I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Witch of Endor and Familiar Spirits are just too powerful IMO; they can recur characters and enhancements with little to no cost. Abomination is on the verge of brokenness as well. Firewalking might be a little UP due to limited targetablity. I really love everything else though, overall very balanced.

Abomination + Familiar spirits = OP. You keep getting more characters to set aside and keep recuring it.
As a national champion, I support ReyZen deck pouches.

Abomination should have a cost similar to Haman's Plot. ::)

I love necromancer, but I agree with

Forgot to have Witch of Endor nix the searched-for character after one block, that should be fixed now.

As for Familiar Spirits, you have to give up initiative to do the search, there is no way to "play next" it with Magicians, and the only Enhancements it can search for are Abomination and Firewalking, both of which can be Negated unless you band to Simon Magus which gives you large numbers.

I am sensing a wave of decks coming that all include a magician defense. With of Endor converts any discarded character to pale green or orange? AWESOME! How about a thomas or Michael?

Pale Green/Orange for one block. Unfortunately, I think the game rule that Converted Heroes lose their SA's would still apply.

Not during the battle phase; you could block with him from hand, and then he would be discarded after battle, if he was still in play by then.
Use the Mad Bomber to rescue his Province.
