Title: Highly embarassing clarification ref Tanglevine
Post by: Fentum on August 29, 2013, 02:02:42 AM

You know those moments when you have been playing a game a hundred times, pulling all sorts of wild combo's thinking hard about the ultimate Assassin/Big Few/Forge/Control/Free Action/Banana/Mountain Dew/Tractor/Umvavu stratetactics, and suddenly doubt your basic rules understanding?

Tanglevine: a creature with this card acting on it can melee attack a creature in its zone, right? It DOES NOT have to target the Tanglevine, right? Tanglevine causes the Restrained trait, which stops movement, but does not affect target selection, right?

Please help this doubting Thomas.

A creature restrained, whether by Tanglevine, Force Hold, or Force Crush is still able to make melee attacks against creatures in the same zone. They do not need to attack the Tanglevine.

PHEW!

My honour remains intact. Thanks.
