Do all wizards have all cantrips at 1st level?

[Ninja-to]

Magic Missile = 2d4+Int to one target.
Cloud of Daggers = 1d6+Int to one square, +Wis to anyone starting their turn in it or entering it.

If your Wis is 14 or more, then Cloud of Daggers will do more damage.

If you have a fighter that can use Tide of Iron to push people in the Cloud of Daggers, it will do more. Most othere classes (including wizards) posses an ability to move foes about as well.

You can use Cloud of Daggers as a deterrent to going in one square on the battlefield unlike MM (i.e. keep the bad guys from flanking your rogue that decided to run into the group of kobolds).

CoD also lasts until the end of your next turn, so two hits with it instead of one, and in the meantime you've cast a 2nd spell.

Except both OAs and charges require basic melee attacks.

True, I saw that.

I was confused by two things. First was 'choose two at will powers' for all the classes. The wizard cantrips are at will, so even though I was fairly sure wizards get all, I just wanted to double check.

Correction--you choose two level 1 at-will attack powers. Cantrips aren't attack powers and they aren't even level 1--note the upper right corner of the power block which says "Wizard Cantrip" instead of "Wizard Attack 1."

Second was the fact there were only two cantrips in the sample wizard in KotSF so it threw me off a bit. Just by coincidence there were 'two' at will cantrips... so as I haven't read the PHB fully yet, was wondering if I missed something.

Don't use the KotS characters as a basis for anything rules related--several of them have some pretty glaring errors in their stats, some of which are "edited for space" issues and some of which are borked-up math.

Magic Missile + Commander's Strike (Warlord) = Win

 

[cdrcjsn]

Magic Missile + Commander's Strike (Warlord) = Win

Commander's Strike is Melee Range I believe, with the effect of an ally adjacent to the monster being granted a free basic melee attack.

MM isn't a basic melee attack.

Correct.

I think a lot of people have been confused about Magic Missile since the Penny Arcade Podcast mistakenly stated that it could be used to do an OA.
