I have worked out how to overcome cleanse its by using this spell set. x1 Rip or Whispers of the Mind x1 Nora Storm x1 Boulder Throw x1 Nublins Surprise Pies x1 Avalanche or Lightning Storm x1 Vertical Push x1 Bait and Switch x1 Peak Tactics x1 Alacrity x1 Idol of the Elements x1 Paper Wings x1Headshrinkers Totem or Mangled Totem
The game is very playable without cleanse, it can make things more difficult but the advantage of having other options is a big bonus. Think about the times you lost a game "because I didnt have cleanse" more often that not the game would of been lost anyway, it is a convenient excuse.
