i.....need.....moar.....spoilers.....nauw!

I think we've seen all the cards from this set at this point.

then my life serves no purpose until we see the next expansion

I'm still not sure with the wording of the rules. zone attacks state (page 23 rule book) states "therefore abilities and traits that allow a target to react when it is the target of an attack do not apply to zone attacks"

force field states "when ever you are attacked ....etc", most enchantments are traits so from this wording I see force field will not prevent damage from zone attacks

Hail of stones. Even if you are fast like the ferret you cannot dodge them because its raining stones and there is simply too many of them so you will be hit regardless. Having a shield like the knights of westlock aint gonna protect you either as you will still be hit.

Same goes for other zone attacks - the entire zone is struck so there is nowhere to hide.

Forcefield however still surrounds the FM and negates this attack.

That was thematically. Rules wise my first reply in this topic still answers your post.
Regarding the wording for zone attacks they are meant for traits and abilites that work during the avoid attack step.

Yes



And here is why:

Unavoidable in this game (see codex) Means defenses cannot be used vs this attack.

Forcefield is not a defense. A defense has a special icon, and uses the effect die for rolling to see if the defense is succesful or not.

Forcefield Works BEFORE the avoid attackstep and do NOT roll the effect die.

Unavoidable Works during avoid attack step - so to speak -  to prevent the attacked creature using a defence.
(block and reverse attack is also affected by unavoidable.)


edit:
bonus info -
The above also Means that if a forcemaster with forcefield attacks a warlock with reverse attack, then the forcefield will not stop the reverse attack because we are past "before the avoid attack step" as that is where reverse attack gets revealed.

Hi
I'm new here, and have a question about Divine Intervension.
The card text says " in any zone in the arena", its means in any case without Range, but also without LOS ?

Thanks for replys
Alberto

When you cast the enchantment (face down as always), then the target must be in LOS of the caster and be within 0-2 zones. This information is from the top of the card.

When you reveal this enchantment you do what it says if you pay the reveal cost:

When this spell is revealed, you may Teleport this creature to any zone in the Arena, then destroy Divine Intervention.

Nothing fancy here. No restrictions. Any zone and no LOS required.

Also if you were to place a harmonize on a mana crystle is that considered a magebind because the mage is benefiting from it? Also does that apply if you applied that enchantment. Example attached to moonglow amulet?

Magebind is when you TARGET a mage - be it your own mage or an enemy mage. Then you pay the extra mana.
If you target equipment or anything else then you dont pay for magebind.

Mana crystals, mana flower and moonglow amulet do NOT have the channeling trait.
Yes - they increase the mages mana regeneration, but they do no generate mana themselves. So they do not have the channeling trait.
The icon for channeling is the purple sparkly circle. Familiars and Spawnpoints has this.

From the Codex:

Daze
Creature is disoriented and/or blinded. Whenever this creature makes an attack, roll the effect die at the end of the Declare Attack Step. If the result is 7 or higher, the attack is resolved normally. If the result is 6 or less, the attack “misses” its target and skips to Step 5 of the attack sequence (Additional Strikes). If it makes a Zone Attack, only check once: the entire attack either fails or succeeds normally. If a creature has more than one Daze on it, roll only one time to see if the creature misses. In addition, the Dazed creature suffers a -2 penalty to all Defense rolls for each Daze marker it has. All Daze markers are removed at the end of the creature’s Action Phase. Daze has a removal cost of 2. Conjurations cannot be Dazed.

Stun
Creature is Incapacitated. All Stun markers are removed at the end of the creature’s Action Phase. Stun has a removal cost of 4. Cannot affect conjurations.

Its real nice to do this kind of attack at the end of you non-initiative phase......you can get in two hits before he activates....

Its a damage barrier. and its severely broken if the counters from this damage barrier attack is removed at the end of the attacking creatures action phase AKA 0.5 second after you put the tokens on it, then you remove it.
It would only serve to help the defender counterstrike. Thats not good enough and makes circle of fire alot better.

Hi

I got:
1 x base
1 x Core spell tome 1
1 x Core spell tome 2
1 x Forcemaster vs warlord


This Means i have a total of 4 spellbooks available to fill out.

I have managed to build 4 different spellbooks for the following mages:
Forcemaster (non typical FM that focus on defense and creatures.)
Warlock (swarm with attackspell support)
Wizard (Mana control)
Warlord (creature build)


I have found my self to be short on the following or out of copies after finishing nr 4:
1 x elemental cloak
1 or 2 Dragon scale hauberks
2 x leather boots
1 x leather gloves
2-3 teleport
2 teleport trap
3 wall of stone

Non of my builds uses hand of bim-shala, but im pretty sure i could come up with 2 different builds and then my current 3 wouldnt suffice.

Im pretty sure that even if i had 2 more spellbooks and made a book for both the priestess and the beastmaster resulting in having a spellbook for each mage (kinda cool), that it would be possible for me to build whatever i wanted if i had the above ~15-18 copies

Others running short on the same copies?

@jack smack, if you could imagine the grand canyon more like the mage pulling the arena floor apart and holding it there, giving that wall an upkeep cost. also make it immune to all damage apart from the elements which get + X(fire, earth, air, water cause corrosion or environmental damage).

Sounds good.

Point is i want a wall that Blocks passage (with or without bashing possibility) but still allows for ranged attacks.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but I would really like to see a standard Shield and a standard Sword. Both would be War, equipment spells that would take up one hand. It would be cool if the Shield had some sort of tough -x effect against elemental attacks.

I am sure somebody has mentioned this, but I really want some freeze/ice themed cards.

I bet the ice spells will come with the Lich / necromancer

Good idea with the shield. Im not sure how to balance the 1 hand sword though.
