Title: Walls affect own creatures?
Post by: Mrmt on January 14, 2014, 01:45:51 PM: I'm assuming walls affect your own creatures as well as enemy creatures, correct?

Also, re replacing walls with different walls, the rulebook says you have to destroy the old wall first. Can the mage who cast it simply remove it, or does he have to send his creatures to tear it down?

Maybe that powerful that it would unsettle the game.

More unsettling than teleport? :)

Much.

Several Elite Creature books are built on having the extra 10 mana at the start of the game to summon something big. If it was unsummoned, their entire opening has been trashed, since it would be extremely difficult to resummon it. It would effectively eliminate that style of play from the game.

Makes sense.

@Mrmt: What Aylin said nails it. ;)

Post by: DeckBuilder on January 17, 2014, 01:28:31 AM: Going back to the OP about Walls, I don't think Unsummon was meant to be aggressive tempo but more an Undo button.

I think Unsummon on controlled objects may be plausible...
