With my method, the only way to create fodder is to overbuff with a lot of spells/items.  That itself is difficult because you are wasting lots more resources (as opposed to just one necessary for the other two methods), requiring more buff time, and you still aren't guaranteed fodder success.But, quite frankly, IME it rarely comes up in game.  I see more targeted dispelling than area dispelling.</blockquote>
