Hi Guys,
Does Demonic Link work with Demonhide Mask?
-
If you enchantment transfuse it, yes it will work
-
It absolutely does! But it is difficult to pull off. First, your mage only has the demon subtype while attacking, and you can't cast demonic link on a non demon. This prevents you from casting it directly on your mage and makes the combo impossible in academy. However, in arena you can use enchantment transfusion to move it over during the middle of an attack action. After it's on your mage, it works great. All of its benefits require the demon subtype to activate though, so if you ever lose the mask, demonic link will effectively be suppressed as well.
-
Will it not be destroyed after the attack because the mage loses the demonic subtype?

I am not sure what was the final answer to this in the playtester discussions. If target bars are checked always or only while casting.

Everytime something is working fine, Enchantment transfusion messes with it. :P

No

As Mystery said, there was some discussion regarding whether or not Enchantments should constantly check to make sure their attachment is legal or not, and the rules may change in the future as a result of such discussions (or may not, only time will tell), but right now the rules as written are that Enchantments check that their target is legal when they are cast and again when they are revealed. In addition, some effects like Enchantment Transfusion check to make sure things are legal. But currently it is not checked constantly.
That's actually why the effect of Demonic Link was written the way it is, to only trigger for Demonic creatures. That keeps it from being used with something it wasn't meant to while the broader issue is looked into further.

A bump due to today's discussion: (http://forum.arcanewonders.com/index.php?topic=17861.msg82800#msg82800)
Your Warlock is equipped with Demonhide Mask and [mwcard=FWQ09]Sectarus, Dark Rune Sword[/mwcard]. Can you attack yourself and have Sectarus put Demonic Link on your Mage? (i.e. Does Sectarus cast its Curse Enchantment before the attack is over, while your Mage is still a Demon as per Demonhide Mask?)

I believe it does its casting during damage and effects step. The reason i believe that is it says immediately cast.
