I have made a fairly big change to Ethereal teams, which you can see on the link above. This changed is based on a few things. 1 making the roster more interesting and unique as its one of the least played teams, 2 buffing the Wraiths as they were too squishy. Av8. 3 feedback from the few people playing with the roster. 4 to make it a bit more fun.
The syreens were largely ignored and didnt fit a role in the team so were ultimately removed (you can keep yours until they are killed or retired like all grandfathered teams.
Also I will likely be giving the syreens a buff in the undead pirates roster, but didnt want that buff to move across to this one.
I hope you enjoy the new direction the roster has taken, and give it a good bit of play testing |

What about the Spirit Hosts on Von Carstein teams?
I checked the Von Carstein roster and they have AG 3 Spirit Hosts there, is that a typo or deliberate choice? |

that was a typo, good spot. They are they same, but Von Carstein cant hire them any more. So a fluffy change and one to stop that roster potentially getting out of hand. |

Thanks. With AG 5, A access and Titchy they can be good sackers, this is why I asked. |

they certainly could, you hit on one of the reasons for change there too, lack of a role.
Though as they cant skill via scoring (no Hands) and they are av7 i suspect getting them a good set of skill is going to prove very tough
ag5 titchy = 3+ in to a cage |

So, that's basically the same as with Leap, VLL previously, right? Although, now they can get through screens more easily, but are easier to dodge past themselves. |

Unlike Leap, an AG 5 Titchy dodge can be rerolled with Dodge, that's the big difference.
Another difference is that now a Spirit Host can dodge several times to move through tackle zones, while Leap can be used only once per turn. |

yup same as Leap VLL for breaking in to a typical cage but better at moving around the pitch. Only problem is they don't have cumulative tackle-zones, so protecting your ball carrier will be trickier.
I will be very interested to see how this plays out |

Diving Tackle on some Spirit Hosts mitigates their Titchy drawback.
For a half cage protecting a Banshee ball carrier with Blodge Side Step you need just 2 Diving Tackle Spirit Hosts. |

yup, in theory that'll work quite nicely, though I would be talking dodge and wrestle before DT i think. or at least one of them. +av7 and cant score should make skilling them far from easy.
will be interesting. |

I'd take Diving Tackle as first skill only on the 2 Spirit Hosts forming the half cage and would deploy them just on offence to keep them safe, as I do with my 3 Slann Catchers.
The rest of Spirit Hosts would take Wrodge for protection and Tackle for -2d blitzes on ball carrier. |

They are similar to Slann and I have a game plan for them, sadly I can't find matches in SL for the teams I already have, so for the moment I'm not going to make an Ethereal team.
I really feel the lack of a SL scheduler. |

hmm odd. I never have much problem. Game finder's fine apart from a few pickers who seem to only accept monstrously unfair match ups. But there is only a handful of them. |
