Hey, didn't I play you earlier flutt?

OT: Depends, if you can use magikill well and micro well, it's usually magikill who will win, but if you can't micro well, then albows will work better for you.

Neither is a particularly good army. Normally, speartons would be added into the mix, and shadowwraths, and archers, and... well you get the idea.

I say magikill wins. Use the giants to turtle while the magikill poisons everyone.

...both.

Giant + Albow + Magikill (+ Meric too usually) is a very good combination.

Magikill+giants should be better; allbows have an annoying tedency to move in front of your giants, so they require some micro anyway. Magikill+Giant means that you can use the giants to stun units while you rain blasts and electric walls on them. Allbows, on the other hand, don't really need to stun their opponents. My allbow mass seems to work better with speartons attacking enemy magikill rather than giant tanking more damage.

Edit: Also, I forgot that we can hide magikill with a giant mass. I even have a reply from that; the poor guy was waaay above my levels, but he was unable to break giant mass with spearton mass because I hid my magikill amongst my giants; he must've been tearing his hair out over where the magikill was.
