Rune Maw can only redirect spells that target DIRECTLY. AoE spells (Purple Sun etc) aren't affected by it.

Sure, so Purple Sun bypasses it, but Dwellers, Gateway etc... it still works. It is only 30pts or so isn't it?

Im pretty much going to quote this as it sums my feelings up pretty well. Even with the new problems in 8th I'd rather have it than 7th.

Why doesn't Runemaw work, just out of interest?


It doesn't work against spells that do not target so board-wide spells (daemons) or that one category that specifically states that spells of that category don't need targets (forget and don't have the rulebook with me....rituals?). Runemaw only works if a spell targets the unit that has the banner.

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do
