You are right about my comment to round 3.

I realized after i left my computer that the Tower isnt a creature and with initative you can do everything before enemy gets to act. (QC jinx to counter his QC save butt spell.)

Yes, ranged flyers can attack ground creatures they share a zone with, ignoring minimum range.

A creature cannot gain flying during an attack. You can reveal Eagle Wings at the end of any attack step, but it will not help you.

could you link me to where i can read about this? or tell what page in the rulebook / FAQ?

Ranged flyer vs flyer:  ignore min range?

Ranged flyer vs non-flyer: ignore min range?

Ranged vs flyer: ignore min range according to rules.

Ranged vs non-flyer: Must follow range

Give official answer for this.....

With the current wording intercept still works while the guard is restrained which is a big joke.

The whole meaning lying behind the word "intercept" screams to the heavens that it would not be possible to use this ability while sinking down in Quicksand...

@ deckbuilder:

• Protect the Zone: If a creature is in a zone with one
or more enemies with guard markers (except for guards
he can ignore; see sidebar), that creature cannot make a
melee attack against any object without a guard marker

The wording for flying creatures is to explain that flying may melee attack flying even though there is guards.
It cannot attack conjurations if there is enemy guards in the zone.

Stick to the rules... dont bind stuff your not allowed to.


anyway.
Fellella PREPARES decoy.
Fellella dies before she casts her binded spell - decoy.

If your Familiar does not cast its prepared spell,
the spell returns to your spellbook at the beginning
of the next Planning Phase. But, if your Familiar is
destroyed before it casts the spell you assigned to
it, the spell is also destroyed.


When Decoy is revealed, destroy it. When this spell is destroyed its controller gains 2 mana.

2.
If the scmitiar's attack would have anything it would be "reach". but it doesnt... so it can only be used against non-flyers.

3.
Yes you must pay 2 mana whenever you cast an enchantment. Enchanments are ALWAYS cast facedown. When you choose to reveal, you pay reveal cost.

5.
Spells cannot be moved from an object with spellbind.
Except the objects that allows you to bind a new spell to itself... the then original spell is sent back to the owners spellbook.

Some objects allows you to PREPARE spells (familiars, spawnpoints)...this is different. Prepared spells are one time only - either the spell is resolved (incantation and attack spell) and then going to the discard pile. Or summoned to the board (creatures, enchantments, equipment, conjurations).

Big problem with my suggestion involving rouse of the beast yes.

Rouse of the beast would still Work and would actually allow for 2 turns for the new creature if played accordingly. That would no doubt be too strong.

Anyway my idea was not something that should change anything dramatically, just a minor tweak to the spawnpoints that currently seem inferior to pretty much all strategies. Perhaps spawnpoints will be viable with Conquest of Kumanjaro or in future releases.

I was thinking about a simple way to overall improve spawnpoints, simply because i want them to be part of the game and have a viable function as part of a competetive spellbook.

The current consenssus is that it takes too long for a spawnpoint to give back the initial cost - more so in terms of mana and less so in terms of the action it requires.

What would happen if a creature from a spawnpoint summoned during the deployment phase starts with its action marker ready side up?
 - It would add another surprise element that the opponent would not be able to plan cards for (We are past planning phase when the creatures come out of spawnpoints).
 - It would reduce the amount of rounds it takes for a spawnpoint to "repay itself" in terms of actions.
 - Guards with or without intercepts coming to aid in an instance!
 - familiars can assist straight away! though both a familiar and a spawnpoints starts to become a heavy mana investment.

 - The pentagram could potentially reduce the cost 1 by triggering the mana income on the spawnpoint by attacking a creature with the just summoned (for instance) firebrand imp.
 - Clerics can put mana on Temple of Asyra one round earlier.
 - If timed with initiative gorgons can come out and directly place weak tokens on enemy creatures from the Voltari.
 - Beastmaster can do well timed summons of "boss" creatures that buffs friendly creatures of the same type. (redclaw for instance)
 - A Barrack near the enemy can summon AND move goblin bombers. The goblin builder will be able to move and actually build something in the round after (2 action phases from here). Thorg coming out Taunting, sniper coming out sniping etc.

Overpowered? Bad idea?
What do you think?
