in with the theme of Iron, thus it could cheaply remold a damaged golem, after elixir's or other damages, giving the chance maybe for another elixir.. 

But it's not quite necessary

But isn't this kind of... Hermes? Without growing creatures, sure, but still has the same elements and Elixirs, Armors, Protected Fire Buckler, Explosions, Fahrenheit... Seems like an easier Hermes to me...

[Tiko]

Hmm, this Hermes thing starts to be overwhelming..

So, just as a reminder: (not spoiler-ed willingly)


Compare please, the decks, the possible strategy of the gods, and the tactics needed to defeat them. Hermes pulls out extreme firepower, destroying (almost) anything that you play. Your best chance against him, is to dispatch those fragile creatures, or to stall as long as you can, using some scurvy things, like AM or Otys. Ogun offers the opposite, as his creatures are someway monolithic, and the more you try to lenghten the match, the more powerful he gets and harder to kill. Don't forget, that with a 15+ Stone Tower average, chaining up 3-5 stoneskins may become a real pain, and that should be your main concern; main focus is not on the few identical cards.
