The next step is to massacre and abduct with spare offense. Think we did around 10 massacres on the chained ud mystic and abducted until the yield was 0 in our last war. You're not going to be a very effective t/m when you have close to no defense due to getting chained.

Imo, ud mystic shouldn't lean too much towards being a mage, just have enough mwpa to op opposing attackers and make sure you function well as an attacker yourself. For rune supplies, work with the rest of your kd. For example, I'm playing a faery rogue, but the first science I capped was production, I make sure I overproduce runes in war and aid my kd mates so they don't have to run 35% towers and still get rekt by a raze.
