I'm new to the website and new to mage wars academy. Been playing for about a month. I had some questions regarding the game.
1) Can you attack creatures just brought into play, for example, if a mage just purchased with mana and brought a creature into play can the other mage attack it. And if so, can the creature defend itself.
2) Can you guard on the same creature multiple times within the same round; or do you only get to guard once per round? I'm confused because in the rules it says that if the creature is active, it will remain active even after being attached and losing its guard marker. This will allow it to still activate that round, and thus it could choose to attack or guard again!
I thought that you could only choose to either attack or guard but not both per round. If you could help me clear this up I'd appreciate it. The way I've been playing currently because I am not sure; is I pick a creature such as "the ridgeback skunk" and put a guard on him; and he guards the entire round until the next round.
3) Can more than 1 creature guard per round; if so, who takes precedence in guarding. Do both guard the mage, or can you choose one to guard a creature as well.
4) When attacking a pest who is guarding, why would you want to ignore it. Why would you guard with a pest anyway. And if a pest is attacking you and you are guarding, why would you ignore the pest.
5) If a creature is staggered. Does the stagger token get removed at the "beginning " of the next round? For example, if a mage who has the initiative attacks another mage's creature at the start of a new action phase and staggers that creature, when is it removed. This is somewhat confusing.
Sorry for all the questions, just wanted to make sure I am playing the game correctly. Thanks.
