12 honor parties! Empty 12 honor parties!

Occasionally my friends and I play with the stipulation that our parties may not have more than 12 honor. That leaves a fairly small number of options, but the games are very quick and usually fun. We usually play best 3 out of 5. What are your best ideas? I really like:

Marlowe Christophers x 3

Shadowburn x 3
Healing potion x 3

It's simple and the strategy works well against most teams, as most 4 honor characters have fairly low resist. Fire your main attack at an undamaged enemy, hopefully crit. Then go in with a shadowburn for the kill, which will ready the shadowburn. The healing potion works well with fel armor and is an instant, which is why I pack them instead of silk bandages. Anyway it's a fun team. What are your suggestions for other decent 12 honor teams?

If I recall correctly, Fishsticks was pretty popular for awhile, as well as triple Ojo'mon, largely in part due to Flamestrike and Chain Lightning being such good ABC's. Replacing a Marlowe with a Yanna toting tranquility would give some ridiclous healing, and leave more room for DoTs, which were part of early designs for MC bands. DoT and run was triple MC's original design, it was virtually garuanteed the win by tick 10, providing your opponent didn't have Cleanse or Mass Dispel. I would probably go with triple Yanna with Bear Form and Lacerates. Just because.

Personally I like a Max-15 format better, as it gives a bit more options in honor distribution. 7-4-4, 6-5-4, 6-6-3 if you're playing Monsters, 5-5-5... plus you can use sub-15 Honor values which shouldn't be uncompetitive in a format where 31 Honor teams aren't available to crush them. It's just low enough to disallow trip Mortimers too. Wink

It also means you have some loose Honor points available to play some of the cheaper non-free equips.

For 12 points I believe your choices are between Fishsticks and Mojo. For one, these were the only two 12 points teams that made it into competitive tournaments under normal rules. For another, Ice Block just warps this format so much, you either want to be playing it or playing something that beats it, and there's no decent Priest team that can play Mass Dispel so you're stuck with Purge for your SB options.

I guess you could play Timmo or Yanna too, as both have access to Stealth to counter Ice Block teams. Triple Timmo teams were on the verge of being competitive. Not many 4 points figs have awesome armor so it should be a lot better in that format. Magistrix Enaria could also be possible as Flame Strike can work around Ice Block, but obviously she'd be playing Polymorph and not Ice Block herself as her attack is only 2 ticks which means she can't play the defensive Ice Block strategy as well as the fishies.

Thanks a lot for your insight and explanations! I've never played in a tournament nor followed tournament results that much so everything you've said is news to me. Makes me wish I had two more blindlight murlocs lol. I will definitely bring up the 15 honor cap the next time my friends and I are playing. Maybe tournament play will start back up and I'll finally be able to enjoy that aspect of the game. Here's to being hopefull!
