hi there, quite comprehensive info, and if i can add a couple of things:
1.Melee Mayhem: Can be soul-destroying if opponent has cocatrice as tank, and you don't have enough Magic attack,
2.Odd ones out: i agree with you, it should be odd ones in. I use the Dwarf and the Fire Splinter sometimes when i get this rule,
3.Reverse speed: The Cyclops for sure. Also i like the stone golem, or clay golem
I think it would be nice to make a video. There is s Google extension, Nimbus Video recorder,if you want to look it up
cheers!
