I just placed an order for Wiz War, a reprint of a classic game from the 80s. This game was Richard Garfield's inspiration for Magic the Gathering. The theme is a set of wizards fighting to the death to become the new arch mage. There are schools of magic, spells, and counter spells. Not to mention instant, often gratifying, death. An Ameritrash classic.

After that I've got my sights set on Macao. A few year's old Euro with action points, card drafting, and dice. DICE!?

I would suggest you try before you buy Macao. It was very much a flavor of the week game in my group. We played it 3-4 times, and it has not hit the table since.
